Yesterday the nominees for the 22nd installment of the Latin Grammy , which will be held next November 18 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas , Nevada, United States. And to tell the truth, not everyone is satisfied with this list.
The urban artist J Balvin attacked the Latin Recording Academy in a couple of tweets published just a few hours after it became known who the artists are have the opportunity to win one of the awards from the Academy . He considers that reggaeton does not have the recognition that it should , and also accused the Academy of using it for its own benefit, as mere advertising.
The Grammys don’t value us, but they need us. It is my opinion and nothing against the other genres because they deserve all the respect. But the trick is already boring. We give them Rating but they don’t give us respect ✊ (Pd. I’m nominated so they don’t come because I’m hurt) JOSE

In addition, made an invitation to the other artists of the genre not to attend the event and to raise their voices against the discrimination suffered by reggaeton and urban music in general.

“Those with power in the genre NONE SHOULD GO! That is, all of us, because we are a movement ”added Balvin. This is not the first time that the Academy has been challenged to be more inclusive in the list of nominations. Two years ago, in 2019, there was a movement called # SinReggaetónNoHayGrammys , where various singers shared an image on their social networks as a protest. The person in charge of starting this campaign was the reggaeton Daddy Yankee .
At that time, the Academy responded to the artists mentioning that they were open to the participation of anyone who wanted to be involved in the decision-making of the entity belonging to the music industry, since the nominations had arisen by an internal vote. Despite the disapproval of J Balvin in this year, the antiqueño is nominated in some categories, such as “ Song of the year ”and“ Best urban song ”, for his single“ Water“. He also achieved another nomination in the category “ Best Reggaeton Performance ”by“ Your poison ”. Note: This article have been indexed to our site.
