The 2025 Latin Grammys will return to Las Vegas for the 15th time

The 2025 Latin Grammys will return to Las Vegas for the 15th time

Independent22-04-2025

The 2025 Latin Grammys are headed back to Las Vegas.
The 26th annual award show will take place on Nov. 13 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It marks the 15th time the show has taken place in Sin City.
The three-hour telecast will be broadcast live on Univision. Nominations will be announced on Sept. 17.
Last year's ceremony was held at the Kaseya Center in Miami — the heart of Latin culture in the U.S., where the Latin Recording Academy is headquartered.
Gabriel Abaroa Jr., the Latin Recording Academy's former president and CEO (2003-2021) and current president emeritus told The Associated Press in 2024 that the idea is 'to keep the Latin Grammys traveling, because it shows the nature of our music.'
The inaugural Latin Grammy Awards were held in Los Angeles in 2000, followed by shows in Miami, New York City, Houston, Seville, Spain and Las Vegas.
The 2023 Latin Grammys were held in Seville, Spain, the first and only time the show took place outside the U.S.
The move, facilitated by a nearly 19 million-euro deal between the government of Andalusia and the Latin Recording Academy, sparked some controversy, with some criticizing the Latin Grammys decision to hold the show in the very European country that colonized much of Latin America.
'In the next couple of years, you will see another international edition of the Latin Grammys,' Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy told AP last year.
In a statement partnering the 2025 announcement, Abud said, 'We are proud to once again bring the passion and creativity of Latin music to Las Vegas. The city has welcomed the Latin Grammys over the years, and we look forward to another great Latin Grammy week celebrating Latin music and its creators.'

Russell Martin can't be a Rangers write off already as Angus Gunn shoots down damaged goods theory

Gunn played with Martin during the former Southampton boss' last few months as a Norwich player and played against his Saints side Scotland keeper Angus Gunn insists Rangers supporters are wrong to write off Russell Martin as permanently damaged goods just because he crashed and burned in the Premier League with Southampton. Martin was in his last few months as Norwich captain when Gunn first broke into the starting XI at Carrow Road in 2017 - shortly before the defender left the club on an ill-fated loan spell to Ibrox. ‌ Now Martin seems poised to return to Glasgow as head coach as the search for Philippe Clement's successor nears completion. ‌ And Gunn is adamant that Martin's managerial reputation has not been damaged irreparably by last season's top flight shocker on the south coast, where he was bulleted as boss after winning one of his first 16 games and with Saints rock bottom in the league table and heading straight back to the second tier. Asked is anxious Rangers fans - who have responded angrily to the prospect - should look beyond Martin's nightmarish previous campaign Gunn said: 'Yes, I think so. 'I think, obviously, it's hard to compare a promoted team going into the Premier League with a team like Rangers going into European games. 'I think, as a manager, he showed what he can do, not only with Southampton but with Swansea as well. 'He took a team that wasn't expected to do much quite far into the Championship as well. 'I think it will be a positive thing for Rangers. But, obviously, I think the only thing that can bring those supporters round is probably him getting in the door and starting well. That's the only thing that can happen.' ‌ And Gunn - who came up against Southampton as Martin led them on a promotion push out of the Championship - insists the former Scotland international is far from the tactical one trick pony his critics accuse him of being. He went on: "They were a tough team. I think we had a couple of good games against them. One was 4-3, one was 0-0, so quite contrasting. ‌ 'We watched the evolution of their team throughout the season. I think when we first played them, they were quite open. 'Then, when we played them again, they were a little bit pragmatic. I think that shows a coach that can adapt and change the way his team plays. 'Watching his teams over the few years that he was there, I thought he did that. Even though some people probably said that he was reluctant to change a lot. ‌ 'I thought he did that quite well, especially in the Championship anyway. That was the main thing, really.' And Gunn knows from personal experience how difficult it is to make it up into the premised land of England's Premier League. He nodded: "Yes, 100 per cent, I think. Obviously we had the pressure of them coming down as well. ‌ 'A lot of the teams find it quite hard but I think, as a manager, not just him, but his staff as well - there was a lot of pressure on him and the team and he managed to deliver.' Gunn was cutting his first team teeth at Norwich on loan from Manchester City when he played under Martin as skipper. And he insists he could see, even at that stage, that Martin was destined for a new career in the dugout. ‌ He said: 'Obviously, I only worked with him as a player at Norwich. He's a very intellectual guy. 'I went in there as a young goalkeeper and he helped me massively, even though he wasn't in the team every week and playing regularly. ‌ 'He was the captain of the club and he had good relationships with everyone in the dressing room. 'Obviously, watching what he's done at Southampton, I thought he'd done incredibly well there and probably was unfortunate to lose his job there because it's always difficult for teams coming up from the Championship to even compete with some of the Premier League teams. 'I watch him now on the TV and the way he wants to play and his philosophy. I really hope whatever he goes onto in his career is successful. I don't know if he's going to go to Rangers or not, but obviously he had a spell there as well, so he kind of knows the club a little bit. ‌ 'I think it would be a really good thing for the Rangers, to be fair. 'Yes, you could tell he had the qualities to become a coach back then and there were a few other players in that dressing room who were the same - like Steven Naismith who was there as well. 'You can tell on the pitch when you're playing with these players. They kind of start coaching whilst they're still playing, if you like, sort of organising on the pitch. 'He was one of them, but Russell wasn't just on the pitch, he was off the pitch as well, where he had close relationships with everyone. 'Even though, like I said, he wasn't a regular playing in the team, he was always on hand and always upbeat and a good person to go to.'

Liverpool transfer belief behind huge Wirtz bid as Slot eyes next two targets

Mirror Football takes a look at Liverpool's summer transfer window so far in what is expected to be a busy couple of months as boss Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes work away The confetti had barely been cleared from the Anfield pitch after Liverpool 's Premier League title celebrations and the focus was firmly on making sure the trophy will remain there next season. This summer is going to be busy for the Reds if the first few days of the transfer market being open are anything to go by. This will be the window when Arne Slot starts to really put his touch to the team. ‌ Not only to make it more his squad, but also to ensure that they can compete on four fronts next season. This is a summer of adding more depth and moving on players who do not fit the criteria or - in the case of Caoimhin Kelleher - need to be guaranteed much more playing time. Those close to the club stress there is not a transfer war chest to be splashed out on but recruitment will be backed by the owners, FSG, and sales. ‌ The mantra remains the same. Spend on what they believe is value rather than for the sake of it. That is why there must be huge belief within the club that Florian Wirtz is a sensational footballer with potential to be even better otherwise they would not be submitting eye-watering nine-figure offers. While the signing of Jeremie Frimpong, also from Bayer Leverkusen, in a £29.5m deal is more the deals we have been accustomed to seeing the Reds make. A low - in today's market - release clause being met to get a highly-rated player who is versatile enough to play in different positions, even if pushing Conor Bradley for a right-back starting spot may be the initial aim. It is clear that this is - while being led by sporting director Richard Hughes - the start of Slot putting his touches to the team after his first summer saw the only arrival being Federico Chiesa on a cut-price deal. For all the talk of last season being Slot turning the Reds more orchestral than the heavy metal football of Jurgen Klopp, those within the club felt the changes to the playing style were more subtle than that. Slot worked with what he had got. He shifted Ryan Gravenberch to the No.6 role while the full-backs were not given as much freedom to roam and more control was asked from the front line. It brought a 20th English league title when many expected them to be battling it out for a Champions League spot at best. Yet Slot was still not content. He wants to win the title again but also go further in Europe. The Dutchman knew against PSG that Liverpool struggled with their frantic press and pace with the Reds going through a slight lull at the time they faced the soon-to-be-crowned European kings. ‌ That could have been down to his own overreliance on the same players. He was also concerned about how Newcastle 's midfield in the Carabao Cup final were too physical for the Reds but he is not adding muscle to match that. Instead, it appears more pace, flair and creativeness is how Slot is going about it. Wirtz is a deal that is expected to get done given the Reds have elbowed in ahead of Manchester City to ensure they're the destination of choice for the Germany attacking star. ‌ Frimpong is done with Trent Alexander-Arnold going to Real Madrid, with £10m banked to end his contract early. Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez is wanted while a striker could be dependent on who leaves this summer. Slot is starting to structure his team with the rock-solid foundation of a Premier League title to build upon, along with Mo Salah 's goals, Virgil van Dijk's defensive prowess and Alisson's steady hands. It is why many across Europe believe Anfield is the place to be at the moment.

Meghan Markle couldn't get Beyonce so settled for her mum… but even a global star couldn't save As Ever, expert slams

MEGHAN Markle couldn't bag Beyonce for her podcast so she settled for her mum instead, an expert claimed. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, sat down with Tina Knowles for the latest episode of Confessions of a Female Founder this week. 6 Meghan Markle couldn't bag Beyonce for her podcast so she settled for her mum instead, an expert claimed.

This comes as the Duchess decided to "just pause" restocking As Ever - after previously selling out in under an hour. Meg said she wants to wait until it is "completely stable and we have everything we need" as to not annoy customers. Mr Ede said: "Meghan obviously is trying really hard to establish herself in a big way, and associating herself with other female founders, was kind of a good idea, because it went well with the As Ever brand, and how that was developing. "But the issue is that actually the As Ever brand hasn't really gone particularly far, so she can't really say that she's a particularly great female founder. "And so when she's been interviewing some of these brilliant people like Sarah Blakely, for instance, who who came up with Spanx and was one of the first youngest billionaires in the world, that's somebody who's actually aspirational, somebody who's worked really hard and created a product which is sold around the world and recognized around the world. "And unfortunately, as ever isn't." Mr Ede dubbed it more of a "PR spin" than a proper brand. He also compared it to Tina Knowles' success as a bestselling author in America and a popular fashion designer. "Meghan is great at piggybacking off other people's success," the expert added. But, despite chatting to popular celebs on the podcast, Mr Ede didn't think it would be of much benefit. "I think one of the biggest problems with this is that unfortunately, Meghan hasn't had the people who are going to get the bums on seats who are going to get the listeners who are going to get the downloaders," he said. "And also the conversations aren't particularly interesting. "They're only interesting to people who want to be female founders, and if they're not, then it doesn't really give them much to talk about." Mr Ede also highlighted how the Duchess "isn't particularly relatable". He said there's a "massive disconnect" as "really she's not a female founder". The expert suggested the mum-of-two's best bet would be venturing into the fashion world. "I don't think she'll do another podcast. I just don't think it's working," he continued. "I would really sit back and go, 'how front facing do I need to be? Do I actually need to be right at the forefront of it? Or can I just use my name to influence and drive sales, make money and feel much more protected?' "I think that would be the best strategy for her in the long run." Meghan has previously told of the difficulties of building her firm and "how many tears" she has shed behind the scenes. She chatted about As Ever on a bonus episode of her podcast featuring Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles. The Duchess has suffered a myriad of problems with the business, from branding rows to claims she is "out of touch" with reality with her pricey jams. The 43-year-old has previously admitted As Ever "overwhelms" her and she stays up stressing about it until 3am. On the podcast, she also expressed her dream of launching a future business with daughter Princess Lilibet, after talking to Tina about the Cecred haircare line she started with Beyoncé. "I wonder if one day I'll be in business with Lily and we'll be building something," the Duchess said, with Tina adding: "That's the best." Meghan spoke about the April launch of her As Ever products including jam and herbal tea. She said that the "scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people", comparing it to "a sneaker drop". But she feared it might be "annoying" for customers, adding: "I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time." Meghan said: "So for me at the moment, with As Ever, it was great. We planned for a year we get and then everything sells out in 45 minutes. "Yes, amazing, great news. Then what do you do? And then you say 'Ok, we planned as best as we could. Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer? "I'm looking at it saying 'Just pause. That happened. Let's wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need'." She added how people "see all the flashy stuff and they see the product. But that end game... those behind the scenes moments, how many tears I've shed". But experts claimed she used a sneaky "ploy" to make sure her pricey food brand sold out in minutes. When Meghan, 43, finally launched her highly anticipated As Ever items, from £11 jars of jam to £22 limited edition honey, it was swiftly out of stock. But a source said: "This is simply a marketing ploy. "You make a relatively small amount available so it all gets bought and then you can say it's so popular it sold out." Meg's chat with Tina comes she shared snaps with Prince Harry as the couple enjoyed watching a Beyonce concert last month. The pair were seen dancing in a luxury suite worth thousands of dollars at the singer's Cowboy Carter tour in LA. Harry, 40, was standing and bopping his head awkwardly while the Duchess repeatedly threw her hands in the air as Beyonce belted out Texas Hold'Em. A separate official photo posted onto Beyonce's official tour website showed the couple smiling with their arms around each other. 6 An expert claimed chats with celebrities won't save Meg's brand Credit: Getty 6 Meghan and Harry pictured together at a Beyonce concert last month Credit: instagram
