Rosalía scoops historic third best album award at Latin Grammys

Spanish star Rosalía has made history as the first woman to win the best album award at the Latin Grammys three times, after being recognised for her project Lux. The singer took home five trophies in total, including two for her track La Perla which was named song of the year and best pop song.

Rosalía, who opened the ceremony with a performance of some of her biggest songs, was honoured with the prize for best alternative music album. The singer had previously won best album for El Mal Querer in 2019 and Motomami in 2022 - and her third Lux is also tipped to be a favourite when nominations are announced for the Grammys next week.

He performed some of his best-loved tracks including Gasolina and Con Calma, and was joined on stage by rappers including LL Cool J and French Montana. Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh, who collabed with Daddy Yankee on Pokito, even took a break from his Aura India tour for the set, making him the first Indian artist to perform at the Latin Grammys.
