A personal search project for Residente, the ex-caller of Calle 13, was raised Tuesday with nine Latin Grammy nominations, the music industry awards produced in Spanish and Portuguese around the world. Residente is an album and a documentary produced by the Puerto Rican artist René Pérez in which he traces his roots and explores conflicts around the world. The song War is nominated for recording of the year (the product) and song of the year (composition), the album is nominated as album of the year and also dominates the categories of urban and alternative.
Colombians Maluma, with six, and Shakira, with five, are the following with more nominations in this year’s Latin Grammys, which will be delivered on November 16 in Las Vegas. The day before, the Latin music industry will pay homage to the entire career of Alejandro Sanz, chosen as Person of the Year. And there is Despacito, the Latin phenomenon of the year.
