Now in its third year, the Latin Grammy’s Best New Artist Showcase raised the bar for emerging talent, delivering a spectacular evening on Tuesday (Nov. 12) at Miami Beach’s Faena Forum. Hosted by Catalina García of Monsieur Periné, the event spotlighted this year’s contenders for the 25th Annual Latin Grammy Awards best new artist category, each proving why they deserved their place on this prestigious platform.
The event featured a star-studded lineup of nominees, each bringing their own flavor to the stage: Agris, Kevin Aguilar, Darumas , Nicolle Horbath, Cacá Magalhães, Os Garotin, Íñigo Quintero , Sofi Saar, and Ela Taubert.
The performances spanned a gamut of genres and styles. Many artists — who each had the opportunity to sing two songs — chose to cover iconic renditions, a move that, while risky, paid off in some cases by highlighting their vocal prowess and interpretive skills.
