Rosalía

's

Motomami

album

has won the

Grammy

Award for

best alternative or rock Latin album

in the 65th edition of these awards that are being held this Sunday at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, announced the United States Recording Academy .

The Catalan artist, who has not attended the pre-gala for these awards, was competing with

Tinta y Tiempo

by Jorge Drexler;

1940 Carmen

, Mon Laferte;

Allegory

, by Gaby Moreno;

and with

Los Años Salvajes

, the work of Fito Páez.

It is not the first Anglo-

Saxon Grammy

for the Spanish singer and producer, who also won the award in the same category in 2020, a year in which she was also nominated for best new artist.

However, the commercial success of his album

Motomami

suggested that in November he could sneak into the album of the year nominations, one of the main categories, something that did not end up happening to the disappointment of much of the critics and the public.

More if possible after she was one of the great winners in the last

Latin Grammys

, taking four gramophones in the sections of best recording engineering, best packaging design, best alternative music album and the jewel in the crown: best album of the year for

Motomami

.

The gap left by Rosalía as Hispanic representative in the category of best album of the year in this 65th American Grammy, was filled by the Puerto Rican

Bad Bunny

with

Un Verano Sin Ti

.

Also known as

Conejo Malo

, he made history by being the first artist to be a finalist in said section with a production entirely in Spanish.

The 65th Grammy Awards is taking place this Sunday at the Crypto.com Arena, a venue known for being the home where the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers basketball teams play their games.

Due to the large number of categories recognized by the Grammys, the Recording Academy divides its ceremony into two parts: a pre-gala, which is not televised and where the majority of awards are given;

and the big ceremony, which takes place later in the afternoon and announces the most popular awards already before the cameras
