To celebrate the 20th anniversary, the academy unveiled a new version of its logo designed by Blanco-Lorenz, which changed the design from red to platinum.
“In addition to symbolizing successful music sales, and having long, historic ties to Latin America, platinum is known for being a malleable metal, more ductile than gold or silver, and a chemical catalyst,” said Latin Recording Academy President and Chief Executive Gabriel Abaroa Jr. in a statement.
Last year, Jorge Drexler of Uruguay earned top honors in the record, song and singer-songwriter of the year categories. Mexican crooner Luis Miguel won two trophies, for ranchero/mariachi album and album of the year. But Colombian hitmaker J Balvin, who led the field of nominees with eight nods, took home only one trophy, in the urban album category for “Vibras.”
