Rosalía’s Lux takes album and song honors at the Latin Grammys

Rosalía emerged from the 27th Latin Grammy Awards with two of the night’s defining honors. At the November 12 ceremony at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, her “LUX (Complete Works)” was named album of the year, while “La Perla” won song of the year. The Latin Recording Academy’s official winners list confirms both results; the song prize recognizes songwriters rather than only the performer.

“La Perla” is credited to Noah Goldstein, David Rodríguez, Rosalía, Ryan Tedder and Dylan Wiggins, and features Yahritza y Su Esencia. The album honor recognizes the full-length recording and its credited creative team. In a field that crossed pop, urban music, folk and experimental sounds, the twin wins put the Spanish artist’s ambitious project at the center of this year’s celebration.

Rosalía also opened the televised show with a medley from “Lux,” according to the Associated Press. That performance and the awards are separate developments: the ceremony took place Thursday, while reports and winner lists circulated late that night and Friday morning. Readers should not mistake the older concert photograph on this page for an image from the 2026 awards.

The other general-field result worth noticing was record of the year, which went to Argentine artist Milo J for “Niño.” Record of the year recognizes the finished recording, while song of the year honors composition. That distinction helps explain why different artists can lead the same ceremony in different ways.

For listeners arriving at “Lux” through the awards, “La Perla” is a natural entry point, but the album prize points to a larger body of work. Both results are documented in the Academy’s official list, with independent coverage from AP and Variety.
