Carlos Vives Opens 2024 Latin Grammys With Hits Medley, Gives Emotional Speech

The Colombian star and Person of the Year opened the awards with a performance both vibrant and nostalgic.

This was followed by romantic songs such as “Robarte un Beso” and the inevitable “Pa’ Mayte,” in a sequence that was both a celebration of his legacy and an intimate journey through the sounds and styles that have defined him. Throughout the spot, Vives was accompanied by backing vocalists and a live band that captured the essence of his unique style, fusing traditional instruments, such as accordion and bagpipe, with electric guitars, a blend that has characterized his approach since his beginnings. Silvestre Dangond, Sebastián Yatra, Carlos Vives, Juanes, and Camilo perform onstage during the 25th Latin GRAMMY Awards at Kaseya Center on Nov. 14, 2024 in Miami, Florida.
