The upcoming 2025 Latin Grammy Awards have added a visual media field and best music for visual media category, also an award for best roots song.
The upcoming Latin music ceremony will also now recognize a Best Roots Song, “given to the songwriters of new, unpublished recordings, both vocal and instrumental, that reflect the traditions and roots of various communities, cultures, or social groups, especially those of Hispanic American origin.” The sound should range from tango to folk, flamenco, and other traditional subgenres, excluding tropical music. To qualify, the total duration of the production must be at least 15 minutes of the original music and not different versions of it, and it can include songs with lyrics and vocals in Spanish, Portuguese, and/or regional dialects, or it can be instrumental. Eligible genres include tango, folk, flamenco, and other traditional subgenres, excluding tropical music and its derivatives, and must be in Spanish, Portuguese or in indigenous languages or dialects.
