Mexican Singer-Songwriters Natalia Lafourcade & Leonel Garcia Lead Latin Grammy Nominations
Leonel García -- who sold millions as one half of Mexican pop duo Sin Bandera back in the early '00s but whose solo career hasn’t been nearly as successful -- leads the list of nominees with six nods, including for song and record of the year (for two different tracks) and best singer-songwriter album.
Following in number of nods is Natalia Lafourcade, an alt-pop singer-songwriter who was nominated for a best new artist Latin Grammy back in 2003. Lafourcade is up for five awards, including album of the year for Hasta La Raíz and song and record of the year for its title song, which, coincidentally, she wrote with García -- which gives him his three additional Latin Grammy nods this year.
Latin Grammy darlings Juan Luis Guerra and Alejandro Sanz each claimed four -- including for record and album of the year -- as did engineers Edgar Barrera, Demián Nava, and Alan Saucedo and producer Cachorro López.
And Nicky Jam and Ricky Martin each had three nominations, as did Pablo Alborán, Café Quijano, Pedro Capó and Vicentico.
