VivirLatino

This morning at a press conference in Los Angeles, the nominees for the 9th Annual Latin GRAMMY® Awards were announced.
The award show is scheduled to take place on Nov.13 at the Toyota Center in Houston, and will be broadcast live on the Univision Network from 8 – 11 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. Central). (VivirLatino hasn’t made a decision if we will go this year as being locked in a basement with Univision peeps physically jumping in front of you so you can’t take pics/video doesn’t seem worth the expense).

Café Tacvba leads the nominations with six; Juanes and Gustavo Santaolalla garnered five nods each; Andrés Calamaro, Kany García and Julieta Venegas each received four nominations; 2008 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year Gloria Estefan, Victor Manuelle, Soraya Moraes, Ximena Sariñana, and Joan Sebastian are among those who earned three nods apiece. And a contingent of long-established artists and emerging music makers — including Pepe Aguilar, Maria Bethânia, Andrea Bocelli, Tego Calderón, Daddy Yankee, Plácido Domingo, Jose Feliciano, Vicente Fernández, Flex, Gilberto Gil, Alejandra Guzmán, Los Tigres Del Norte, Gian Marco, Manu Chao, Sergio Mendes, Molotov, Ednita Nazario, Laura Pausini, Maria Rita, Olga Tañón, Tito El Bambino, Caetano Veloso, and Wisin y Yandel — each earned nominations.
