.Jbalvin is clarifying what he and other artists meant by, “Sin reggaeton no hay LatinGRAMMY.”
“I know there’s a lot being said about reggaeton and the phrase ‘without reggaeton there is no Latin GRAMMYs,’” Balvin shared Wednesday morning in a video message. “It is a very strong statement. I’m taking the time to explain what it means because if I don’t, it will come across as if we think other genres or artists aren’t important. That’s not at all what we are trying to say.”
Balvin said he has a problem with how the term “urban” is used in different categories. It’s important to note that in 2004, the Latin Recording Academy changed the Best Rap/Hip-Hop Album category to Best Urban Music Album. “I don’t agree with using us for ratings,” Balvin said in reference to reggaeton singers being asked to perform during the awards show. “And then not going home with what we deserve in our own categories. I understand these are not the awards for ‘who sells the most,’ or the awards for ‘most streams,’ or the awards for ‘fan favorite,’ but there is a reality that we need to change.”
