Background

In March 2020, in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, the Latin Grammy organization announced that its annual gala was still set for November 2020 and would feature changes. Starting in 2020, the Latin Grammys would include a category exclusively focused on reggaeton to prevent controversies and callings for boycott, as happened the year before. Thus, a new category named "Best Reggaeton Performance" was introduced this year. Also, the Latin Recording Academy has decided to stop using the term "urban music" following many controversies surrounding that term of how they're following the Grammy Awards steps. "Best Pop/Rock Song" and "Best Rap/Hip Hop Song" replaced the "urban" categories, with the latter one including trap music.[3] The "Best Flamenco Album" category made its return to the Latin Grammys after being erased in 2018, due to the lack of competition.[4]

On August 18, the Latin Recording Academy announced the official date for the gala's celebration and its functioning. Under the slogan "Music Humanizes Us", the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards was be headquartered in the city of Miami, marking the first time the Latin Grammys are held in Florida since 2003. The ceremony featured performances from all around the world and was broadcast without a live public. Previously, in an official statement, the Latin Grammys organization wrote: " If local conditions are favorable in November, The Latin Academy will consider hosting a live audience telecast composed primarily of nominees, presenters and performers."[5] As a result of the pandemic, the special awards, namely the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year, Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Latin Grammy Trustees Award, were not presented this year.[6]

Originally, Carlos Rivera and Roselyn Sánchez were announced as hosts for the ceremony but Sánchez could not continue as host due to health issues.[7] Later, actresses Yalitza Aparicio and Ana Brenda Contreras were announced as hosts alongside Rivera,[8] but a few days later he cancelled his participation due to a COVID-19 case in his team.[9] Then, singer Victor Manuelle was announced as performer and also host with Aparicio and Contreras.
