Latin Grammys showcase youthful talent

9月初,第五屆拉丁格萊美大獎在洛杉磯揭曉,來自100多個國家特別是西班牙、葡萄牙的歌手匯聚在洛杉磯世紀廣場,歡慶這個屬于拉丁歌手的節日。西班牙歌手阿萊德羅·桑茨獲得年度最佳專輯等四項大獎,成為此次頒獎典禮的最大贏家。上屆拉丁格萊美“最佳新人”獎的獲得者大衛·比斯巴爾與美國流行女歌手杰西卡·辛普森首度合作,為整場頒獎禮帶來第一首開場曲。

When the lights come up on Wednesday's Latin Grammys, many musicians like Mexican band Cafe Tacuba, who are little known in the United States, will vie for top honours in a glitzy Hollywood coming out party for new artists.

In a shift from prior years, when big mainstream superstars like Ricky Martin swept the top categories, the fifth annual Latin Grammys here feature Maria Rita and the group Skank in top categories like best record.

"The interesting thing is that younger and younger talent are being nominated and are coming to the forefront. It's pretty much a shift from previous years when the Grammys still catered to the commercial and the older Latino generation," said Luis Brandwayn of Latin Web radio network Batanga.com.

The only well-known star in the best album category is Alejandro Sanz, a top-selling artist in Spain and Latin America, who won his first U.S. Grammy in February for best Latin pop album for "No Es Lo Mismo" ("It's Not the Same").

No other best album contenders are big sellers in the United States, although a self-titled album by Brazilian singer Maria Rita, daughter of the late Elis Regina and one of her homeland's greatest singers, has been a hit in Brazil and Europe.

The shift toward the eclectic acts reflects overall trends in Latin music as artists have returned to their roots after the much ballyhooed "Latin Explosion" of 1999 proved a bust.

Back then, artists attempted to cross over into U.S. pop following Martin's blockbuster hit "Livin' la Vida Loca."

Other crossover stars included Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony and Enrique Iglesias. But more recently, Latin artists are rare at the top of U.S. pop charts, particularly as the U.S. music sector itself has suffered overall sales declines.

With a nationalistic renaissance in Latin music, the Latin Grammys have also grown more worldly with increasing numbers of nominees from Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries.

In July, Maria Rita, Sanz and octogenarian Cuban pianist Bebo Valdes shared honours as the most nominated performers for this with four nods each, including best-album for Maria Rita's "Maria Rita," Sanz's "No Es Lo Mismo," and Valdes' "Lagrimas Negras" ("Black Tears").

Also competing for best album are "Cuatro Caminos" ("Four Roads") by alternative band Cafe Tacuba and Argentine singer Kevin Johansen's "Sur O No Sur" ("South or Not South").

Oddsmakers favour "Lagrimas Negras," a collection of flamenco-tinged standards by Valdes and younger partner, Spanish Gypsy singer Diego El Cigala for best album. It nabbed three nominations and has been likened to "Buena Vista Social Club," another hit by elderly Cuban musicians.

Brazilian music producer Tom Capone led the field of Latin Grammy contenders overall with five nominations - for his work on "Maria Rita" and three other albums, including "Cosmotron," the latest release from popular Brazilian band Skank.

Song and record nominations -- for best songwriting and production/performance, respectively -- went to Menudo singer Robi Draco Rosa for "Mas Y Mas" ("More and More"), Sanz for "No Es Lo Mismo" and Julieta Venegas for "Andar Conmigo" ("Walk with Me").

Also vying for best record were Skank for "Dois Rios" ("Two Rivers"), Valdes and El Cigala for "Lagrimas Negras" and Maria Rita for "A Festa" ("The Party"). Johansen was nominated for best song for "La Procesion" ("The Procession"), as was Cafe Tacuba's Emmanuel Del Real for "Eres" ("You Are").

Maria Rita was nominated for best new artist, as was California hip-hop duo Akwid, Puerto Rican-born singer-songwriter Obie Bermudez, Colombian rockers Superlitio, and rock-reggae fusion band Mauricio & Palodeagua, also from Colombia.

The Latin Grammys will be telecast on CBS from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
