Surprises from the Underground/Indie World
The 15th annual Latin GRAMMY Awards are taking place on November 20th. As the following nominee list demonstrates, there is a refreshing range of artists — veteran and fresh-faced, commercial and underground — represented this year.
Indie artists such as Siddhartha (a Guadalajra based musician whose third album “El Vuelo del Pez” features the Grammy nominated song “El Aire”) and Caloncho (a Mexican singer-songwriter nominated as a “Best New Artist” whose album “Fruta” is also up for a Grammy) are examples of the diverse offerings featured in this year’s iteration of the Latin Grammys. Both of these Mexican artists are nominated for “Best Alternative Music Album.”
Any way you slice it, there’s clearly quality music just waiting to be discovered in the treasure trove of nominated artists.
Check out the full (Warning: there's a lot of names) list of nominees below:
