The 2022 Latin GRAMMYs are less than a month away, and we now know who will be hosting the Biggest Night in Latin Music.
The Latin Recording Academy announced today that Latin GRAMMY nominee Anitta, Latin GRAMMY winner and GRAMMY-nominated artist Luis Fonsi, Latin GRAMMY and GRAMMY winner Laura Pausini, and Latin GRAMMY nominee and recipient of the Latin Recording Academy’s President’s Award Thalía will together host the 2022 Latin GRAMMYs, to be held on Thursday, Nov. 17.
The 2022 Latin GRAMMYs promise to honor the legacy, celebrate the present, and embrace the future of Latin music — all with a deliberate consciousness about the future generations of music creators. With their array of styles, successes and histories, this year’s hosts embody that promise.

With a total of eight career Latin GRAMMY nominations, Brazilian pop star Anitta is currently nominated for Record of the Year and Best Reggaeton Performance. Singing in Portuguese, Spanish and English, she has helped Brazilian culture reach a global audience. She made history earlier this year when her Spanish-language single, "Envolver," topped the Global Top 50 chart on Spotify — making her the first Brazilian singer and the first solo Latin artist to do so.
