The Latin Grammys will broadcast from the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas in one week, November 21. The awards ceremony, the biggest in the wide field of Latin music, offers an appropriately wide range of prizes. Performers across a number of genres will vie for 48 awards.

Music Times is going to be so bold as to offer our predictions for each prize. -
