Chilean Singer Protests Topless on Latin Grammy Awards Red Carpet
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The artists were still arriving for the Latin Grammy award ceremony in Las Vegas, and the first protest has already been recorded. Chilean singer Mon Laferte showed her breasts with the message “In Chile, they torture, rape and kill,” on the red carpet of the Latin Grammy Festival in Las Vegas, United States. She is nominated for the Song of the Year award for “Amárrame,” recorded in partnership with Juanes.
With performances by Alicia Keys, Anitta, Alejandro Sanz, Fito Páez, and Luis Fonsi, the 20th edition of the Latin Grammy was held on Thursday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The commemorative edition featured performances by some 50 artists from several countries, including the Brazilian Paula Fernandes. The ceremony, which started at 10 PM (Brasília time), was hosted by Ricky Martin and actresses Roselyn Sánchez and Paz Vega.
Among the Brazilians who competed in general categories (not only those specific to songs in Portuguese) were Anitta, Tiago Iorc, Criolo, Nego do Borel, the pianist André Marques, and the instrumental trio formed by Edu Ribeiro, Fábio Peron, and Toninho Ferragutti.
Anitta (who posted an Instagram advertisement for the award with her face in Times Square, New York) competed in the category Best Urban Music Album for “Kisses”, against “X 100pre”, by Bad Bunny, “Mi movimiento”, by La Ghetto, “19”, by Feid and “Sueños”, by Sech. Tiago Iorc competed for the Song of the Year award, with “Desconstrução”. He was competing with ten other songs, including “Mi Persona Favorita,” by Alejandro Sanz and Camila Cabello, and “Calma,” by Pedro Capó.
