Although the most important event in Latin music satisfied an immense majority of those presentseveral have been critics that have been heard in the last few hours regarding the invitations issued by the organization or the categories that were awarded during the two galas that were held in Seville.
The first to sound the alarm was José Merc, taking advantage of his status as a guest in La Resistencia so that, later, it was Lucas, from the group Andy and Lucas, who exploded against the Academy. In a video published on his Instagram account, the man from Cádiz regretted that no type of invitation was issued for the duet despite it being a world heritage site in Andalusia.
I don’t want it to seem like we’re jealous, but I think it’s out of justice, since the numbers support us. We don’t care about the criticism because we are going to retire, but I think we can’t look the other way. It seems a little out of step for us that a group like ours, being 100 kilometers from our house and being a world heritage site in Andaluca, has not even been invited to a Latin Grammys dinner.began the artist, who this week announced his upcoming retirement from the stage due to heart disease.
Understanding in advance not to have any nomination, Lucas has even criticized the presence of people from other different sectors. The Latin Grammys are becoming FITUR, where you go for five days, escape from your wife and drink three wines, has underlined. In addition, he has also criticized the different award categories. It seems like they have to give it to specific singers. It seems that by not wearing sunglasses, gold chains or 10,000 euro watches we are worthless.
Grateful for the affection
Insistent on a claim that has been very well received among his followers, Lucas has continued remembering the moment when they announced their retirement in El Hormiguero. We ended up overwhelmed by the affection of the people, he expressed before once again showing his anger. I am very surprised that they did not have the detail. Now anyone is nominated. I work hard, I work hard and I think we deserve some recognition.has settled before showing some of the awards that Andy and Lucas have achieved as a musical couple.
Jos Merc and flamenco
In a different line, although also critical, the singer-songwriter has praised the art of flamenco, also throwing a hint at Mr. Grammy. They are releasing albums that have nothing to do with flamenco so they can get a Latin Grammy.denounced a category in which Nia Pastori, Israel Fernández, Diego Guerrero, Juanfe Pérez and Omar Montes were nominated.
Flamenco is very difficult. To sing flamenco you have to be born. And when I talk about flamenco I don’t mean flamenco. Flamenco is flamenco, it is singing flamenco, without more storiessaid one of the greatest national exponents of this type of music.
