NPR's Alt.Latino podcast hosts share highlights from the Latin Grammys ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: What happens in Vegas is the subject of our next conversation. SHAPIRO: Puerto Rican megastar Bad Bunny was the biggest name among many winners of last night's Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas. CONTRERAS: And I say it's interesting because while Bad Bunny pretty much dominates Latin music in terms of sales and popularity and Rosalia is literally changing the sound of Latin music, Jorge Drexler is what I call the poet laureate of Latin America because his songwriting is so literate, almost to the point of being cerebral. SHAPIRO: NPR Music's Felix Contreras and Anamaria Sayre are the hosts of the Alt.Latino podcast, a weekly look at Latino arts and culture.
