Congratulations to all the Believe-distributed labels and artists who have been nominated for the 26th edition of the prestigious Latin Grammy Awards. These nominations are a true recognition of their work and highlight the importance and vitality of local music genres, which the local teams at Believe Americas are committed to promoting every day.
