Yesterday, the Latin Recording Academy announced the nominees for the 26th edition of the Latin Grammy Awards. There were many usual suspects there, such as Bad Bunny, who is leading the list with 12 nominations; Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, following closely with 10; Karol G, with three important nominations, including Song of the Year; and our very own Gloria Estefan, who received an Album of the Year nomination. But we were truly happy to see a name on that list: Mr. Pauer.

The Miami-based Venezuelan producer, whose real name is Toto Gonzalez, received a nomination for Best Latin Electronic Music Performance — the second of his career. The local music scene has been enjoying Gonzalez's music for decades; he has performed at venues around town and collaborated with artists such as Diplo, Daddy Yankee, Amigos Invisibles, and many more.

"I am deeply honored to receive this nomination, which represents an important milestone in my artistic journey," Gonzalez tells New Times. "'Rulay en Dubai' reflects my vision of creating music that unites cultures through joy and creativity. Collaborating with Villa Electronika and DJ Polin made this track even more special, and I proudly share this recognition with my home country, Venezuela, and my city, Miami."

Besides the usual nominations, a new field, Visual Media, and two categories — Best Music for Visual Media and Best Roots Song — were added to the Latin Grammy Awards process this year. On October 1, the final round of voting will begin, and the winners will be announced at the 26th Annual Latin Grammy Awards on Thursday, November 13, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
