New Delhi: Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh is set to become the first Indian artist to perform at the Latin Grammy Awards. The 27th edition of the awards will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on 12 November, with Dosanjh sharing the stage with international music artists, including Colombian singer Karol G and Argentine music producer Bizarrap.
The Latin Recording Academy announced the additional list of performers on 5 November. Alongside Diljit, the line-up includes Baby Ranks, Bad Gyal, Miguel Colón, Divino, DJ Premier, Grupo Niche, Jay Wheeler, Lil Supa, Luis Enrique and Nathy Peluso.
“Punjabi AA Gaye Grammy Oye,” Diljit’s team commented on the announcement post on Instagram.
Diljit’s international performances
The 27th Latin Grammy Awards will be hosted by actor Roselyn Sanchez, who will return for the 10th time. The ceremony will also feature a special tribute to the late salsa musician Willie Colón. The original 13-member band associated with Colón will reunite for the performance under the musical direction of Ennio Gatti.
The awards will be broadcast live from Las Vegas on 12 November on Univision, UNIMÁS, Galavisión and streaming platform ViX.
Diljit’s appearance at the Latin Grammys comes after several international performances that have expanded his presence beyond the Indian music industry. In 2023, he became the first Punjabi artist to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California.
