The Latin Grammy Award for Best Music for Visual Media is an award presented annually by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences at the Latin Grammy Awards. The description of the category at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards states that it is for "original music created to accompany and enrich the storyline of movies, television series, video games, and other visual media". In order to be eligible, the project must have been recorded specifically to accompany a visual production and have a duration of at least 15 minutes of the original music. The award is presented to the composer(s) and artist(s) with significant contributions. The category was introduced at the 26th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in 2025, alongside the category for Best Roots Song.
The Latin Grammy Award for Best Roots Song is an award presented annually by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences at the Latin Grammy Awards. The description of the category at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards states that it is for "new, unpublished recordings, both vocal and instrumental, that reflect the traditions and roots of various communities, cultures, or social groups, especially those of Hispanic American origin, whether in Spanish, Portuguese or in indigenous languages or dialects". In regards to the genres, these include tango, folk, flamenco, and other traditional subgenres, excluding tropical music and its derivatives. The award is presented to the songwriters of the song and not to the performer unless they also participated in the composition of the song. The category was introduced at the 26th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in 2025, alongside the category for Best Music for Visual Media.
Free Spirits is the second studio album by Argentine duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, released on 19 March 2026 via 5020 Records. A follow-up to their first extended play / second live album Papota, it features guest appearances from Jack Black, Anderson .Paak, Sting and Fred Again, alongside production from Anderson .Paak, Fred Again, Federico Vindver and Rafa Arcaute, among others. Initially titled Top of the Hills and announced after the 26th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in November 2025, the album was delayed and later cancelled due to a swift and a sudden breakdown. In February 2026, the duo announced their new album Free Spirits in a video teased via social media, named after Sting's fictional wellness center of the same name. To promote the album, the duo are set to embark in a world tour from May to November 2026. The album was supported by three singles: "No Me Sirve Más", "Hasta Jesús Tuvo un Mal Día" and "Goo Goo Ga Ga". Free Spirits was met with generally favorable reviews from critics.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
