This year Poderosa competed in two categories, but did not win any awards
Gift
The 25th edition of the Latin Grammy Awards took place on Thursday evening (14/11) with a special performance by Anitta and Tiago Iorc, who dedicated the moment to the musician Sérgio Mendes (1941-2024). They were the only Brazilians to perform at the main ceremony, among a delegation of 400 artists who traveled to Miami, United States.
In the special moment, Anitta impressed the audience together with Iorc with an intimate performance of “Mil Veces”, a song nominated for the Record of the Year award. Soon after, they paid tribute to the bossa minha veteran with the song “Mas Que Nada”, one of Sérgio Mendes’ biggest hits.
Despite the vocal and guitar style, the presentation was quite lively to the surprise of the artists. Mendes’ song has had strong international appeal since its release in the 1960s. It’s worth mentioning that, along the way, Mendes won a Grammy Award and two more Latin Grammys.

This year, Anitta received two Latin Grammy nominations, but lost the two categories she was competing for to other artists. First, she competed for the award for best urban performance in Portuguese in a restricted event with “Joga pra Lua”, but was defeated by Gabriel O Pensador, Lulu Santos and Xamã with “Cachimbo da Paz 2”.
Subsequently, Poderosa had to compete with the big names of international music in the Record of the Year category, in which he competed with “Mil Veces”. The award was presented to her shortly after her intimate performance, but she ultimately lost to Juan Luis Guerra, with “Mambo 23”.
Only one Brazilian won the top prize: Hermeto Pascoal, who competed for best Latin jazz album with “Pra Você, Ilza.” The other national artists were also awarded before the event in the Portuguese music categories, considered extras as they were not part of the international competition. This event was reserved for artists and guests from the music industry.
