J Balvin returned to the Latin Grammys stage to deliver a heart-rending performance of “Rojo.”
“My heart breaks and I pray for the world,” the Colombian superstar gently sang as he opened up the sultry club song. “Rojo” is up for several nominations, including Best Urban Song. “Our hearts are bleeding. We all need to unite,” he says in Spanish. Donning a three-piece white suit, a bleeding heart appeared on his blazer midway through the song to represent love and solidarity in a time of global struggles during the pandemic.
Balvin became the first winner of the telecast, receiving the Best Urban Album for his 2020 album, Colores. He accepted the Latin Grammy wearing a mask, noting that Latin music “unites all of us and makes us human. This is our night.” The Medellín performer leads the 2020 Latin Grammy nominations, racking up a total of 13 bids, including a double nom for Record of the Year with “Rojo” and “China,” his collaboration with Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Ozuna, and Karol G.
