Nominations were to be announced on September 20, 2017. However, due to the earthquake in Mexico which occurred a previous day, as well as other natural disasters that affected Spanish-speaking communities, the Latin Recording Academy did not announce the nominations until Tuesday, September 26. [1]
This marked the second time when the Latin Recording Academy had to delay or cancel one of their signature events. In 2001, the Latin Recording Academy was forced to cancel the 2nd Annual Latin Grammy Awards due to the September 11 attacks. Instead, the winners of those awards were announced at a press conference the following month. [2] [3] The 18th Annual Latin Grammy Awards were still held on time, on November 16, 2017, despite the delay of the announcement of the nominations.
