This summary was written by AI to complete the context; it is not based on a current source.
On 14 November 2019, at the 20th Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, Spanish singer Rosalía won Album of the Year for El Mal Querer. It was the top prize of the ceremony, organised by the Latin Recording Academy, and it marked a breakthrough for an artist from Catalonia who was then still early in her international career.
El Mal Querer had been released in November 2018. Rosalía made it with the producer El Guincho, and it blended flamenco with pop, electronic and urban sounds. Its concept was loosely based on Flamenca, an anonymous medieval novel about an abusive relationship, and each track was structured as a chapter in that story.
The win mattered because it showed a record rooted in flamenco, a traditional Andalusian music and dance style, could reach the highest level of Latin music recognition and a global audience. It established Rosalía as one of the leading figures in Spanish-language music and set the stage for the later albums and awards that followed.
