The 23rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards ceremony was held on Thursday, November 17, 2022, at the Michelob Ultra Arena, Las Vegas to honor the best musical releases within Latin music released from June 1, 2021, to May 31, 2022.[3] The nominations were announced via a virtual livestream on September 20, 2022, presented by Kany García, Christina Aguilera, Banda Los Sebastianes, Becky G, Yotuel, Criolo, Nicky Jam, Akapellah, Luísa Sonza, Sebastián Yatra and Camilo.[4][5] The three-hour ceremony aired live on Univision and was hosted by singers Anitta, Luis Fonsi, Laura Pausini and Thalía.[1]

In April 2022, Mexican singer and songwriter Marco Antonio Solís was named Person of the Year by the Latin Recording Academy.[6] Singers and musicians Rosario Flores, Myriam Hernández, Rita Lee, Amanda Miguel and Yordano are received the Lifetime Achievement Award while Spanish singer Manolo Díaz, Cuban saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera and Mexican bassist Abraham Laboriel are this year's recipients of the Trustees Award.[7]

Uruguayan singer Jorge Drexler and Spanish singer C. Tangana won both Record of the Year and Song of the Year for their collaboration "Tocarte". I was the second time Drexler wins both categories in the same night after receiving the two awards for "Telefonía" in 2018. Spanish singer Rosalía won Album of the Year for Motomami, becoming the first female artist to win the category more than once. Mexican singer Silvana Estrada and Cuban-American singer Angela Alvarez won Best New Artist in a tie. It was the first time in the history of the awards that a General Field category resulted in a tie.
