The Latin Recording Academy announced today the nominees for the 18th annual Latin GRAMMY Awards, where DEBI NOVA received one nomination in the category of ‘Best Singer-Songwriter Album’ for her most recent production “Gran Ciudad.”

This record includes 11 songs and was recorded between Rio de Janeiro and Los Angeles under the production of Mario Caldato Jr (Beastie Boys and Jack Johnson’s producer) and a special collaboration by Sheila E and rapper Ila J.
