Raphael was all smiles upon receiving — this time on camera — his 2025 Person of the Year award from the Latin Recording Academy on Thursday night (Nov. 13) during the Latin Grammy Awards ceremony.

After being honored at a star-studded gala the previous eve, the legendary 82-year-old artist took to the stage for a memorable performance, accompanied by more than a dozen musicians who delivered a big band sound. The iconic Spanish singer-songwriter performed classics including “Qué Sabe Nadie” and “Mi Gran Noche” with his characteristic power and interpretive sensitivity.
