Background and story

The Grammy Awards (actually Grammophone Awards), which have been presented since 1958, are presented annually in numerous categories by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) in the United States of America for artistic achievement, technical competence and excellent overall performance regardless of the album - Honor sales or chart position. The prize was awarded for high-quality vocal and instrumental albums from the music fields Latin Pop , Latin Rock and Latin Hip-Hop .

The category was introduced as a merger of the Best Latin Rock, Alternative or Urban Album and Best Latin Pop Album categories to reduce the number of Grammy categories. In June 2012, however, it was announced that the two original prizes will be awarded again from 2013.

The winner of the only award was the Mexican band Maná .
