The Latin Recording Academy has made changes to its categories ahead of the 25th annual Latin Grammys.
thanks to changes the Latin Recording Academy has made to its eligibility guidelines, ahead of the 25th annual edition of the awards show.
The organization has created a new category called Best Contemporary Mexican Music Album , which will recognize “vocal or instrumental albums of Contemporary Regional Mexican Music, in Spanish,” according to the Academy. More than half of the album must contain new material, and 60 percent of it should maintain “the essence of the genres of Regional Mexican Music.
Additionally, the Academy has renamed its Best MPB to become MABP . And it added a new category in the electronic field: Best Latin Electronic Music Performance. To be eligible, more than half of an album should be Latin electronic music, and samples should not represent more than a quarter of the lyrics, as well as other qualifications.
The Latin Recording Academy has not yet set when it will announce nominations or hold the 25th Annual Latin Grammys; both will likely occur in the fall. To qualify for an award, a release must have come out between June 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024, so these changes might prove to be a boon to records that haven’t even come out yet.
