LATIN GRAMMY AWARDS

Grammy Award

The 'Latin Grammy Awards' were launched in 2000 with a telecast aired on CBS. It was the first primarily Spanish language prime-time program carried on an American network television. Like the Grammy Awards, the Latin Grammys recognize artistic and technical excellence in the recording arts and sciences by peer vote (the Latin Grammy Awards Process). It has already come to represent the height of achievement in Latin music recording.
The 8th Annual Latin Grammy Awards will take place on November 8, 2007 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
