I like the Grammy Awards<\/a> because I love music in general. I enjoy almost any type of music, but as you know, I particularly like Latin music.<\/p>\n The Grammy Awards gives me the opportunity to see what other people thought was the best recorded music this past year.<\/p>\n For that reason, I always learn more from the nominations than from the winners of the Grammy. The Grammy nominees list invariably contains great music that I didn’t know about. Now that I blog about Latin music, the Grammy awards give me an opportunity to rethink or even “study” the music of the Grammy winners. This is especially true if I believed a different artist had the best record in the category. It makes me wonder “what did they see that I didn’t”. However, that doesn’t mean that I must be “wrong”. To me the selection of best music is not all about right or wrong, but about preferences in music.<\/p>\n For example; I believed Arturo Sandoval had the best Big Band Jazz Album with “Dear Diz”. In this case, my opinion agreed with what the people in the National Academy of Recorded Arts and Science (NARAS) selected. I also thought Juanes had the Best Latin Pop Album with “MTV Unplugged”. It also agreed with NARAS ‘ Grammy selection.<\/p>\n Note: you can read my full review of Juanes “MTV Unplugged” HERE<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n I must say that I would’ve liked to see a surprise and that the Grammy had gone to Kany Garcia<\/a> for “Kany Garcia”. But Juanes and Juan Luis Guerra produced a magnificent album with “MTV Unplugged”.<\/p>\n“Retro” took Grammy as Best Tropical Latin Album<\/h3>\n
