The Latin Grammy Award for Record of the Year is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes excellence and creates a wider awareness of cultural diversity and contributions of Latin recording artists in the United States and internationally.[1] The award is given to the performers, producers, audio engineers and mastering engineer for new songs in Spanish or Portuguese language. The songs included on an album released the previous year of submission are also eligible only if they have not been submitted to competition before. Instrumental songs are also eligible.[2] Due to the increasing musical changes in the industry, from 2012 the category includes 10 nominees, according to a restructuration made by the academy for the four general categories: Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Best New Artist and Record of the Year.[3]
Eleven of the thirteen awarded songs have also earned the Latin Grammy for Song of the Year, which unlike this category, is given to the songwriters.[2] The exceptions to this were in 2000, 2009, 2013 and 2014 when "Dímelo" by Marc Anthony, "Aquí Estoy Yo" by Luis Fonsi featuring David Bisbal, Noel Schajris and Aleks Syntek, "Volví a Nacer" by Carlos Vives, and "Bailando" by Enrique Iglesias featuring Descemer Bueno and Gente De Zona, respectively, received the Song of the Year award without earning Record of the Year.
Alejandro Sanz has won the most awards in the category with five wins out of nine nominations, including the award received for "La Tortura", his collaboration with Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. Sanz is followed by Juanes with two winning songs, "Es Por Ti" and "Me Enamora". "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin is the only song to be nominated for this award in its Spanish-language version and to receive the same distinction for the English language version at the 42nd Grammy Awards.[4] Most nominated songs were recorded in Spanish language, though "Esperando Na Janela" by Gilberto Gil, "Ja Sei Namorar" by Tribalistas, "A Festa" by Maria Rita, "Dois Rios" by Skank, "Arlequim Desconhecido" by Ivan Lins and The Metropole Orchestra, "Tua" by Maria Bethânia, "Atrás de Porta" by Ivete Sangalo and "Um Abraçaço" by Caetano Veloso, recorded in Portuguese language, were also nominated.
Colombian singer-songwriter Carlos Vives is the most nominated performer without a win, with five unsuccessful nominations. Rafael Arcaute, Gustavo Santaolalla and Lulo Pérez are the most awarded producers, with two wins, while Benny Faccone, Anibal Kerpel and Thom Russo have received the most awards as engineers/mixers, with two each.
