Countdown to the Latin Grammys : Album of the Year

13:49 H | Topics: Events - Music - New York City

So I still don't have a dress for the big day, the Latin Grammy Awards, but I do have a growing list of musicians I want to see and questions even. For example, have you ever wondered what's the difference is between the catagories Record of the Year and Album of the Year? According to the official Grammy website Record of the year is awarded to the artist and to the producer(s), recording engineer(s) and/or mixer(s) if other than the artist and is for singles only but Album of the Year is awarded to artist(s), and to the album producer(s), recording engineer(s) / mixer(s) & mastering engineer(s) if other than the artist and is for an entire album. The nominees for Album of the Year are.....

Ahi Vamos
Gustavo Cerati

Cautivo
Chayanne

Por Favor, Perdón y Gracias
Leon Gieco

Fijación Oral Vol. 1
Shakira

Sal y Limon
Julieta Venegas

Wow what a mix of artistas and genres no? Again we have Shakira and Julieta up against each other. I'll admit to being a huge Cerati fan musically speaking and a huge Chayanne fan, visually speaking (ay papi). Carlos Ponce is one of the producers on the Chayanne album, so is he wins that could be a double "ay papi" moment on the Madison Square Garden stage next Thursday. And did you know that Gustavo Cerati is one of the producers of Shakira's Fijación Oral Vol. 1? I had no idea!!

So who are you crossing your fingers for?
