Talk:Latin Grammy Awards

message: I think we should have a section on the history of the Latin Grammys (just basic background info), how it got started, important milestones, etc --Alextwa (talk) 16:06, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: History?

message: In the infobox it says USA for country. The Latin Grammys includes the US, Latin american countries, spain and portugal (countries that speak spanish and portuguese). Should this part of the infobox be changed? --Alextwa (talk) 15:50, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Country

message: I was looking at the chart for awards by country of origin and the numbers for brazil do not seem accurate. There is a Brazilian field at the Latin Grammys and it has quite a few awards. Most of the winners in that field seem to be brazilian. --Alextwa (talk) 23:43, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Awards by country of origin

message: The picture on the main page is of a Grammy Award. A Latin Grammy does not look the same. There is only one difference which is the color of the base. A Grammy has a black base and a Latin Grammy has a redish base. Could we possibly use a picture of an actual Latin Grammy?

message: I don't think COUNTRIES compete on this event, but individuals artist and musical groups. I think the real winners should be placed instead of the missinforming data about countries. --F3rn4nd0 21:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "It was the first primarily Spanish language prime-time program carried on an American network television". (Great paragraph, it deserves a Pullitzer) But... So what the funk Univision and Telemundo are? European?  --Ornitorrinco 15:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Univision and Telemundo are European, that's it!!! 

message: The Latin Grammys represent works of achievement in music of Spanish and Portuguese  speaking artists. However, the term "latin" indicates the language that originated in ancient Rome. When speaking of latin peoples, it refers to people of countries who speak a language that is derived from the original latin. Therefore all Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese speaking artists and countries should be included in the Latin Grammys. "Latin" refers to all people with origins to any of the romance languages listed above. The "Latin Grammy Awards" should come to include Italian and French artists because they too are "Latin" If Italian and French cannot be included, then it has been suggested that the name be changed to "Hispanic Grammy Awards". The misuse of the term "latin" is upsetting to some and has become a rising issue for debate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.120.243.154 (talk) 00:22, August 26, 2007 (UTC) 
:This talk page isn't the place to debate the issue. If, however, you have suggestions of reliable sources to meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability to show that this is a notable controversy, then the discussion becomes germane to the purpose of an article Talk page.

text: Here's a more updated url. Now onto the subject at hand. The LGAs were created because the Latin field on the regular Grammy Awards were too small to encompass the larger Latin music universe (Source). As for why they only cover Spanish- and Portuguese-language music mainly from Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Latino United States (source) is because that's how the Latin music industry always worked. The Latin music industry has always encompassed music in both languages from the aforementioned regions even before the creations of the Latin Recording Academy (here's a 1995 article by Billboard as an example of what I'm talking about). No product that has been recorded entirely in French, Italian, or Romanian from anywhere around the world has ever won or been nominated a Latin music award (and I'm not just talking about the Latin Grammy Awards). Keep in the mind that LARAS, as mentioned on their website, consists of music professionals from the Latin music industry internationally which as I mentioned comprises of those regions I listed.
