Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Solo Vocal Album
Encyclopedia
The Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Solo Vocal Album is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony conducted by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences
to "recognize excellence and create a wider awareness of the cultural diversity" and contributions of Latin recording artists in the United States and internationally. The award is given to the performers of vocal or instrumental albums containing at least 51% of newly recorded material. The award was first presented at the 2nd Latin Grammy Awards
, since the previous year in the rock field the categories were separated by gender (Female and Male Rock Vocal Performance), ensembles (Rock Duo/Group with Vocal) and an additional award for Best Rock Album
. At the Latin Grammy Awards of 2010
two Rock categories were presented, Rock Album and Best Rock Song
. No information was released regarding the absence or possible withdrawal of the Best Rock Solo Vocal Album category.
Argentinian artists have won the award more times than any other nationality, though award-winning albums have also been performed by musicians originating from Colombia, Mexico and the United States. Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes
has won the most awards in the category with three wins out of the same number of nominations; his album Un Día Normal
was also the recipient of the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year
.
Mexican performers Alejandra Guzmán
and Julieta Venegas
