Grammy Award

The Latin Grammy Awards were launched in 2000 with a telecast aired on CBS. It was the first primarily Spanish language prime-time program carried on an American network television. Like the Grammy Awards, the Latin Grammys recognize artistic and technical excellence in the recording arts and sciences by peer vote (the Latin Grammy Awards Process). It has already come to represent the height of achievement in Latin music recording.

The 7th Annual Latin Grammy Awards were held at Madison Square Garden in New York City on November 2, 2006. This was the first time the award show was held in New York. Shakira was the night's big winner, winning five awards. She is the first Female Recording Artist to win Album of the Year. The show has previously been held in Los Angeles and Miami. It was aired on Univision at 8:00PM ET.
