The Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Album by a Duo or Group with Vocal 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 of vocal or instrumental albums containing at least 51% of newly recorded material.[2] The award was first presented at the 2nd Latin Grammy Awards, since the previous year in the rock field the categories were awarded to tracks or songs, separated by gender (Female and Male Rock Vocal Performance), ensembles (Rock Duo/Group with Vocal) and an additional award for Best Rock Album.[3] At the Latin Grammy Awards of 2010 two categories were presented, Rock Album and Best Rock Song, without information on the possible withdrawal of the category.[4]

Mexican ensembles have won the award more times than any other nationality, though award-winning albums have also been performed by musicians originating from Chile, Colombia and Panama. Molotov and La Ley has won the most awards in the category with two wins each. Mexican bands Maná and Jaguares received the award and also earned the Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.[5][6] Natalia y La Forquetina, the short-lived band of Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade, is the only band led by a woman to be awarded, they won for the album Casa in 2006.[7] Spanish band Jarabe de Palo is the most nominated ensemble without a win, with three unsuccessful nominations. In 2009, the award was given to Jaguares for the album 45.[8]
