The
Latin Academy of Recording Arts &
Sciences was formed by the National
Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences
in 1997. It was founded by Michael
Greene and Mauricio Abaroa. In 2000,
it was announced that the 1st Annual
Latin Grammy Awards would take place
at the Staples Center on September
13, 2000. On July 7, 2000, the
nominations were announced in Miami.
The first telecast took place at the
Staples Center and was broadcast on
CBS. The following year's show was
canceled due to the September 11,
2001 attacks, which was the same day
the show was to take place. In 2002,
the academy elected its first
independent Board of Trustees. In
2005, the broadcast was moved from
CBS to Univision where the whole
telecast was in Spanish. Voting
members live in various regions in
the US and outside of the US in
regions such as Latin America. To be
eligible a recording must have been
recorded in Spanish or Portuguese.
The eligibility period is July 1 to
June 30 for a respective awards
ceremony. Recording are first
entered and are reviewed to
determine which awards they are
eligible for. Following that
nominating ballots are mailed to
voting member of the academy. The
votes are tabulated and the five
recordings in each category with the
most votes become the nominees.
Final voting ballots are sent to
voting members and the winners are
determined. Winners are later
announced at the Latin Grammy
Awards. The current President & CEO
of the Latin Academy of Recording
Arts & Sciences is Gabriel Abaroa.
