Latin Grammy Award for Best Regional Mexican Song
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Latin Grammy Award for Best Regional Mexican Song 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 reserved to the songwriters of a new song containing at least 51% of the lyrics in Spanish. Instrumental recordings or cover songs are not eligible.[2] Since its inception, the award category has had one name change. From 2000 to 2012 the award was known as Best Regional Mexican Song. In 2013, the category name was changed to Best Regional Song. In 2016, the award was changed back to Best Regional Mexican Song.
