A Latin Grammy Award is an award by The Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences to recognize outstanding achievement in the music industry. The Latin Grammy honors works produced anywhere around the world that were recorded in either Spanish or Portuguese and is awarded in the United States. However, both awards have similar nominating and voting processes, in which the selections are decided by peers within the music industry.
The first annual Latin Grammys ceremony was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on September 13, 2000. Broadcast by CBS, that first ceremony became the first primarily Spanish language primetime program carried on an English-language American television network.
The 13th Annual Latin Grammy Awards were held on November 15, 2012 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas,Nevada.
