Grammy Award for Best Global Music Album

[1] Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".[5] Beginning in 2001, award recipients included the producers, engineers, and/or mixers associated with the nominated work in addition to the recording artists.[6] In 2020, The Recording Academy announced it would be changing the name of the category to Best Global Music Album.The second group to win most often is Ladysmith Black Mambazo,[9] who have won four times during the combined history of Global/World categories.[10] In the single merged category, Ravi Shankar and Ry Cooder have both won twice.
