In 1997 the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences created the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences as a response to the booming Latin American music industry. Recordings eligible for the Latin Grammys may be released anywhere in the world, but they must be recorded in the Spanish or Portuguese language. The first Latin Grammy Awards ceremony was held in Los Angeles in 2000, with award winners including Shakira and Carlos Santana.
