The Latin Grammy awards ceremony is just around the corner and expectations are on the rise. There are several categories that look quite interesting like the case of Best Salsa Album. This year, a female artist is challenging established artists Marc Anthony and Tito Nieves in a category for a genre historically dominated by men.

This one is huge and well-deserved! Shakira may be a three-time current Latin Grammy nominee, but now she is also being honored as the 2011 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year. Source
