The Grammy Award for Best Música Urbana Album is an honor presented to recording artists for quality vocal or instrumental Latin urban albums at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards.[1] Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the Recording Academy 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".[2] Bad Bunny was the inaugural winner of this category thanks to his 2020 album El Último Tour Del Mundo.[3]
