The Grammys Changed The Name Of The 'World Music' Category

The Recording Academy has renamed the Grammy category from 'Best World Music Album' to 'Best Global Music Album' to move away from colonial connotations. This decision was made after consulting with artists, ethnomusicologists, and linguists. The change aligns with similar updates in the entertainment industry, such as the Oscars renaming 'Best Foreign Language Film' to 'Best International Film'. The 2020 Grammy nominations with the new category name will be announced on November 24th.
