Where are all the Latins at the Grammy's

Since everybody beat me to posting about the Haiti election, I'll take this time to fill you in on something interesting I found about latin music in the United States. Apparently, record sales were down overall last year (no big suprise there) but latin music sales were up over 12 percent in the U.S., yet latin music still remains conspicuously absent from the grammy's. In fact, one of the only categories for latin music,the best latin rock, alternative album category, includes pretty much everything from rap to rock to reggaeton. If anyone is interested in reading more about this lack of attention being paid to such an important musical genre by the grammy's go here.
