Making its competitive debut is the Best Global Music category, which honours artists performing non-Western musical genres. If it sounds familiar, you would be right, as it’s essentially a rebranding of the Best World Music Album, which was discontinued in 2020. While it might seem like a simple name change, the Grammy Awards says the new moniker strips the category of any racial undertones. "The change symbolises a departure from the connotations of colonialism, folk and 'non-American' that the former term embodied, while adapting to current listening trends and cultural evolution among the diverse communities it may represent," read a statement.
