The Grammy Award for Best Banda Album was an award presented at the

National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences 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]

The award was first presented to

Zayda Y Los Culpables, Los Conde trumpet player Jose Luis Aquino was found dead. In December 2007, Grammy organizers announced that Gomez along with singer Valentín Elizalde, who was killed in November 2006, were nominated for awards.[3] Categorized under the Latin field, the award is presented for vocal or instrumental banda albums.[4]
As of 2011, Sebastian is the only artist to win the award more than once. The award has been presented to artists or groups originating from Mexico each year to date.

The award was discontinued in 2012 due to a major overhaul of Grammy categories. The Best Banda Album category merged with the

Best Banda or Norteño Album
category.
