The Latin Grammy Award for Best Folk Album is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes excellence and creates a wider awareness of cultural diversity and contributions of Latin recording artists in the United States and internationally.[1] The award goes to solo artists, duos, or groups for releasing vocal or instrumental albums containing at least 51% of new recordings.[2]

The award was first presented to Argentine singer Mercedes Sosa for the album Misa Criolla at the 1st Latin Grammy Awards ceremony in 2000.[3] She also happens to be the most nominated and awarded performer in this category with five accolades. Her album Cantora 1 became the first folk album to be nominated for Album of the Year in 2009 but lost to Calle 13's Los de atrás vienen conmigo.[4] In 2011 she became the first artist to receive this award posthumously for the album Deja La Vida Volar.[5]

On the other hand, Peruvian singer Eva Ayllón holds the record for most nominations without a win with ten.[6] Musicians originating from Argentina and Colombia have received this award more times than any other nationality winning on four and two occasions respectively.
