Vorlage:Infobox award The Grammy Award for Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album was an honor presented to recording artists at the 50th, 51st, 52nd and 53rd Grammy Awards (2008–2011) for quality zydeco or cajun music albums. The Grammy Awards, an annual ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards,[1] are presented by 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]

In 2011, the Recording Academy announced the retirement of the award category. Beginning in 2012, zydeco or cajun recordings will be eligible for the Best Regional Roots Music Album category.

Background

According to Cody Daigle of The Daily Advertiser, advocates lobbied for nearly seven years in an attempt to create a Grammy category specifically for zydeco and cajun music.[3] Prior to the Best Zydeco or Cajun Music category, works in the genre competed in the Traditional Folk or Contemporary Folk categories.[4] In 2011, the category Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album was eliminated along with thirty others due to a major overhaul by the Recording Academy. Four additional categories in the American Roots Music field were eliminated.[3] Zydeco and cajun works will now be eligible for the Best Regional Roots Music Album category.
