Letošní cenu Grammy za nejlepší reggae album získala deska Colours Of Royal Juliana Marleyho a Antaeuse!
Moderátorka Patti Austin vyhlásila vítěze během slavnostního předávání 66. výročních cen Grammy v neděli 5. února 2024 v Peacock Theatre v Los Angeles.
Album Colours Of Royal vyhrálo nad Born for Greatness od Buju Bantona, Simma od Beenie Mana, Cali Roots Riddim 2023 od Collie Buddze a No Destroyer od Burning Speara.
Protože Julian Marley je momentálně na turné po Austrálii a nemohl se ceremoniálu zúčastnit, cenu převzal „pouze“ producent řeckého původu Alexx Antaeus. Antaeus vyjádřil vděčnost a poděkoval akademii, jejím členům, své matce a manželce Haně a vítězství věnoval lidu Jamajky.
“And I’d like to dedicate this to the people of Jamaica, who have accepted me as one of their own. And they have lived up to the motto of the country, ‘Out of many, One,’” řekl.
Požadavky na nominování desky do soutěže:
„Aby bylo možné nahrávku považovat za album, musí obsahovat nejméně pět různých skladeb a celková doba musí být minimálně 15 minut nebo celková stopáž nahrávky je alespoň 30 minut a pak bez minimálního požadavku na počet skladeb.“
