This time around singer songwriter MONICA GIRALDO is up for Best New Artist. Her breakthrough album TODO DA VUELTAS is getting rave reviews for its original and fresh style, which combines pop and jazz with traditional Latin instrumentation. She has been compared to a Spanish language Norah Jones.

For the Best Salsa Album category, CODISCOS / TROPISOUNDS have both GRUPO GALE "Auténtico" and MAELO RUIZ with "Puro corazón". MAELO RUIZ has been all over tropical radio with his hits "Te va a doler" and "Culpable o no".

And for the Best Cumbia Vallenato Album, the label repeats its dominance in the category with 3 nominations out of the 5 entries. This time around the albums nominated for Best Cumbia Vallenato are PETER MANJARRES' "Solo Clásicos", EMILIANO & TOBA ZULETA with "Palabra de honor", and EL COMBO DE LAS ESTRELLAS with "Somos la esencia".

"Needless to say, we are ecstatic with all these nominations," said Dennis Murcia, International A&R (Artist and repertoire) for the record label. "In 2007 we had 6 nominations and brought 2 Latin Grammy's home. This year, it is incredible to have the same amount of nominations. We are also participating in different categories, which mirror the diversity of our artist roster. CODISCOS / TROPISOUNDS is an independent label with major label ambitions, and our teamwork and focus on talent are showing good results. Our label has had a lot of important achievements this year, and this is definitely a high point. Even though the industry is going through a transitional and some times difficult period at the present time, the one thing that won't change is that people will always want great music. The Latin Grammy nominations are very important, because it is our music industry peers who are giving us the recognition for putting out great artists. The Grammy's are probably the most credible organization in the music industry, so getting these 6 nominations is a prize in itself."

CODISCOS / TROPISOUNDS albums are available nationwide, distributed by IDN, the Innovative Distribution Network. All these albums are also available on iTunes.
