The Grammy Awards take place on Sunday, and even though separate awards for less commercial world-music related genres (Hawaiian, zydeco, Cajun, native American, Latin jazz, traditional world music, traditional folk, traditional gospel, and contemporary folk) have been eliminated, there are still a number of categories featuring world music.
Check them out, below, and then come back Monday to see who won.
Better still, join us for CBC Music's Grammys Live Chat, 7:00 p.m. ET (4:00 p.m. PT). Our panel will provide the play-by-play and witty repartee, but we hope you'll post your comments and opinions of the show as well.
Meanwhile, anyone care to make some Grammy predictions?
