"...Some Louisiana musicians are up in arms over the elimination of the Zydeco and Cajun category...."

"...Bobby Sanabria, a jazz drummer, called the decision “the most blatant example of racism in the history of any arts organization” and “a slap in the face to cultural and musical diversity.”..."

Our bass player is a member of the Academy and is working with Bobby Sanabria on behalf of all of us to right this wrong. We will win this fight and get back our Grammy that took so long for us to get as well as for the other categories that were dissed.
Terrance Simien worked for years to finally get recognition for our music so we all need to get involved. Think of all the musicians who do this full time. A Grammy nomination is huge and translates into income. More and better gigs, record deals, merchandise sales etc. Thanks for posting WF. We need to stay in the loop and make our feelings known.

You all still talking about this?
Just face it, when Chubby won, they finally decided this category was a joke.

Are you a troll? Sure seems that way.

I'll second that...
