Nomadica won Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album at the 2026 Grammys.
The Grammy went to Carla Patullo featuring the Scorchio Quartet and Tonality for Nomadica. Although the question asks for the album, the official credit includes the featured performers, so the winning entry is more precisely the album Nomadica by Carla Patullo and her collaborators.
This category has changed names over time. It began in 1987 as Best New Age Recording, became Best New Age Performance from 1988 through 1991, and was called Best New Age Album for much of the period from 1992 onward. The current title, Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album, reflects the broader range of music considered.
Nomadica beat Kuruvinda, According to the Moon, Into the Forest and The Colors in My Mind. The category is not limited to purely electronic ambient music: Grammy descriptions have included instrumental or vocal recordings combining acoustic, electronic, classical, folk and other influences.
