The Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso album that won Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album at the 2026 Grammys was Papota.
The Argentine duo won the award at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, held on February 1, 2026, at Los Angeles’s Crypto.com Arena. Papota was competing against albums including Aterciopelados’ Genes Rebeldes, Bomba Estéreo and Rawayana’s Astropical, and Fito Páez’s Novela.
The category honors albums in the broad Latin rock and Latin alternative field. Its name has changed over time: it was previously called Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album before the category was streamlined. That history can make older lists look different from the 2026 nomination and winner lists.
Papota is also associated with the duo’s growing international profile after their 2024 breakthrough album, Baño María. A common mix-up is confusing this Grammy category with the Latin Grammy award for Best Alternative Music Album, which Papota also won at the 2025 Latin Grammys.
