Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album

The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States holds an annual ceremony (The Grammy Awards) in order to 

 

"honour artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position" (source Grammy.com )

 
One of the categories is the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album (originally called the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Recording) and was established in 1985. The inaugural winner of this award was Black Uhuru for their album Anthem. Since 1985 the award has been rightly won by many of the reggae greats.
