==History==
[[File:Carlos Santana 2.jpg|right|upright|thumb|alt=A man wearing a grey hat and a green sweater playing the electric guitar.|Mexican guitarist [[Carlos Santana]] won the peer category Best Pop Instrumental Performance for this award in 2000.]]
At the [[Latin Grammy Awards of 2000|first Latin Grammy Awards ceremony]] a category intended for instrumental recordings was presented in the pop field under the name of '''Best Pop Instrumental Performance''' for singles and tracks only. The winner was Mexican guitarist [[Carlos Santana|Santana]] for the song "El Farol", which also happened to win the [[Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance]] that same year, who competed against; [[Raul di Blasio]] for "El Despertar Escandalo", [[Ivan Lins]] for "Dois Córregos", Frankie Marcos featuring [[Arturo Sandoval]] for "Oh Havana, When I Think Of You" and [[Nestor Torres]] for "Luna Latina".<ref name=LatinGrammy2000>{{cite web|url=http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade/miscellaneous-retail-retail-stores-not/4608633-1.html|title=Complete List Of Nominations For First-ever Latin Grammy Awards|publisher=[[AllBusiness.com]]|accessdate=January 28, 2011|date=July 29, 2000}}</ref> The following year a category was created under the name of '''Best Pop Instrumental Album''' now intended for full albums. In 2004 the category was renamed '''Best Instrumental Album''' and moved to the newly created instrumental field which now includes all forms of Latin instrumental music.
