Latin Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video


The Latin Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes excellence and creates a wider awareness of cultural diversity and contributions of Latin recording artists in the United States and internationally. The award has been given since the 1st Latin Grammy Awards in 2000 to artists, directors and producers of an individual promotional music video released for the first time during the award eligibility year.
"No Me Dejes de Querer", performed by Gloria Estefan and directed by Emilio Estefan, was the first music video to be awarded. They were followed by Ricky Martin for the video "She Bangs". Shakira's "Suerte" was also awarded, and the recipient of the first Video of the Year award at the MTV Video Music Awards Latinoamérica. The English-language version of the video received four nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards of 2002. The music video for the bilingual track "Frijolero" by Mexican band Molotov, that employs animation software previously developed by the directors Jason Archer and Paul Beck for the American film Waking Life, received the award in 2003.
Puerto-Rican band Calle 13 holds the record for the most wins as a performer in this category with four, "Atrévete-te-te", "La Perla", "Calma Pueblo" and "Ojos Color Sol". Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes has been awarded three times for the music videos for "Volverte a Ver", "Me Enamora", and "Pa'Dentro". Gabriel Coss holds the record for the most wins as a director, with a total of two. Guatemalan singer Ricardo Arjona and Argentinean band Babasónicos hold the record for the most nominations without a win, with three each.
