The Best New Artist Award winner : for real ! is Mariana Vega a "New" artist ?

It was fun to watch the 15th Annual Award show ! Again, most of the winners are chronic , meaning they have won on several occasions.

The Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist 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, nationally and internationally.The award is given to solo artists or groups that first establish an identity to the public as a performer and release a Spanish or Portuguese language recording during the period of eligibility;

Of interest, this year's trophy was awarded to Mariana Vega.
According to the Latin Grammy definition of Best New Artist, Mariana is not a new artist.

 Mariana Vega started her music carreer in 2008, that is 6 years ago. Sonográfica, a Venezuelan music company put up her album Háblame, which was produced in 2008 by  Sebastián Krys and  Luis Romero; with this album  she obtained  Gold and Platinum Album in  Venezuela.

In 2008,  Mariana was awarded the best new artist price by  Record Report;
In 2010,  Mariana travels to  México, where she is signed by Seitrack; at this time she records her first full album titled  Mariana Vega, produced by Aureo Baqueiro.
During  2011, Mariana produced two new songs, Te Seguir  y Pregúntale por mi, which were broadcasted throughout Venezuelan radio stations.
In  2013, she made a second  álbum titled  Mi Burbuja, also produced by Baqueiro and in 2014 she produced another album titled Te Busco.

Most of the Latin Grammys Best New Artist winners have a "connection" with Warner Music Mexico, and Mariana Vega, like Jesse & Joy, Alexander Acha and Gaby Moreno , is not an exception..

Lets not forget Gabriel Abaroa's little brother, Alejandro, is and has been talent manager at Warner Music Mexico for a longtime. So who is Mr Gabriel Abaroa trying to fool.

Interestingly enough, Mariana is married to the executive VP and general manager of E! Entertainment Television Latin America. Influential ? I believe the answer is yes !

If Mr Abaroa wants to make it right , he should change the definition of Best new artist to:
(humor)

   "The Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes that for the artist  to win he or she needs to sign with  Warner Music Mexico. The award is given to solo artists or groups that first establish a relationship with my brother Alejandro from Warner Music Mexico  during the period of eligibility and obviously, you have to  have a grandfather or husband with influences and  it will work perfectly!"

Again, the Latin Grammy award show and Mr Gabriel Abaroa have a lot to explain !
