Magín Díaz (Colombia, b. 30 December 1922) won a Latin Grammy for Best Recording Package for the album El Orisha de la Rosa at the age of 94 years 321 days. Díaz was honoured at the 18th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, staged at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on 16 November 2017.
Díaz was credited alongside art directors Carlos Dussán, Juliana Jaramillo, Juan Felipe Martínez and Claudio Roncoli.
Díaz was also nominated for Best Folk Album but lost out to Mexican singer Natalia Lafourcade's album Musas.
The 18-track El Orisha de la Rosa, Díaz's first solo album, includes "Rosa", featuring Carlos Vives and Totó la Momposina, and "Me Amarás", a collaboration with Monsieur Periné.
"Singing for me is as if someone injected me with life. If I do not sing, I'd die." – Magín Díaz.
The Latin Grammy Awards were inaugurated in 2000 and the US-based event honours music recorded in either Spanish or Portuguese.
