K'naan is awesome and completely deserves the award.
His album The Dusty Food Philosopher is a breath of fresh air in the polluted world of hip hop.
The winner for the Americas category is Gogol Bordello. Their new album Gypsy Punks sounds (to me anyways) like a more frantic while less Latino Manu Chao. If that doesn't sell you on it then you should load up your ipod with nothing but Manu Chao for a week, and then load up on Gogol Bordello for the next week. BAM! Two weeks of contempo-folk-world-punk will make you see the light and sell your crappy major-label hard rock to 12 year olds on craigslist for just enough money to buy a bottle of rum and a couple o cd's at scratch.
More fun than a barrel of baby red-pandas with sweet ass mohawks wearing plaid zoot-suits.
