For the first time since the Grammy Award category for Best Hawaiian Music Album was eliminated in 2011, two Hawaiian music albums are on the final ballot.

“La La La La,” by Natalie Ai Kamauu, and “Kawaiokalena,” by Keali‘i Reichel, are finalists for Best Regional Roots Music category — a catch-all for Hawaiian, Cajun, Native American, polka and zydeco music after the individual categories were eliminated.

This year’s other three finalists for Best Regional Roots Music are “Go Go Juice,” by Jon Cleary; “Get Ready,” by the Revelers; and “Generations,” by Windwalker and the MCW. Cleary is a New Orleans-based funk and R&B musician. The Revelers are also from Louisiana and play Cajun, zydeco and “swamp pop.” Windwalker and the MCW is a Native American traditional drum performance group.

Reichel was a finalist for Best Hawaiian Music Album in 2005. “Kawaiokalena” won seven Na Hoku Hanohano Awards — including Album of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year — earlier this year.

Rapper Kendrick Lamar leads the 2016 Grammy nominations with 11, including album of the year for “To Pimp a Butterfly” and song of the year for “Alright.”

Lamar is followed by Taylor Swift and the Weeknd, who each earned seven nominations, including album of the year. “Butterfly,” “1989” and “Beauty Behind the Madness” will battle country singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton’s “Traveller” and rock group Alabama Shakes’ “Sound & Color” for the top prize.

Lamar’s “Alright” and Swift’s “Blank Space” are nominated for song of the year. Other nominees include Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s tribute to actor Paul Walker, “See You Again”; Ed Sheeran’s slow burner “Thinking Out Loud”; and Little Big Town’s semicontroversial hit, “Girl Crush,” written by Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey and Liz Rose.

“Thinking Out Loud” and “Blank Space,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, are also nominated for record of the year, pitting the songs against No. 1 hits that include Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” and the Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face,” as well as a wild card: “Really Love” from R&B singer D’Angelo and the Vanguard.

The winners in all 83 categories will be announced Feb. 15 in Los Angeles at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards Show.
