Austin-based Latin funk orchestra Grupo Fantasma are one of their hometown's proudest musical exports. Formed via the condensation of members from two former bands in 2001, they grew from a biweekly local gig to earning their first GRAMMY nomination for Best Latin Rock Or Alternative Album for Sonidos Gold at the 51st GRAMMY Awards to earning their first GRAMMY in the same category for El Existential just two years later at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards.
