**MIAMI (JUNE 3, 2025)** – The Latin Recording Academy® announced that **Raphael** will be the 2025 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year™.

Raphael will be honored for his more than six-decade career as a multifaceted singer and performer, which has established him as a true ambassador of Latin music worldwide. The artist will be celebrated at a special gala featuring a heartfelt tribute concert with renditions of his renowned repertoire, performed by a star-studded lineup of singers and friends. The gala is set to take place on November 12 in Las Vegas during Latin GRAMMY® Week.

“We feel tremendously proud to pay this well-deserved tribute to Raphael for an exemplary artistic career that has transcended borders and languages,” said **Manuel Abud**, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy. “His unmistakable style, resilience, and constant reinvention have kept him relevant throughout the decades, making him a source of inspiration for new generations of Latin music creators.”

“I feel deeply grateful to The Latin Recording Academy for this recognition that I have dreamed of receiving for many years. Being named Person of the Year thrills me immensely; it's the best way to celebrate so many years of dedication and love for music,” said **Raphael**. “Thank you to the audiences that have always stood by my side, to my dear colleagues, and the entire music industry. It's an honor I will always carry in my heart. I look forward to reuniting with everyone in November to celebrate together and give back all that affection through songs. A huge hug and my most sincere gratitude.”

Rafael Martos, known artistically as Raphael, was born in Linares, Spain, in 1943. Raised in Madrid, he discovered his passion at the age of four, and at nine he won the Best Child Voice in Europe award at the prestigious Salzburg Festival. He achieved international recognition after representing Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest with “Yo Soy Aquél” (1966) and “Hablemos Del Amor” (1967), and performing on the legendary *The* *Ed Sullivan Show* in 1970, among other highly acclaimed programs. His musical impact was complemented by a successful film career, appearing in movies like *Al Ponerse El Sol* (Mario Camus, 1967), *El Golfo* (Vicente Escrivá, 1969), and *Mi Gran Noche* (Álex de la Iglesia, 2015). With an extraordinary voice and a distinctive performing style, Raphael pioneered the internationalization of melodic songs. He has performed remarkable works written specifically for him by renowned songwriters like Manuel Alejandro and José Luis Perales, with hits such as “Digan Lo Que Digan”, “Qué Sabe Nadie” or “Escándalo”. He has performed at renowned venues like Madison Square Garden, the Olympia in Paris and the National Auditorium in Mexico. Throughout his career, Raphael has shown an impressive ability to evolve while staying true to a style that reflects his unique identity. In recent years he has released albums such as *Victoria* and his most recent *Ayer...Aún,* which includes a posthumous duet with Édith Piaf, his great reference. He has also been the subject of the documentary *Raphaelismo*, an intimate look at his life and career. After overcoming a brain lymphoma diagnosed at the end of 2024, he announced his return to the stage this year with *Raphaelísimo*, a new tour that will take him across Spain and Latin America. At 82, Raphael continues to sell out theaters, arenas, and stadiums with the same passion as on day one, and his influence has inspired numerous music creators worldwide.

The Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year honors musicians and their artistic achievements in the Latin music industry, as well as their humanitarian efforts. The past honorees are **Carlos Vives** (2024), **Laura Pausini** (2023), **Marco Antonio Solís** (2022), **Rubén Blades** (2021), **Juanes** (2019), **Maná** (2018), **Alejandro Sanz** (2017), **Marc Anthony** (2016), **Roberto Carlos** (2015), **Joan Manuel Serrat** (2014), **Miguel Bosé** (2013), **Caetano Veloso** (2012), **Shakira** (2011), **Plácido Domingo** (2010), **Juan Gabriel** (2009), **Gloria Estefan** (2008), **Juan Luis Guerra** (2007), **Ricky Martin** (2006), **José José** (2005), **Carlos Santana** (2004), **Gilberto Gil** (2003), **Vicente Fernández** (2002), **Julio Iglesias** (2001) and **Emilio Estefan** (2000).

Net proceeds from The Latin Academy Person of the Year Gala will go toward the charitable work of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation.
