MIAMI (OCTOBER 18, 2022) — The Latin Recording Academy^® announced today that it will hold an acoustic concert in Madrid on October 26 to celebrate all Nominees for the 23^rd Annual Latin GRAMMY^® Awards.

The private concert will feature Becky G,  nominated in five categories this year (Recording Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Urban/Fusion Performance, Best Urban Song), along with special guest Daviles de Novelda, with whom she will perform their new single, “Amantes.” In addition, Best New Artist nominee Pol Granch will also take The Latin Academy’s stage for the first time.

The event — to be held in the iconic Las Ventas bull ring — includes performances of songs chosen by the artists, as well as unpublished collaborations, duets and narrations, with the dramatic backdrop of the historic venue and production by BCA Music.

“With our Latin GRAMMY Acoustic Sessions, we seek to open spaces for the new generation of music creators in an organic and inclusive way. We are very excited to be able to celebrate in Madrid on our road to the 23^rd Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards,” said Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy.

The Latin Recording Academy is proud of this special presentation in Spain, made possible by the Community of Madrid, which seeks to attract tourism by consolidating the region’s status as a highlight on the cultural and musical panorama. The event’s official airline, Air Europa, helps bring the Spanish-speaking worlds together with one of the European continent’s most modern and sustainable fleets. With the support from the Official Travel Agency, Úbico Corporate Mobility, the Academy is offering exclusive and highly personalized travel, lodging and transfers for artists and selected guests.

The Latin GRAMMY® Acoustic Sessions offer intimate musical experiences where artists present their own songs through a personal narrative. In addition to showcasing established performers, they aim to promote the new generation of up-and-coming talent, with a special focus on diversity and equality within each genre.

Last July, the Latin Recording Academy kicked off the 2022 Latin GRAMMY^® Acoustic Sessions with an online concert from Mexico City featuring Latin GRAMMY nominee El Fantasma accompanied by Latin GRAMMY winners Los Dos Carnales and Latin GRAMMY winner and GRAMMY^® nominee Lupita Infante. In addition, the Latin Academy recorded a second online concert in Sao Paulo with Latin GRAMMY nominees Giulia Be, Luísa Sonza and Paula Lima[SC1]  alongside Manu Gavassi and  Agnes Nunes, which included classic songs from legendary singer/songwriter Rita Lee, who will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award this November during Latin GRAMMY Week in Las Vegas.

Treslúce is inspired by Becky’s Mexican heritage and seeks to celebrate all Latinx cultures.

ABOUT POL GRANCH: 

That intangible something that distinguishes the great from the merely good? Paul Granch has it in spades. Coupled with a stunning ability to fascinate himself and fascinate others, he has gone in record time from promising youngster to up-and-coming talent and from there to the undeniable star that he is today. His 23^rd Annual Latin GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist confirms it: Granch is here to stay.

His experiences as a Latin Recording Academy nominee are testament of Granch’s talent as an international revelation, as he has already confirmed on the other side of the Atlantic. The Madrid resident has a gift, a gift that is manifested in a style at once varied and deeply personal, completely recognizable. That of a genuinely unique artist.

The essence of those achievements is distilled in the diary that makes up Amor escupido, his second album. What’s new about Granch is a merry-go-round of passion and a coded autobiography of desire; a catalog of emotions, unease and doubts that establish him as a fascinating talent.

It’s an album full of drama and disquiet, with a title that refers to the arrows of passion that are his songs: arrows tossed by a young man ridden by doubt who discovers falling in and out of love in all its fullness. “It’s a kind of first-person story of someone looking for what he feels,” the singer and songwriter notes.

When you add to all that baggage the passion he invests in his music, the greatest of his devotions, although not the only one (his actor side is well known), the result is measured in landmarks like those achieved over the last few years or that Latin GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist.

With Amor escupido, Granch has earned the right to believe that all your wishes may come true.

ABOUT DAVILES DE NOVELDA:

Daviles de Novelda is the first Spanish artist to hit  No. 1 in YouTube videos and songs simultaneously, making history on the platform thanks to his multiplatinum solo hit “Flamenco y Bachata,” which has amassed more than 114 million streams worldwide, making it the most-viewed video in 2021. He has become one of the most prominent exponents of urban new wave and as the force behind “Flamencotón” – one of the hottest genres in Spain – alongside the prominent presence of big names such as Omar Montes, with whom he has penned high-impact hits, including “Risueña.” And that is not his only high-level collaboration, from C. Tangana and his invitation to participate in “La Culpa” to “Amantes,” which he and U.S. artist Becky G released together last September, and “La Musquita,” which Daviles signed as the summer single alongside famous Colombian duo Cali & El Dandee.

Born in Novelda, a small town in the province of Alicante, and after a decade of teaching himself music, he had his first YouTube hit at 16 with “Yo Soy De Los Fernández” (2016), a freestyle that started climbing the charts without warning. That was when his career took off with hits such as “La Calles de Oro” (44 million) and with his participation in the remake of the Los Chuches’ mythical “Como Ronea” (31 million). His success continues with a long list of hits, including “Dime” (22 million). With each release, he shows an innate versatility as he combines his flamenco purity with rhythms like reggaetón or rap without sacrificing a mainstream vision.

Winner of the Odeón Prize for best urban song, his next releases provide even more proof that there are no limits in his musical universe.

This year’s honorees include Susana Baca, Enrique Bunbury, Ivan Lins, Pandora,

Eric Schilling and Olga Tañón

MIAMI (AUGUST 7, 2025) — The Latin Recording Academy® announced today that Susana Baca, Enrique Bunbury, Ivan Lins, Pandora and Olga Tañón will receive this year's Lifetime Achievement Award, as part of its annual Special Awards Presentation. Additionally, Eric Schilling will receive the Trustees Award. The first recipient of the Latin Music Educator Award will also be recognized during the ceremony.

“It is an immense privilege to honor these musical legends—who continue redefining our Latin music and heritage—as well as our inaugural Latin Music Educator Award recipient,” said Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy. “We look forward to celebrating them all as part of our 26th Annual Latin GRAMMY® Week festivities.”

The Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to performers who have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to Latin music and its communities. The Trustees Award is bestowed on individuals who have made significant contributions to Latin music during their careers in ways other than performance. Both distinctions are voted on by The Latin Recording Academy's Board of Trustees.

The Latin Music Educator Award is a new distinction, in partnership with the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation®, that recognizes one exceptional educator from the global music community who is making a significant impact by incorporating Latin music into their curriculum. Additionally, the recipient’s school music program will receive a $10,000 instrument donation to support continued music education.

The honorees will be celebrated during a private event, presented for the second consecutive year by Windstar Cruises, on Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025, in Las Vegas.

2025 Lifetime Achievement Award Honorees:

Susana Baca (Peru)

Throughout a distinguished career that spans decades, Susana Baca has investigated, cherished and safeguarded the once forgotten traditions of Afro-Peruvian music. A luminous performer — and three-time Latin GRAMMY winner and GRAMMY nominee — she belongs in the same exclusive group of folk songstresses as Mercedes Sosa and Violeta Parra. Born in 1944, Susana Esther Baca de la Colina grew up in Lima, surrounded by music. She initially worked as a schoolteacher, then began traveling across the Peruvian coastline with her husband, Ricardo Pereira, studying the country’s Black culture. By the mid-‘90s, her exquisite recording of the Chabuca Granda gem “María Landó” had established her as a global diva, igniting a growing interest in the Afro-Peruvian genre. In 2020, Baca demonstrated the purity of her vision with A Capella, a stunning solo session. She continues touring and recording to this day.

Enrique Bunbury (Spain)

Pioneering, musically omnivorous and intensely poetic, Enrique Bunbury is not only one of the most visionary rock stars ever to emerge from Spain, but also a 21st century master when it comes to crafting transcendent songs in the Spanish language. Born in Zaragoza in 1967, Enrique Ortiz de Landázuri Izarduy gained fame between the late ‘80s and the early ‘90s as the vocalist for the band Héroes del Silencio. But it was his solo output — beginning with classic albums like 1999’s Pequeño and 2002’s Flamingos — that found him developing a wondrous sound nourished by the reckless passion of Latin American folklore and the chiaroscuro shades of cabaret music. A live performer of hypnotic bravado, the Latin GRAMMY winner has continued to expand his stark aesthetic on memorable LPs like 2023’s Greta Garbo and 2025’s Cuentas Pendientes.

Ivan Lins (Brazil)

The creator of such timeless Brazilian anthems as “Madalena” and “Começar de Novo,” Ivan Lins is a keyboardist and singer/songwriter of staggering harmonic imagination and melodic genius — a Rio de Janeiro native who began his career under the spell of bossa nova, but quickly took flight and developed a deeply personal, cosmopolitan musical language of his own. Born in 1945, Ivan Guimarães Lins first gained exposure in Brazil during the late ‘60s. Gradually, his songs bewitched several generations of American jazz stars, from Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan to Quincy Jones and Michael Bublé. With over 800 compositions to his credit, the prolific Lins has been releasing new records from the ‘70s to the present. He is a two-time GRAMMY nominee and has won multiple Latin GRAMMYs, including Album Of The Year in 2005 for Cantando Histórias, a soulful retrospective live session.

Pandora (Mexico)

The landscape of Latin pop was forever transformed in 1985 when Mexican vocal trio Pandora released “Cómo Te Va Mi Amor,” the first of many international hit singles. It wasn’t only the song’s opening sax line, supple backbeat and sweet keyboard lines that captured the public’s imagination. There was also an air of hope and everlasting romance in the vocalizing of the band’s stars: sisters Isabel and Mayte Lascurain, and Fernanda Meade. Pandora’s now-legendary, self-titled debut was only the beginning. The GRAMMY nominees have collaborated with such musical legends as Armando Manzanero and Frank Sinatra, Julie Andrews and Luis Miguel. In 2019, Más Pandora Que Nunca expanded the trio’s repertoire with a number of stellar duets. Still going strong, Pandora is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year with Pandora 40, a new compilation album of their greatest hits from the last four decades, along with an autobiographical tome detailing their personal and professional trajectory.

Olga Tañón (Puerto Rico)

One listen of the 1994 mega-hit “Es Mentiroso” is enough to appreciate the inordinate amounts of attitude and swing that Puerto Rican singer Olga Tañón has brought to merengue — a genre that at the time was predominantly male and confined to the Dominican Republic. But Tañón is much more than a merengue superstar. She has experimented with a multitude of styles, lending her gutsy voice to bachata, salsa and Latin pop. Olga Teresa Tañón Ortiz was born in San Juan in 1967, and kicked off her career as a member of tropical group Chantelle before experiencing massive success on her own. From the vibrant urbano tropical fusion of 2017’s “La Gran Fiesta” to the feverish groove of 2021’s “Mi Forma De Ser,” the multiple Latin GRAMMY and GRAMMY winner continues to shine as a beacon of contemporary merengue music.

2025 Trustees Award Honoree:

Eric Schilling (United States)

The recipient of 12 Latin GRAMMYs and eight GRAMMYs, Eric Schilling is a visionary audio engineer who has shaped and transformed the sound of Latin recordings over the last quarter century. He began his career as a teenager, taping live radio broadcasts by rock legends in the San Francisco Bay area, where he was mentored by Motown veteran Bob Ohlsson. Moving to Florida proved serendipitous, as Schilling established a long-standing creative partnership with Gloria and Emilio Estefan, becoming their engineer of choice on classic albums such as Mi Tierra and 90 Millas. Schilling has also added a sumptuous sheen of audio magic to quintessential 21st century LPs by Shakira, Alejandro Sanz, Thalía, Juan Luis Guerra, Cachao and many others. An expert in engineering major broadcast events, he has also won 8 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Sound Mixing.

Alex Hadad will serve as executive producer of the event, working under the direction of The Latin Recording Academy’s production team led by Ayleen Figueras.

Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2026 inductees and GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® winners Intocable will donate $1 from every ticket sold on their Antología Tour 2025 to support the Foundation

Miami, FL. (July 17, 2025) — GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® winning band and inductees of the Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2026, Intocable, will be donating $1 from every ticket sold during their North American tour, Antología Tour 2025, to benefit the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation®. The donation, which will be collected in at least 18 cities across the United States, will support the Foundation's programs dedicated to promoting music education through scholarships, grants, and other programs focused on supporting the next generation of Latin music creators.

"For us, music has been a way of life. If we can help talented young people receive an education and better opportunities, then each concert will have even more meaning," said Ricky Muñoz, lead vocalist and co-founder of Intocable.

“We are grateful to Intocable for their generosity in providing opportunities for future generations of Latin music creators through this donation,” said Raquel “Rocky” Egusquiza, Executive Director of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. “Their support makes educational opportunities, scholarships, and grants possible for students, and serves as an example and inspiration for young musicians following in their footsteps.”

This important announcement comes after the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced that Intocable, led by Ricky Muñoz and Rene Martínez, will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as part of the illustrious Class of 2026. This prestigious honor places the iconic Tejano/Norteño group among 35 prominent figures in music, film, television, and sports, including Miley Cyrus, Shaquille O’Neal, Demi Moore, among others.

With over three decades of musical trajectory, Intocable has marked a turning point in Latin music, recognized not only for their musical success and international tours, but also for their unique fusion of traditional Mexican sounds and modern narratives. They have also been recognized with multiple GRAMMYs and Latin GRAMMYs, Billboard awards, as well as lifetime achievement honors, celebrating their influence and role in bringing Tejano and Norteño styles to a global audience.

On July 6th, frontman Ricky Muñoz participated as an Honorary Official at the NASCAR Cup Series Chicago Street Race. The event, held in Grant Park, highlighted Intocable's reach and recognition beyond the music world. As Honorary Official of the event, Muñoz lived the NASCAR experience to the fullest and took the opportunity to connect with Daniel Suárez, a Mexican NASCAR national series winner and Intocable fan.
