SEVILLA (SEPTEMBER 10, 2025) — The Latin Recording Academy® hosted the Latin GRAMMY® Celebra: La Música de Andalucía event in Sevilla, a tribute to some of Andalucía’s most influential artists.

In line with The Latin Academy’s mission to nurture, celebrate, honor and elevate Latin music and its creators, the event recognized artists from Andalucía whose influence has made a lasting impact on Latin music worldwide.

Beyond building bridges between countries, musical genres, and cultures, the evening showcased the influence of unique artists who reflect the rich wealth of musical talent in the region and the diversity of genres that flourish in Andalucía, from traditional flamenco to the most modern expressions of music. Hosted by Latin GRAMMY® winners David Bisbal and Luis Fonsi, the event brought together an impressive array of artists and creators at Sevilla’s Cartuja Center CITE.

Taking audiences on a journey spanning centuries of creativity and innovation, the tribute witnessed unique Latin GRAMMY moments, beginning with a tribute to Enrique Morente, a vital figure in contemporary flamenco who stood out for his ability to unite tradition and avant-garde. The tribute, created by four-time Latin GRAMMY®-winning songwriter and music producer Víctor Martínez, was inspired by Omega, regarded as a masterpiece and the most iconic album of Morente’s career. On stage was his son, Kiki Morente, along with artists who grew up under his influence, such as La Tremendita and Ángeles Toledano. Lagartija Nick and Cañizares, who contributed to the original album production, also performed.

The evening continued with a heartfelt tribute to the region’s legends—immortal artists who form an essential part of the region’s musical history. This segment became a journey through songs that have transcended generations, featuring unique and innovative arrangements that evoke the eternal voice of Rocío Jurado through performances by Ana Torroja, Judeline, and Juliana. Camarón de la Isla’s career was also remembered with performances by Arcángel, Chonchi Heredia, Estopa, Juanma Montoya, and Yerai Cortés. Another honoree was Lola Flores, whose tribute featured special participation from her granddaughters, Alba Flores and Elena Furiase, as presenters, as well as her grandsons, Guillermo Furiase and Pedro Antonio Lazaga, alongside Pastora Soler and María Terremoto, who performed some of her most beloved songs.

The night carried on as a celebration of regional icons—artists who have shaped music from Andalucía and left a lasting impact on it, such as Miguel Ríos, a pioneer of rock in Spain, whose voice was joined on stage by those of Alejandro Lerner, Arde Bogotá, and dancer Lucía Ruibal. Alejandro Sanz’s trajectory was also recognized, featuring performances by Camilo, Evaluna, Joaquina, and Yami Safdie. The segment concluded with an emotional tribute to one of Latin music’s most recognized voices, Joaquín Sabina, remembered through performances by Leiva and Rozalén.

The evening also included a tribute to flamenco, the region’s most iconic and cherished musical genre and an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This tribute came to life through performances by leading figures such as Antonio Rey, Carmen Linares, and Niña Pastori, who expressed the essence, strength, and depth of an art form that remains a symbol of Andalucía’s identity and pride.

The present and future of music from Andalucía were also celebrated during the evening through a tribute to David Bisbal, India Martínez, Manuel Carrasco, and Vanesa Martín—artists who represent the strength, projection, and diversity of a generation of creators destined to continue expanding Andalucía’s musical horizons.

The night continued with a tribute to one of the region’s most prolific songwriters, Manuel Alejandro, whose work has marked generations. His music was performed by Ara Malikian, Luis Fonsi, and Valeria Castro, and it featured a surprise duet by Jeanette and Aitana, who emphasized the relevance and emotion of a repertoire that has become cultural heritage.

The gala concluded with a striking tribute to The Latin Recording Academy’s 2025 Person of the Year, Raphael—a crucial figure in Latin music and an undisputed reference in the music industry. His tribute featured performances by Ana Torroja, Rozalén, and Vanesa Martín, who performed some of his most celebrated songs and highlighted the profound mark his art has left on music.

The evening was attended by institutional personalities, including Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, President of la Junta de Andalucía; José Luis Sanz, Mayor of the city of Sevilla; and Arturo Bernal, Minister of Tourism and Andalucía Exterior of la Junta de Andalucía.

Presented by la Junta de Andalucía and sponsored by the Iberian ham brand Enrique Tomás, the proceeds from the event will support the region’s musical development.

Macarena Moreno and the team from The Latin Recording Academy, led by Ayleen Figueras, oversaw the executive production; Carlos Narea handled the musical production under the direction of Pablo Cebrián.

With this electrifying gathering, The Latin Recording Academy and the Ministry of Tourism and Andalucía Exterior of la Junta de Andalucía close the successful cycle of events that began three years ago in the region.

SEVILLA (SEPTEMBER 9, 2025) — The Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation® awarded the Paco de Lucía Legacy Scholarship to the young flamenco guitarist from Jerez de la Frontera, Marcos Gago Pino, during a press conference in Sevilla, hosted by journalist Verónica Chumillas Martínez. Luis Cobos, chairman of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation’s Board of Directors, Raquel “Rocky” Egusquiza, executive director of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation and Cristóbal Sánchez, Director of the Paco de Lucía Foundation participated in the event. Latin GRAMMY® winner Arcángel and Latin GRAMMY nominee Pastora Soler joined the conference, where they shared words of wisdom and encouragement to the scholarship recipient. The conference also featured the participation of Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy®, and Arturo Bernal, Minister of Tourism and Andalucía Exterior from the Junta de Andalucía.

The scholarship, established in association with the Paco de Lucía Foundation, advances the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation’s mission of supporting and cultivating the next generation of Latin music creators, offering educational opportunities to advance Latin music and its heritage. With a value up to $120,000, the scholarship covers tuition, instrument, classes and complementary formative experiences and wrap-around services provided by the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation, enabling a student to attend the music institution of their choice.

“Paco de Lucía has been and continues to be the most important artist, composer and guitarist of the 20th and 21st centuries. An undisputed genius, pioneer in advancing and evolving flamenco. At our Foundation, we feel deeply proud because with this Legacy Scholarship that we award today we follow the path that Paco started and blazed. We are very proud to continue to foster Spanish talent as well as flamenco studies, which will continue to enrich global music culture and our Latin music,” said Cobos.

“We are proud to award the first Paco de Lucía Legacy Scholarship —honoring the great Andalucian maestro— strengthening the future of Latin music,” said Raquel “Rocky” Egusquiza, executive director of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. “We thank the Paco de Lucia Foundation for their valuable partnership that has made it possible to support young musicians like Marcos.”

“I’m grateful to every person who invested in youth and cultural development, and who allowed me to continue advancing my great passion, which is flamenco,” Gago Pino said. “Thank you very much to the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation and the Paco de Lucía Foundation for this amazing opportunity, which I hope to make the most of at every moment—on my part, I won’t lack the desire or the strength.”

Lucía Sánchez Varela, president of the Paco de Lucía Foundation, congratulated Gago Pino on this deserving support. Additionally, she expressed gratitude to the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation, highlighting that “supporting and training young musicians is an inherent part of the Flamenco Promotion work that our foundation carries out.”

Last year, The Latin Recording Academy, in collaboration with La Junta de Andalucía, hosted the event Latin GRAMMY Celebra: Paco de Lucía in Cádiz, a tribute to the guitarist that featured the presence of the Andalusian maestro’s family. The event was a journey through Paco de Lucía’s life guided by artists and friends who accompanied him during his lifetime, and performed some of his most beloved songs. Part of the proceeds went to the scholarship.

The Paco de Lucía Legacy Scholarship awards a student with extraordinary talent, selected by the Scholarship Committee from the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation, among a large and highly qualified international group of young musicians. Among other things, consideration is given to whether the winner possesses the qualities and determination necessary to succeed in the music world, while also lacking the financial resources to achieve it. To date, the Foundation has awarded 477 scholarships and has invested almost $13.9 million in scholarships, grants, educational programs and mentorships over the last decade.
