MIAMI (OCTOBER 2, 2025) — The Latin Recording Academy® announced that Leticia Maldonado has been selected as the official artist of the 26th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards®.

Maldonado is a Mexican American multimedia sculptor who drew inspiration from the iconic neon signs of Las Vegas to create a three-dimensional luminous glass gramophone surrounded by colorful flowers.

“My personal connection to Latin music is through my grandmother who was a Mariachi singer in her youth,” said Maldonado. “I chose roses to flank the gramophone because to me they are a symbol of love and compassion, and they honor truth and beauty in art, which I believe is the spirit of the Latin GRAMMYs®.”

Having spent her formative years in the desert outskirts of Las Vegas, Maldonado found a passion for nature at an early age. Art has always served the purpose of connection in her life, both to herself through process and to strangers through the exhibitions that she has been a part of, including the She Bends collective, a traveling exhibition of all female identifying benders working in neon, and Construyendo Puentes, a show of Chicano artists from Los Angeles which travelled throughout México.

"As Latin music continues to grow and evolve, its essence remains an inspiration for creators of all backgrounds and mediums," said Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy. "Leticia’s sculpture highlights the special connection between music and the visual arts, and celebrates the creativity of a new generation of artists."

Since 2001, The Latin Recording Academy has selected a visual artist to convey the importance of music in Latin culture, bridging the gap between these two art forms. Maldonado becomes the 26th visual artist to do so, joining a long-standing tradition shaped by internationally acclaimed artists.

The 26th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards will air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Thursday, Nov. 13. The three-hour telecast will be produced by TelevisaUnivision, the leading Spanish-language media company in the world, airing across TelevisaUnivision’s U.S. platforms, beginning at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. Central), preceded by a one-hour pre-show starting at 7 p.m. ET/PT (6 p.m. Central).

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.
