Established as the global authority on Latin music, The Latin Recording Academy is dedicated to nurturing, celebrating, honoring and elevating Latin music and its creators.
Membership
Latin Academy membership is composed of musicians, songwriters, producers and other creative and technical music professionals specializing in Latin genres. Today, there are more than 4,000 Latin Academy members representing approximately 34 countries.
Celebration
The Latin Recording Academy honors excellence in the recording arts and sciences through the Latin GRAMMY Awards, celebrates a notable Latin recording artist through its Person of the Year gala and acknowledges the careers of legendary music creators with a Special Awards ceremony honoring Lifetime Achievement and Trustees Award recipients.
