From idea to legacy: Ricky_Martin, EmilioEstefanJr, Gabriel Abaroa Jr. on the LatinGrammys 20th anniversary
Martin’s voice, moves and charisma so captivated the audience that a phenomenon the press called the “Latin Pop Explosion” ensued.
“Because of the success of that evening, it was a green light to now start celebrating the Latin Grammys,” Martin adds. Recalling proposing that Martin perform at the 1999 Grammys, Estefan says: “It was difficult to get people to [include us], and to tell them ‘Let’s putTwenty years later, as the Latin Grammys are set for Nov. 14, Estefan says he approves of how far the Latin Recording Academy has come. “We are in good hands, and we are lucky and blessed that we can do this and build bridges with music.”
“We do other events, like our Latin Grammys in the Schools, where artists talk to students on the importance of reading, studying, being disciplined and pursuing music as a career, or events where an artist is interviewed,” Abaroa says. “With tickets at $1,000 per person, we collect funds for scholarships that our organization gives out every year.”
Other programs the organization is involved with include the Latin Recording Academy Producers and Engineers Circle, the Leading Ladies of Entertainment, the Special Awards Presentation and the Person of the Year Ceremony, where a musician is recognized and awarded for their artistic achievement and support of up-and-coming artists as well as their philanthropy.
