Six talented researchers, musicologists, non-profit organizations and educational institutions will receive a total of $60,000 for research and preservation of Latin music, sponsored for the first time by PepsiCo Juntos Crecemos

MIAMI (DECEMBER 19, 2024) — The Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation® announced the six winners of its Latin Music Research and Preservation Grants program. This marks the second time this year that winners have been awarded for this program.

In celebration of the Foundation’s 10th anniversary, and in partnership with PepsiCo Juntos Crecemos, it launched six additional grants increasing the individual grant amounts from $5,000 to $10,000 each, for a total of $60,000 distributed amongst projects for this group.

The program provides grants to educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, musicologists and researchers around the world who are enhancing and preserving Latin music heritage. This year, a diverse array of institutions and scholars will benefit from this support. The six grants are dedicated to a range of initiatives. Research Grants focus on projects that highlight historical and anthropological studies, as well as the documentation of traditions and Latin folklore, while Preservation Grants are designed to fund the archiving and safeguarding of Latin music and its distinctive cultural practices.

“Research and Preservation Grants are essential for preserving the legacy of Latin music and fostering the next generation of creators. We are grateful to PepsiCo Juntos Crecemos for their unwavering support and continued passion to celebrating Latin music and its cultural heritage,” said Raquel “Rocky” Egusquiza, Executive Director of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. “Together, we are able to broaden our reach and provide support to even more deserving projects in alignment with our mission.”

Awarded Research Grants:

Dr. Manuel Sevilla, Colombia – Archivos y festivales: Aprendizajes de dos casos en Colombia (Archives and Festivals: Learnings from Two Cases in Colombia) delves into the rich cultural heritage of Colombia, analyzing innovative practices in archive creation, the roles of key stakeholders, and the ways archives are utilized to strengthen musical ecosystems. This initiative focuses on two celebrated festivals: the Festival de Música del Pacífico Petronio Álvarez (The Pacific Music Festival Petronio Álvarez) in Cali and the Festival de la Leyenda Vallenata (Vallenato Legend Festival) in Valledupar. Both festivals honor musical traditions recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, highlighting their significance in preserving and celebrating Colombia’s vibrant cultural legacy.

Jorge Benavides, Honduras – Dügü Inaudito: Salvaguardia del Legado Ancestral Garífuna (Inaudible Dügü: Safeguarding the Ancestral Garífuna Legacy) is an initiative dedicated to revitalizing the Garífuna language, music, and dance—proudly recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. According to UNESCO, these practices face significant risks due to discrimination and the declining transmission of the Garífuna language. This project, developed in collaboration with Tambor Negro, will document the Dügü, an ancestral ceremony that embodies the essence of Garífuna intangible heritage. The findings will contribute to the broader Indigenous Languages Project led by the CCET and will also be integrated into the MUSIDANSE Institute at the University of Paris 8, ensuring global recognition and preservation of this invaluable cultural legacy.

Caio de Souza, Brazil – Sonic Transductions: Revisiting Lorenzo Dow Turner’s Radioscape in Bahia (1940-1941), an innovative project that seeks to shed light on artistic production, cultural and social fabric, and historical context by bringing to life the groundbreaking recordings made by African-American linguist Lorenzo Dow Turner in Salvador, Bahia, during 1940 and 1941. Through these rediscovered audio treasures, the project will offer fresh perspectives on the artistic production of Bahia’s capital, extending beyond the renowned figures of this pivotal era. The initiative will culminate in a six-episode podcast series, providing an in-depth exploration of these recordings and their enduring significance, inviting listeners to engage with a rich and multifaceted chapter of Brazil’s cultural history.

Awarded Preservation Grants:

Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos, Bolivia – The Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos (OEIN) (Experimental Orchestra of Native Instruments) has launched an ambitious initiative to preserve and celebrate the country’s indigenous musical heritage. Preservación, Digitalización y Geolocalización de los Registros de Música Indígena Boliviana de Alain Thirion (Preservation, Digitization, and Geolocation of Alain Thirion's Records of Bolivian Indigenous Music) focuses on the preservation, digitization, cataloging, and geolocation of a remarkable collection of recordings made by Australian researcher Alain Thirion in the 1990s. These recordings capture the rich musical traditions of various indigenous communities from Bolivia’s highlands and valleys—many of which face the risk of extinction due to migration, generational shifts, and the pressures of globalization. Through this initiative, the OEIN aims to safeguard and share this invaluable cultural legacy with future generations, ensuring it remains a vibrant part of Bolivia’s national identity.

Andrew Skinner, Daniel Zanessi and Antonio Leguiza, together with the Faculty of Arts and Design of the National University of Cuyo, Argentina – The project Creación de "Archivo de Música Cuyana y Popular Argentina" en La Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (Creation of the 'Archive of Cuyana and Popular Argentine Music' at the National University of Cuyo) is focused on establishing the first public archive of Cuyano and Argentine Popular Music. It aims to recover, preserve, and promote a vast collection of musical recordings that are of immense importance to the Cuyano, Argentine, and Latin American cultures. To form the archive, they have based their efforts on the audio collection of the historic Zanessi Studio, culminating years of preservation projects and institutionalizing the care of this valuable material. From this foundation, they are creating a public space where musicians and their families can contribute their materials to this Creative Commons collection, ensuring its preservation at the National University of Cuyo. As a first contribution, they will present the already digitized audio collection as part of the "Zanessi Collection" project, funded by The Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation’s Latin Music Research and Preservation Grant program in 2023. Among the many musical archives, it will include the complete works of Tito Francia, a founding member of the Nueva Canción movement, who collaborated with Mercedes Sosa, Armando Tejada Gómez, Oscar Matus, and revolutionized the aesthetic of Cuyano music, extending his influence across Latin America.

Miguel Díaz y Nicolas Ramirez Salaberry, Paraguay – The Creación de la Fonoteca Memoria Histórica de la Radio Nacional del Paraguay (Creation of the Historical Memory Sound Archive of the National Radio of Paraguay) aims to rescue, safeguard, and promote the preservation of vinyl records from the former radio station's archive. This invaluable collection was discovered during a research project conducted in 2023 by Mg. Nicolás Ramírez Salaberry and Dr. Miguel Díaz Antar, with financial support from the National Secretariat of Culture of Paraguay. Initially, the researchers sought to create an updated inventory of the Radio Nacional del Paraguay's archive for musicological studies. However, they found that no such collection existed. The few remaining and rare records that had survived media changes were scattered and poorly preserved. Through interviews with former staff and directors, it was revealed that much of the archive's material had been looted and disappeared in connection with events surrounding the fall of dictator Alfredo Stroessner in 1989, and the subsequent erasure of files related to the dictatorship. The investigation resulted in the recovery of 120 vinyl records that belonged to the old sound archive and constitute the primary safeguarding material for the current project.

A committee of experts from Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula, and the United States selected the recipients among numerous qualified candidates. Since its inception in 2015, the program has awarded more than $255,000 in grants to support projects, one of which received a Latin GRAMMY® and GRAMMY® Award.
