SEVILLA (NOVEMBER 10, 2023) — The Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation® and Laura Pausini, Latin GRAMMY® and GRAMMY® winner and 2023 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year™, came together to celebrate music education with future generations of Latin music creators at the Conservatorio Profesional de Música Francisco Guerrero in Sevilla, Spain.

In addition, for the first time, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport of the Regional Government of Andalucía, with co-financing from European Funds, joins as the official sponsor.

The event was attended by the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sports, Arturo Bernal, and the Minister of Educational Development and Professional Development, Patricia del Pozo Fernández, among other authorities.

As a global champion of music education that empowers communities all over the world through Latin music and culture, the Foundation is proud to bring the Latin GRAMMY in the Schools™ experience to students in Sevilla. The program featured a Q&A session with students moderated by Spanish RTVE reporter Marc Calderó, and featuring Pausini, along with a performance from the students who paid tribute to popular music from the Italian artist. As part of the educational experience, the Foundation provided a donation of musical instruments valued at $20,000 (€18,905) to the conservatory’s music program.

“I am honored to support the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation in its mission to provide educational opportunities that advance Latin music and its heritage,” said Pausini. “Being able to talk about my experiences in this industry with the next generation of creators is fulfilling and I’m grateful to share my music and all my career has taught me, to pave the way forward.”

The Conservatorio Profesional de Música Francisco Guerrero was established more than 35 years ago to elevate the cultural and musical level of Sevilla through quality musical education that enables students to reach their maximum artistic potential. To date, the school has more than 120 teachers and 1,100 students with 17 different instrumental specialties.

“We at the conservatory are very grateful because this donation will help us expand the musical training of our talented youth, of whom we are so proud and who have been represented in this unforgettable encounter today,” said Carmen González González, director of the conservatory. “Thank you to the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation and the Junta de Andalucía for putting the spotlight on this great group of musicians, and for giving us a wonderful experience with the renowned Laura Pausini, which we will never forget.”

“We express our heartfelt gratitude to the Junta de Andalucía for their invaluable partnership,” said Raquel "Rocky" Egusquiza, Executive Director of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation.

“And we also thank Laura Pausini for her unwavering support and generosity,” continued Egusquiza. “Together, we continue to advance our mission of expanding access and opportunities for the next generation of Latin music creators worldwide.”

“Sevilla and Andalucía have become the world capital of Latin music, with all of its nuances, approaches and diversity of styles, among which Flamenco, the hallmark of our land, will be very present,” said Moreno Bonilla.

Latin GRAMMY In The Schools is an educational program that informs and connects music students with professionals in the Latin music industry and supports educational music departments that have financial limitations. The Foundation invites artists and professional musicians to visit middle and high schools, or music education institutions to share their personal stories and experiences with students that highlight the effort it takes to overcome career obstacles. The goal is for students to learn to optimize the educational opportunities presented to them, giving them an advantage and strong academic preparation to be able to compete in the music industry.

The Foundation has donated more than $790,000 in musical instruments to schools throughout the United States and Ibero-America in support of their music education programs. Since 2014, Latin GRAMMY In The Schools has benefited schools in U.S. cities such as Aransas Pass, Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, and New York; as well as internationally in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mexico City, Mexico; Arecibo, Humacao, Yauco, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Previous artists who have participated in the program include: Ángela Aguilar, David Bisbal, Marilina Bertoldi, Miguel Bosé, Calle 13, Pedro Capó, Camilo, Chino & Nacho, Chiquis, Luis Coronel, Silvestre Dangond, Joss Favela, Fonseca, Luis Fonsi, El Fantasma, Becky G, Karol G, Kany García, Gente de Zona, Leslie Grace, Carlos Jean, Jesse & Joy, Natalia Lafourcade, Poncho Lizárraga, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mau y Ricky, Claudia Montero, Ednita Nazario, Christian Nodal, Ángel "Cucco" Peña, Prince Royce, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Olga Tañón, Thalía, Christian Serratos, Diego Torres, Carlos Vives, Wisin, and Sebastián Yatra.

The Latin Recording Academy® Initiatives In Andalucía Generate More Than 195 Million Euros In Three Years

The Latin Recording Academy® Initiatives In Andalucía Generate More Than 195 Million Euros In Three Years

Latin GRAMMYs/Nov 06, 2025 - 02:00 PM

The economic and reputational impact generated since 2023 reaffirms the reach and consolidation of the Latin GRAMMY® brand in Andalucía, Spain

Of the total, 96.3 million Euros came from direct economic impact and 98.7 million Euros from media exposure

In addition, since 2023, the initiatives have generated 7.5 million Euros in public revenue and 1,360 new temporary jobs

MIAMI (NOVEMBER 6, 2025) — The Latin Recording Academy® celebrates the achievements reached in Spain in recent years after making the country a global hub for Latin music. Since the first edition of the Latin GRAMMYs® held outside the United States in 2023, and after three consecutive years of presence in Andalucía, The Latin Academy has generated a total accumulated impact of more than 195 million Euros, according to the latest Economic and Reputational Impact Study conducted between 2023 and 2025 by the company ATREVIA.

This outcome confirms the success of the collaboration agreement between The Latin Recording Academy and the Regional Government of Andalucía, which has enabled the region to establish itself as the international epicenter of Latin music in Europe.

“Our study shows that the direct, indirect and induced economic impact derived from The Latin Recording Academy’s events in Andalucía amounted to 96.3 million Euros, while the reputational impact reached 98.7 million Euros, driven by the project’s international media exposure and its contribution to enhancing the Andalucía brand (83.47 million Euros from advertising impact and 15.2 million Euros from projected future tourism),” stated Manuel Sevillano, Global Director of Reputation and Corporate Social Responsibility at ATREVIA.

“The Latin Recording Academy has strengthened its commitment to Spain and to Andalucía as a strategic platform in Europe for promoting Latin music on an international level. The economic and social impact generated over these three years proves that culture is a driving force for development, talent and opportunity,” said Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy.

The Minister of Tourism and Andalusia Abroad, Arturo Bernal, emphasized that, in addition to the “extraordinary direct impact on the region and the Andalucian economy, these events have also strengthened our presence in the American markets, which are increasingly recognizing our region as a leading destination in Europe and a venue for major events.”

Economic impact: a catalyst for the Andalucía brand

Since the first edition of Latin GRAMMYs held in Seville in 2023 — the first outside the United States in the history of the awards — the project has generated unprecedented visibility for Andalucía as a cultural and musical destination. In 2023, Latin GRAMMY® Week in Seville reached an estimated total impact of more than 186 million Euros, a figure that has continued to grow with the celebration of additional events throughout 2024 and 2025: Latin GRAMMY Celebra: Paco de Lucía, in Cádiz; Latin GRAMMY Sessions: 25 Años and Latin GRAMMY Sessions: Málaga; and Latin GRAMMY Celebra: La Música de Andalucía, in Seville.

The economic impact generated between 2023 and 2025 includes:

  • 96.3 million Euros in economic impact

  • 98.7 million Euros in reputational impact

  • 7.5 million Euros in public revenue impact

  • 1,360 jobs created in total

Beyond the direct economic benefits, the project has energized key sectors such as tourism, hospitality, transportation, audiovisual production and cultural services.

Cultural impact: Spain, the global stage for Latin music

The 24th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards® in 2023 in Seville represented far more than an awards ceremony: it was a meeting of cultures celebrating the diversity, creativity and artistic excellence of Latin music, positioning Andalucía as a global benchmark for music.

The Latin GRAMMY brand brought international visibility to genres such as flamenco, salsa, reggaeton and regional Mexican, strengthening bridges between artists and audiences around the world.

Since then, Spain and Andalucía have emerged as key destinations within the Latin GRAMMY ecosystem, and the partnership between The Latin Recording Academy and the Regional Government of Andalucía has helped solidify the region’s global presence.

By holding events associated with the Latin GRAMMY brand, Spain continues to project contemporary Latin music to new generations of artists and global audiences, reinforcing its role as a cultural bridge between continents.

Social impact: a commitment to talent and culture

Beyond its economic and reputational contributions, The Latin Recording Academy and its Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation have deepened their commitment to fostering emerging talent and music education.

Through programs such as Latin GRAMMY In The Schools, the Prodigy Scholarship, the Gifted Tuition and Tuition Assistance Scholarships, or the recently awarded Paco de Lucía Legacy Scholarship, the Foundation has benefited young Spanish music creators.

In conclusion, The Latin Recording Academy has left a profound mark on the economic, cultural and social fabric of the region, reaffirming its mission to nurture, celebrate, honor and elevate Latin music and its creators.
