MIAMI (SEPT. 19, 2024) — Today, the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation®, in partnership with Chase, hosted its fifth Educación Financiera financial health education workshop as part of the Latin GRAMMY® Master Series. Latin GRAMMY® winner and GRAMMY® nominee Pedro Capó kicked off the workshop, “Essentials of Budgeting in the Music Arts Industry”.

Chase representative, Ken Frazier discussed the importance of budgeting to build and maintain financial wellness. The event, hosted by Ana Jurka, TV personality and award-winning journalist, at Coral Reef High School in Miami, drew more than 500 students in person. Together the special guests, along with the Foundation and Chase, shared the goal of amplifying the importance of financial education from access to money and credit management in building a career in Latin music and the arts.

Through this session, hundreds of high school students, including emerging musicians, gained an understanding of budget management and resources—along with expert advice.

“Coral Reef Senior High School is thrilled to welcome the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation and Chase to Miami’s Mega-Magnet,” said Nicole Bergé-MacInnes, Principal, Coral Reef High School. “Over 500 of our Magnet Band, Chorus, Orchestra, Dance, Drama, IB & AP Spanish, and Business & Finance Magnet students participated in the “Essentials of Budgeting in the Music Arts Industry” workshop with Latin GRAMMY winner Pedro Capo. Giving our students the opportunity to learn about the music business and gain practical financial knowledge was a unique opportunity for our Barracuda family.”

“Promoting access to knowledge and essential financial insights is crucial for building a stronger economic foundation for our students and communities,” said Silvana Montenegro, Global Head of Advancing Hispanics & Latinos at JPMorganChase. “That's why we are thrilled to continue our collaboration with the Latin GRAMMY Foundation, empowering our students with the resources and tools they need to plan for their professional and financial futures through our Master Series Educación Financiera.”

“Developing financial literacy provides creators a solid base on which to build their careers, serving as an essential vehicle for growth in all areas of their lives,” said Raquel “Rocky” Egusquiza, Executive Director of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation.  “Individuals with an understanding of budget management have an unparalleled superpower; thank you to Pedro Capó and our partners at Chase for empowering future generations of Latin music creators in building this skillset.”

Throughout the year, the Foundation and Chase will host two additional workshops for students. Through this series with Chase, the Foundation continues to support students with the tools to improve their financial knowledge with confidence and establish financial wellness. This collaboration is part of the ongoing efforts led by Chase to advance economic inclusion and help close the racial wealth gap among Black, Hispanic and Latino customers and underserved communities. .

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (SEPTEMBER 5, 2024) – The Latin Recording Academy® hosted the Best New Artist Showcase with previous Latin GRAMMY® winner in the Best New Artist category, Joaquina, and Nicki Nicole, who was also nominated in the same category in 2020. For the first time, the event took place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at Michelangelo Legend.    

 

“Bringing our Best New Artist Showcase to Argentina for the first time, together with Joaquina and Nicki Nicole, is a unique opportunity to continue celebrating Latin music and its creators during the 25th anniversary of the Latin GRAMMYs®,” said Manuel Abud, CEO, The Latin Recording Academy. “Since we launched the series two years ago, this initiative has become an excellent vehicle to bring our mission to life and reaffirm our commitment to fostering spaces that supports new music in an environment that respects cultural diversity and inclusion.”

 

The Best New Artist Showcase series is the keystone of the partnership between Mastercard and The Latin Recording Academy. The concept kicked off in November 2022 during Latin GRAMMY Week, and Mastercard and The Latin Recording Academy have since held showcases in Mexico City, San Juan, Sao Paulo, and Seville.

 

“At Mastercard, we believe in the power of music to connect people. Through the Best New Artist Showcase, we aim to offer unique experiences that bring fans closer to artists while celebrating new voices and supporting emerging talent,” said Federico Cofman, Mastercard's Cluster Lead for Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. “Being part of this reflects our commitment to providing priceless moments that transcend borders and generations.”

 

Joaquina opened the showcase and offered a repertoire of her songs including “Pesimista”, “Quise Quererte”, and her latest singles “No Llames A Lo Mío Nuestro” and “El Alquimista”, moving seamlessly from the piano to the guitar. Argentina native Nicki Nicole then took the stage and offered a setlist featuring more intimate versions and subtle arrangements of her songs “Dispara”, “Qué Le Pasa Conmigo”, “8AM”, “Plegarias” and “Llámame”, which created the perfect atmosphere for all the guests to enjoy this special evening. 

 

The next Best New Artist Showcase will take place during Latin GRAMMY® Week in November, featuring the nominees for the 25th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards®.

 

Johnnie Walker joined as the official sponsor of the Best New Artist Showcase in Argentina, offering guests a glamorous cocktail bar inspired by their whisky collection.

ABOUT JOAQUINA:

At just twenty years old, singer-songwriter Joaquina has quickly become one of Latin pop's most exciting rising stars. In 2023, she won the Latin GRAMMY for Best New Artist. Additionally, Joaquina released her debut EP, Los Mejores Años, showcasing her special ability to capture the nuances of teenage angst in an equally catchy and poetic manner, which earned her a second Latin GRAMMY nomination in the Best Singer-Songwriter Album category. This year, the Venezuelan-American continues to prove why she's considered one of the most talented and promising artists in Latin music. Recently, Joaquina was the only Latin music artist that had the opportunity to join Andrea Bocelli at the Italian artist's 30th-anniversary celebration concert in London, where she performed “Vivo Por Ella” in a duet with Bocelli in front of the 30,000 spectators in attendance. Likewise, Joaquina performed sold-out shows in Mexico and Spain, and achieved a historic profile on the cover of Cosmopolitan Spain. This month, the singer-songwriter also released two new singles, “No Llames Lo Mío Nuestro” and “El Alquimista,” which she surprisingly gifted and has gone viral organically.

 

ABOUT NICKI NICOLE:

Nicki Nicole is one of today's top stars in the Latin urban music scene. With hits blending genres such as trap, reggaeton, hip-hop, pop, and electronic music, the Argentine singer-songwriter has accumulated over 1.6 billion streams across all digital music platforms. Nicole has received seven more nominations throughout her career following her nomination for Best New Artist at the 2020 Latin GRAMMYs. At 23 years old, she has collaborated with artists worldwide, such as Christina Aguilera, Becky G, Bizarrap, No Te Va Gustar, Young Miko, Los Ángeles Azules, Myke Towers, and María Becerra. After her U.S. debut at the Coachella Music Festival in 2022, Nicole will return to the United States next month with her Alma World Tour. She is currently working on a follow-up album after the release of Alma in 2023.
