variety.comThania Garcia Amanda Miguel, Yordano, Rosario Flores, Myriam Hernández and Rita Lee will receive the Latin Recording Academy’s 2022 Lifetime Achievement awards, the academy announced on Thursday.
Label executive Manolo Díaz, Cuban saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera and Abraham Laboriel will be recipients of the Trustees Award.
The private awards ceremony will be held one day before the 2022 Latin Grammys on Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. “The collective accomplishments of this extraordinary group of artists and their contributions to Latin music are immeasurable,” said Manuel Abud, CEO of the Latin Recording Academy. “It will be a great privilege to honor these legendary figures during Latin Grammy week in Las Vegas.” The Lifetime Achievement Awards are presented to performers who “have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to Latin music and its communities,” and the Trustees awards recognize similar influential figures for reasons other than performance.
Both distinctions are voted on by the Latin Recording Academy’s board of trustees. Italian-born Venezuelan singer-songwriter Yordano began his musical career in 1978 as a vocalist with the band Sietecuero.
