Established in 1997, the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (the Latin Recording Academy) is the first international corporation formed by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. The Latin Recording Academy is a membership-based association composed of musicians, producers, engineers and other creative and technical recording professionals who are dedicated to improving the quality of life and the cultural condition for Latin music and its makers.

In cooperation with with The Latin GRAMMYS and MENC, AMC created a special series of broadcast spots in support of music education that have brought the message of music to a nationwide audience, with a focus on the Latin America community. The announcements feature artists like Carlos Santana, Jon Secada, Tito Puente Jr., David Sanchez, Jaci Velasquez, La Ley, Chico O’Farrell, Fernando Osorio, K.C. Porter, Alejandro Fernandez, Romero Britto and actor/producer Andy Garcia, all of whom lent their time to a special series of Spanish language spots that aired on more than 200 radio stations and 60 television stations around the country.

AMC’s ongoing partnership with the Latin GRAMMYs provides us with a powerful opportunity to reach a new audience with the importance of music making and music education. For more information on this series, please contact Sharonm@amc-music.org.
