As part of the 25th anniversary of the Latin GRAMMYs, The Latin Recording Academy has partnered with the GRAMMY Museum for a new exhibit: LATIN GRAMMYs 25 – A Legacy Of Musical Excellence.

Located on the GRAMMY Museum’s second-floor gallery, the exhibit will feature more than a dozen red carpet and stage outfits worn by Latin stars such as Peso Pluma, Jenni Rivera, Rosalía, Rauw Alejandro, and Los Tigres Del Notre, Celia’s Cruz’s iconic blue-and-white wig, plus percussion instruments from Juan Luis Guerra’s home studio, a Gabbanelli accordion donated by Ricky Muñoz, Intocable’s lead vocalist and lead singer, and an acoustic guitar from Shakira’s home studio.

“For 25 years we have had the immense privilege of celebrating excellence in Latin music, accompanying our music creators in their successes worldwide. These exhibits are a magnificent opportunity to bring the magic of the Latin GRAMMYs to the public,” said Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy.

The exhibit will explore the last 25 years of Latin GRAMMY history, as well as the rich landscape of musical genres and cultures that have graced their stage. At the root of the exhibit is an understanding that Latin music has transformed into a massively successful commercial force in the international music landscape over the last quarter-century, with the Latin GRAMMYs playing a key role in its global development. The exhibit will also survey the history of the institution and its most important moments, while also illustrating Latin music’s creative complexity and enduring cultural impact.

“The Latin GRAMMYs have undeniably established themselves as a cultural landmark and a powerful influence in global music over the past 25 years,” said Michael Sticka, President and CEO of the GRAMMY Museum. “This fall, we eagerly anticipate commemorating more than two decades of musical excellence, memorable highlights, and extraordinary moments from the Latin GRAMMYs at the GRAMMY Museum.”
