Las Vegas — The Latin Recording Academy presented its 2026 Special Awards on Monday, November 9, in Las Vegas, honoring six figures for their contributions to Latin music over long careers.
Lifetime Achievement Awards went to Alaska, Francisco Céspedes, Lila Downs, Daniela Mercury and Chichí Peralta. Omar Alfanno received the Trustees Award, which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to Latin music, not necessarily through performance.
Latin Recording Academy CEO Manuel Abud opened the ceremony by paying tribute to the honorees and the mark they have left on Latin culture, according to the report.
The 2026 Latin Grammy Awards gala follows on Thursday, November 12, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and will be broadcast live on Univision at 8 p.m. ET.
