The Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year is an award presented annually by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, the same organization that distributes the Latin Grammy Awards, to commend musicians for their artistic achievement in the Latin music industry and dedication to philanthropy. Award recipients are honored during "Latin Grammy Week", a string of galas just prior to the annual Latin Grammy Awards ceremony.[1]

The award was first presented to Cuban American musician and producer Emilio Estefan in 2000 for increasing public awareness of Latin music.[2] Eight years later his wife, singer Gloria Estefan, became the first female award recipient.[3] She had previously received the MusiCares Person of the Year award in 1994, a similar honor presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the same organization that distributes the Grammy Awards.[4]

Spanish singer Julio Iglesias received the second award in 2001. Ranchera singer Vicente Fernández won the award in 2002 for donating ticket proceeds to the National Hispanic Scholarship Fund.[5] Brazilian singer Gilberto Gil received the award the following year. The 2004 award went to Carlos Santana, who founded the Milagro Foundation in 1998 with his wife, which "supports young people involved in the arts, health and education".[6] Mexican singer José José, known as the "Prince of Song", received the award in 2005.[7] Puerto Rican entertainer Ricky Martin received the award in 2006 after his foundation launched the People for Children project, which works to eliminate human trafficking.[8] Juan Luis Guerra, known for popularizing merengue and bachata music, received the award the following year for founding a non-profit organization that has helped build hospitals, churches and recreation centers in the Dominican Republic.[9][10] 2009 award recipient Juan Gabriel is known for donating concert proceeds to his favorite children's foster homes and for founding Semjase, an orphanage for approximately 120 children.[1] Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo received the 2010 award for founding Operalia, The World Opera Competition (an annual international voice competition), for raising millions of dollars through benefit concerts for disaster victims, for helping to establish a hospital in Lerma, Mexico State, and for additional goodwill efforts.[11]

Shakira was honored as Person of the Year on November 9, 2011. She also won the award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album for Sale El Sol. Caetano Veloso was honored on November 14, 2012.[12] Miguel Bosé was honored on November 20, 2013.[13] Joan Manuel Serrat was honored on November 19, 2014.[14]

Since its inception, the award has been presented to musicians originating from Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Spain, Panama, Italy, and the United States.
