Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame
Star-studded ceremony to take place at New World Center
“I believe that the founding of the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame is of extreme cultural importance,” said Grammy Award winning songwriter Rudy Perez from his North Beach studio. He and fellow songwriter, Desmond Child, will make history on April 23 when they bring some of the biggest names in music to the New World Center for the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame’s first induction gala.
For Perez, the Hall of Fame is a long-term endeavor with a goal of having a physical museum in Miami and then to expand to Buenos Aires, Mexico and Spain.
“Part of the tourism experience to Miami will be to visit the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame,” he said. “It’ll be an interactive museum where families and kids can learn about the craft of songwriting, as well as the concept of intellectual property and the laws surrounding it.”
