It was BMI’s honor to celebrate our family of incomparable songwriters and publishers who continue to lead the way across all styles and genres of Latin music. Your songs are capturing the hearts of listeners around the world, making Latin music a truly global phenomenon. We salute your talent and innovation and we’re very proud to recognize the most influential Latin songs of the past year. Thank you for making it such a special evening!
We were thrilled to salute Grupero legend Ana Bárbara, who made history as the first Regional Mexican female songwriter to receive the BMI Icon Award. An international superstar for over three decades, she has taken Grupero around the globe, while making her mark on mariachi, pop, banda and romantic ballads. A truly groundbreaking songwriter and artist, Ana Bárbara’s impact on Latin music is unmatched, and she has paved the way for countless songwriters to follow in her footsteps.
