ABOUT LA MUSA AWARDS The Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame (LSHOF) honors the biggest names in music at the star-studded La Musa Awards. The 2014 Gala celebration, which honors both legendary songwriters, as well as the top writers of today, is set for Saturday October 18 at The Ritz Carlton South Beach in Miami Beach, Florida. Over 500 guests songwriters, producers, artists, musicians and music industry executives, publishers and music rights organizations come together to pay tribute to acclaimed Latin songwriters of some of the most beloved songs. About the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame The Latin Songwriters Hall Of Fame (LSHOF) was founded by two prolific and accomplished hit-makers producers Desmond Child and Rudy Perez under the auspices of the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in New York. Their vision was to create an organization exclusively devoted to recognizing and spotlighting the artistic achievements of Latin music makers. The Latin Songwriters Hall Of Fame mission is to educate, preserve, honor and celebrate the legacy of the greatest Latin songwriters. LSHOF is committed to developing and inspiring international Latin songwriters through master class workshops, showcases, scholarships, digital initiatives, as well as an international songwriting contests. Future plans call for the creation of an interactive Museum and traveling exhibits to reach communities all over the world. I believe that the founding of the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame is of extreme cultural importance. In the 500 years that Latin songwriting has been going on, we have never had a Hall of Fame to preserve, honor and celebrate the legacies of the body of work that paved the way for songwriters like me. - Rudy Perez, LSHOF Co-Founder and Producer
