2025 Latin GRAMMYS Official Artist: Leticia Maldonado
The Latin Recording Academy has named Leticia Maldonado as the official artist of the 2025 Latin GRAMMYS. Inspired by the iconic neon signs of Las Vegas, the Mexican American multimedia sculptor created a three-dimensional luminous glass gramophone surrounded by colorful flowers.
@latingrammys @Leticia Maldonado es la artista oficial de la 26.a Entrega Anual del #LatinGRAMMY ✨ Inspirada en los anuncios de neón de Las Vegas, creó un escultura del gramófono tridimensional en vidrio luminoso, rodeado por flores coloridas 🌈 Leticia tiene un lazo especial con la música, pues su abuela fue mariachi en la juventud: “Elegí rosas para flanquear el gramófono porque para mí son un símbolo de amor y compasión, y honran la verdad y la belleza en el arte, que creo que es el espíritu de los Latin GRAMMYs” 💐 #Arte #Neon #Process #BTS
Since 2001, the Latin Recording Academy has selected a visual artist to convey the importance of music in Latin culture, bridging the gap between the two art forms. Maldonado, the 26th visual artist in Latin GRAMMY history, now joins this long-standing tradition shaped by internationally acclaimed artists.
Get ready to watch history happen live at the 2025 Latin GRAMMYS tonight (Thursday, Nov. 13).
