The Latin Recording Academy has announced its 2025 Leading Ladies of Entertainment honorees. This year's honorees, who will be celebrated during Latin GRAMMY Week in Las Vegas days ahead of the 2025 Latin GRAMMYs, are:

  • Maricarmen "Tuti" Bou, Vice President of Sony Music Entertainment in Puerto Rico

  • Amarilys Germán, Entertainment Executive and Manager to Latin GRAMMY- and GRAMMY-winning artist Juan Luis Guerra

  • Paula Kaminsky, Managing Director at Global Talent Services US (GTS), a talent management agency

  • Rozalén, Latin GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter

Created nine years ago, the Leading Ladies of Entertainment program honors and recognizes professional and socially conscious women in the arts and Latin entertainment fields. Each group of Leading Ladies of Entertainment has made significant contributions to their communities and has inspired future leaders in the industry.

The 2025 Leading Ladies of Entertainment honorees will be celebrated at a private event held during Latin GRAMMY Week 2025 in Las Vegas, ahead of the 2025 Latin GRAMMYs. Amazon Music, returning as the presenting sponsor for the second consecutive year, is also donating to the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation’s Scholarship Fund in support of future Latin music makers.

In a statement, Latin Recording Academy CEO Manuel Abud expressed his pride in presenting this year’s honorees, who he called "an exceptional group of women who have distinguished themselves not just through their successful careers but also through their work outside of the professional realm."

"Our past honorees have helped grow our Mentorship Program, and we look forward to having this year’s class continue that legacy and empower future generations of young women," Abud continued.

"We are thrilled to continue our support of the Latin Recording Academy's Leading Ladies of Entertainment for a second year. These exceptional women exemplify the leadership, innovation and dedication that are driving the Latin music industry forward," Rocío Guerrero, director of music, Latin-Iberia at Amazon Music, said in a statement. "Through this initiative and our contribution to the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation's Scholarship Fund, we're committed to supporting and amplifying the voices of future generations of female leaders in Latin music. The impact these honorees have made both professionally and through their community work perfectly aligns with the mission at Amazon Music to elevate and celebrate Latin talent."

Espolòn Tequila joins as the official sponsor of the 2025 Leading Ladies Of Entertainment event. Moira Noriega will serve as executive producer of the event, working under the direction of the Latin Recording Academy’s production team led by Ayleen Figueras.

This year’s class, along with past honorees, is invited to become mentors of the Leading Ladies of Entertainment Mentorship Program, hosted by the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. Paying it forward and forging opportunities for future generations is a core pillar of this initiative, and the program aims to foster the next generation of women in the industry. Applications for the mentorship program will open at a future date to be announced. For any questions, email lgcf@grammy.com.

Ahead of the 2025 Latin GRAMMYs, Latin GRAMMY Week will once again feature a full slate of celebrations throughout Las Vegas.
