Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award

The Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award is a special Latin Grammy Award presented annually by the Latin Recording Academy, to commend performers "who have made contributions of outstanding artistic significance to Latin music". Award recipients are honored during "Latin Grammy Week", a string of galas just prior to the annual Latin Grammy Awards ceremony. Since its inception in 2004, the award has been presented to musicians originating from Ibero-America. Armando Manzanero, Linda Ronstadt, and Joan Baez have also received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Joe Arroyo is the only artist to have received the award posthumously, in 2011, four months after his death. In 2014, Carlos do Carmo became the first artist from Portugal to receive a Latin Grammy Award when he was honored with it. Like the Person of the Year and Trustees Award, the honor was not presented in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
