Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame

The Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame (LSHOF) (Spanish: El Pabellón de la Fama de los Compositores Latinos) also known as La Musa Awards, was established on October 18, 2012, by Desmond Child and Rudy Pérez, and is located in Miami, Florida, United States. The hall of fame is dedicated to "educating, honoring and celebrating the lives and music of the world's greatest Latin songwriters and composers". The hall of fame was conceived by Child after he realized that he was only the third Latino to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Pérez came up with the same idea after having discussions with Latin composers Manuel Alejandro and Armando Manzanero 16 years prior to its conception. Initially, the organization had only 119 participants which grew to over 15,000 members in two years from 21 Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries across Latin America, Europe, and the US.
