Latino Conspiracy Theories : Gloria Estefan to Retire and Be Honored by Latin Recording Academy
19 Aug 2008
According to various news sources, Gloria Estefan’s tour through Spain beginning August 22nd, titled 90 Millas, as in the distance that separates Cuba and Florida, will be her last. The Cuban artista wants to dedicate her time to her daughter writing children’s books we would never buy our kids and getting the Castro’s out of Cuba (ok we made that last one up).
This morning, the Latin Recording Academy, that is pretty much run by the Estefans, or so feel many in the Latin music industry, announces that Gloria Estefan will be the 2008 LATIN RECORDING ACADEMY PERSON OF THE YEAR. Isn’t that kind of like rewarding yourself?

Well, he didn’t make VL’s Most Influential Latino list, but Ricky Martin is getting props anyway. The Latin Recording Academy is honoring Ricky as its “Person of the Year” for being a great “entertainer and humanitarian:
“The 34-year-old Puerto Rican pop star will receive the honor at a dinner and concert in New York City on Nov. 1. A portion of the evening’s proceeds will benefit Martin’s charitable efforts.“His musical accomplishments are matched by his endeavors as an advocate for the welfare of children around the world,” Latin Recording Academy President Gabriel Abaroa said in a statement Thursday. “It is a great pleasure to honor this man of limitless talent, passion and sense of caring.”
Among other charitable endeavours, Ricky is involved in campaigns to combat internet predators and sex trafficking of children.
