As you know, Carlos Vives has had clear some more space in his trophy room for a new honor: being named this year’s Latin Grammy Person of the Year, an award the Colombian superstar will accept at the ceremony, which will take place on 11/14 at Miami’s Kaseaya Center.

The honor caps off a great year for the 18-time Latin Grammy winner, whose El Rock de Mi Pueblo Vive tour has sold out shows in Monterrey, Mérida, Guadalajara and a final performance at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, with a plan to return to Florida on 12/20 for a gig at the Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.

"I am honored and moved to have been chosen as the 2024 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year," reads a quote from the WK Entertainment-repped Vives, pictured here with his longtime manager and WK founder/boss Walter Kolm. It is the reward for an authentic journey, for a wonderful team, and, above all, it is the recognition of the musical spirits of our Latin American diversity.”

The 25th annual Latin Grammy Awards will air at 8 p.m. ET/PT on 11/14 via Univision, Galavisión and ViX.

In related news, HITS staffers have no shot at being anyone's Person of the Year, but we're sometimes thought of as persons, which is a refreshing change.
