The greatness of Carmen Linares shines more and more in her recitals and more and more in the showcase of her awards. And he already has one more: it has just been announced that the Latin Grammy Academy has awarded him the Latin Grammy Award for Musical Excellence 2023.
Carmen Linares received the Princess of Asturias Award for the Arts in 2022 with great emotion. I had received many awards before, but this one is very special for any artist.
However, we are almost certain that he will be thrilled again when he gets his hands on the special recognition from the Grammy Awards (via the Latin Recording Academy).
It will be in Seville in November. This event will come to the Andalusian city to celebrate a super gala.
In the case of Carmen Linares, the organizers of the Grammys award it to her for being “one of the most gifted, passionate and knowledgeable cantaoras in the history of flamenco”, and having “the stature of Spanish legends such as Camarón de la Isla, Paco de Lucía and Enrique Morente”.
We would love you to read his biography in this post on our website and, if you want to know which other flamenco artists have been awarded Latin Grammy prizes before, here you have a list from their beginnings.
