Latin Grammys finally in Miami
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Miami was named yesterday as host of the Latin Grammys, a year after the city spurred the inaugural award show in a political furor concerning Cuba.
The Sept. 12 show will be televised from the county-owned American Airlines Arena, announced the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences and the Latin Recording Academy.
"This announcement is confirming and cementing even harder Miami's position as an international community and the Latin music capital of the world," Miami-Dade County Mayor Alex Penelaas said.
Last year, civic leaders rejected the academies' request to be host, citing an ordinance barring the county from doing business with those who have dealings with Cuba. The show was held in Los Angeles instead.

In February, Miami-Dade's tourism agency organized a coalition to court the show, and civic leaders such as Miami Mayor Joe Carollo reversed their opposition, meeting frequently with the Latin Grammys staff in Los Angeles.
last July after the Supreme Court outlawed a similar Massachusetts statute blocking state purchases from companies that do business in Myanmar.
"This is a community of victims of a repressive regime, but I think this community represents freedom of expression," said Jorge Mas Santos, chairman of the Cuban-American National Foundation, an exile group that helped block the first show.
As part of the new deal, the county agreed to contribute $1 million toward the production.
Miami-Dade County, which is 57 percent Hispanic, has become a Latin music center in recent years with the help of celebrities like Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Miami Beach is home to Sony's Latin division and three times has been host of Midem Americas, a Latin and Caribbean music conference.
