In a historic first, the world’s three largest performance rights organizations, BMI, ASCAP and SESAC, joined forces to present the annual “Los Producers” benefit concert on the eve of the Latin Grammy Awards (Nov. 18) at the Fremont Country Club in Las Vegas.
Over 20 past Latin Grammy winners and nominees, including artists, producers, composers and engineers, took to the stage throughout the evening in an effort to raise funds for the Cim*ab Foundation (Asociación Mexicana Contra el Cáncer de Mama, A.C), a Mexico-based non-profit for breast cancer prevention and treatment.
