Berklee College of Music graduates and faculty are nominated for 19 Latin Grammy Awards this year.
Nominees include producer Tommy Torres, engineer/mixer Gustavo Celis, members of the Paquito D’Rivera Quintet and Dominican singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra, who tops this year’s nominations with five.
Such alumni, along with a Latin music curriculum and an aggressive international recruiting strategy, have brought the Boston school’s domestic and international Latin population to almost 10 percent of the student body as of fall 2006. Domestic Latino enrollment is up 11 percent from fall 2005.”*
