As part of The Academys continuing tradition of celebrating musical excellence and diversity throughout the year, this event - an installment of a new concert series that launched in 2009 - gives music fans the opportunity to see their favorite artist perform songs from his catalog in an up-close-and-personal, storyteller-style format, and allows artists to share anecdotes about their musical journey to the GRAMMYs.

"As a multiple GRAMMY Award(R) nominee, two-time Latin GRAMMY winner, philanthropist, and a great ambassador for Mexico, we are pleased that Alejandro Fernandez will perform at our inaugural international GRAMMY Artists Revealed event in his hometown of Mexico City," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. "Thanks to our continuing partnership with MasterCard, we are thrilled to bring an exciting GRAMMY event to music fans outside of the United States for the very first time."


"We are pleased to offer our cardholders a unique opportunity to meet one of the most famous singers in an exclusive and private performance," said Pablo Correa, Marketing Vice President for Mexico and the Caribbean, MasterCard Worldwide. "Our sponsorship of GRAMMY Artists Revealed leverages our commitment to reward the trust and loyalty of our cardholders with exclusive benefits that provide them unforgettable experiences."

Born in Mexico City and raised in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Alejandro Fernandez began singing in 1991 thanks to the encouragement of his father, legendary ranchera singer Vicente Fernandez. Since then, he has had a stellar career, selling more than 20 million albums worldwide and accumulating an impressive number of awards and recognitions, including three GRAMMY Award nominations (two in 1997, one in 1999), two Latin GRAMMY(R) Awards (2000, 2004), and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition to dueting with his father, Fernandez has performed duets with other talented artists throughout his career including Miguel Bose, Beyonce, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, Gloria Estefan, and Julio Iglesias, among many others.

He originally specialized in traditional, earthy forms of Mexican folk music, such as mariachi and ranchera, with his more recent work focusing on mainstream Latin pop. In December 2009, Fernandez launched his most ambitious project - releasing two albums simultaneously that showcased his two musical worlds; traditional and contemporary. Dos Mundos: Tradicion and Dos Mundos: Evolucion became multi-platinum albums in Mexico, the U.S., Spain, Argentina, and Chile.

More than 15 million people in more than 20 different countries have seen Fernandez in concert. Because he has always been committed to his state and his country by representing Mexican music and its traditions, the government of Jalisco recently honored Fernandez as an "ambassador of tourism for Jalisco."

LOS TRES: THE ARTISTS

Each of the artists on LOS TRES TOUR has a stellar recording and touring career of their own, so the tour is more than a concert, it's a history making event; the biggest showcase of Regional Mexican Music and Mexican pop ever. Each show is an opportunity for fans to see individual performances by three of their favorite artists and also see them as they join each other on stage to perform some musical surprises. The artists share mutual admiration and respect, but this is the first time that all three have shared a headline tour.

With 20 studio albums recorded, many which have gone multi-platinum, along with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and numerous Grammy and Latin Grammy awards and nominations, Fernandez is considered one of the most talented and successful Mexican singers ever.

MARCO ANTONIO SOLIS
