Mexican singer and songwriter Gloria Trevi, known as the Queen of Mexican Pop, will be honored with the Hispanic Heritage Legend Award, one of the most important awards given by the Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF).
The announcement was made this Thursday and highlights both his musical contribution and his social commitment throughout more than three decades of career.
HHF President and CEO Antonio Tijerino highlighted the artist’s cultural reach: “Gloria Trevi is not only a musical icon, she is a cultural force whose voice has resonated across generations and borders. Her fearless artistry, record-breaking tours and unwavering support embody the spirit of this award.
Trevi, 56, shared the news on her social networks with a message full of gratitude to her audience, to whom she dedicated the award: “More than praising me, I think it honors the audience that for many years has turned my music into hits that intertwine with their own stories. To them, who break generational and social barriers in concerts where they become one voice, I dedicate this honor”.
The ceremony will be held on September 4 in Washington D.C., where reguetonero Rauw Alejandro, actor and comedian Cheech Marín, businesswoman Julissa Prado and NPR journalist Félix Contreras will also be recognized.
