LOS ANGELES – The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), Directors Guild of America (DGA), International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada (IATSE), Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) released on September 25, 2009 the following Joint statement:

"We welcome the announcement today by President Obama of the nomination of Victoria Espinel to the position of this Administration’s Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator. There is no issue more important to our unions than the protection of the films and television programs that our members create. Too often in public debate these works are given the abstract labels of “content” or “information.” In reality however, they are much more than that—they are one of our country’s greatest economic and cultural contributions loved by both the American public and by billions around the world. And, most importantly, they are not abstractions, they represent real jobs and real income to millions of people in this country. We look forward to working with our Administration, Congress and the new IP Enforcement Coordinator to ensure that our films and television programs are respected and protected both here and abroad so that our children and grandchildren may enjoy them as we do today.”

The 10th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards will be broadcast live on the Univision Network from 8 – 11 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. Central) from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on Nov. 5, 2009.

"As we celebrate a decade of the Latin GRAMMY Awards, recognizing extraordinary music and its makers, it is only fitting that we pay homage to these exceptional individuals who have contributed their rich, dynamic talents to Latin music," said Gabriel Abaroa, President of The Latin Recording Academy. "The Board of Trustees of The Latin Recording Academy is humbled to salute these diverse performers and humanitarians who have made prolific contributions to Latin culture, both musically and socially."

Lifetime Achievement Awards: This Special Award is presented by vote of The Latin Recording Academy's Trustees to performers who have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording during their careers.

Cuban percussionist Cándido Camero is a celebrated musician who began his musical journey in his native Cuba before making his way to New York City in 1952 where he would begin recording with Dizzy Gillespie. Playing Afro-Cuban and traditional jazz he pioneered tuning congas to the melody of the song. At the age of 88, he continues to charm crowds with his talent and has been recognized with the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award.

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Beth Carvalho is a samba singer, guitarist, and composer. She is known as the "madrinha do samba" (godmother of samba), bringing recognition and reverence to great composers and songwriters, and she was a driving force in re-igniting the genre in the '80s. With a career that spans 40 years, she continues to record and is celebrated for her integral role in the history of Brazilian music.

Growing up in Argentina, Charly García began playing classical piano at 4 years old, and later was inspired by the Beatles, who he said were like "classical music from Mars." García was an integral player in the Argentine rock movement with his bands Sui Generis and Serú Girían in the '70s before beginning his solo career in 1982. He has collaborated and performed with artists from all over the world, and continues to record today, recently releasing the song "Deberías Saber Porque" in August. Garía is considered a true icon of rock music throughout Latin America and Spain.

Known as a singer who has moved audiences with the emotion in her voice, Tania Libertad was born and raised in Peru and moved to Mexico in 1978 where she would build an international career. Libertad has sung in a wide variety of styles including Peruvian waltzes, boleros, and African music and has sung all over the world and on every continent. Many of her songs contain a social message, and in 1997 she was honored as an UNESCO Artist for Peace.

As ambassador of traditional romantic songs, Marco Antonio Muñiz has released close to 80 albums and 40 hit singles across all of Latin America. Born in Jalisco, Mexico, he has performed in stadiums and coliseums throughout his career in both Latin America and the United States. Before starting his successful solo career, he was the extraordinary lead voice of the trio "Los Tres Ases," and his distinctive voice has driven a thriving solo career that continues today.

Singer, songwriter, poet, and preacher Juan Romero has worked in the ministry for more than 50 years, writing more than 430 hymns, as well as his own autobiography detailing his work. Born in Monterrey, Mexico, Romero hosted a television program for more than 10 years with his wife Aurora that reached an audience of more than 70 million people. After relocating to the United States he continues to travel the world, conducting meetings for Christian education and music.

Trustees Award: This Special Award is presented by vote of The Latin Recording Academy's Trustees to individuals who have made significant contributions, other than performance, to the field of recording during their careers.

Venezuelan pianist, educator, economist, and activist José Antonio Abreu got his career start in politics, serving as minister of culture for Venezuela, and worked as a university professor of economics and law. In 1957 he began to study piano, harpsichord, and organ, and received the Symphonic Music National Prize in 1967 for his talent. In 1975 he founded El Sistema, an innovative youth education organization in which music is the primary avenue for social and intellectual improvement, promoting values of respect, fellowship, and humanity. El Sistema has garnered him many awards and accolades, and in 1998 he was designated a Goodwill Ambassador by UNESCO.

Celebrated Mexican composer Roberto Cantoral made his musical debut in 1950 in the Theater Follies, and was a member of the trio "Los Tres Caballeros" before garnering critical acclaim as a composer. He has written such works as "El Reloj," "La Barca," and "Regálame Esta Noche," all of which have been recorded in many languages around the world. He serves as chairman of the board for the Mexican Society of Authors and Composers (SACM) and his work has been performed by dozens of acclaimed singers, nationally and internationally. He has participated in festivals in his native Mexico, as well as Brazil, Japan, and Greece, and received numerous awards throughout his career. He was elected chairman of the Ibero-American Committee of CISAC in 2003.

About LA/VALLEY PRIDE

Celebrate Events, Inc., dba LA/Valley GLBT Pride is a California 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to the improvement of the quality of life for GLBT people — through awareness.

MISSION STATEMENT

To improve the quality of life for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people-Through Awareness

VISION STATEMENT

Pride is a matter of identity, and PRIDE events have been a source of reassurance and recreation. Yet, in a world where so few ongoing positive reflections exist for the GLBT Community, AWARENESS of, for and by the community, of its diversity, resources, beauty and access to others and ourselves becomes an imperative.

AWARENESS for the community at large that gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders are their neighbors, friends, relatives, and co-workers. And for those who attend the event, an AWARENESS of the breadth and diversity of the GLBT community as exemplified by the attendees and exhibitors-and from this AWARENESS . . . comes RESPECT.

AWARENESS for the community groups that they exist, and that they have services to offer to the community. By doing so, they have an opportunity to grow and prosper, allowing them to be able to provide more and more services-and from this AWARENESS . . . comes COMMUNITY.

AWARENESS for the GLBT attendees of community groups and the services they provide. Allowing them the opportunity to avail themselves of these services in order to improve the quality of their lives-and from this AWARENESS . . . comes UNITY.

AWARENESS for someone who is still unsure how to incorporate being part of the sexual-orientation minority into their lives in a positive, beneficial way, the event offers a wealth of opportunity for growth. From the many happy people having the time of their lives, to the rich strength and diversity of the many community groups that are part of the whole, to the wholeheartedly participation of corporate America-and from this AWARENESS . . . comes PRIDE.

EVA LONGORIA PARKER AND GEORGE LOPEZ CO-HOST “THE 2009 ALMA AWARDS”

All-Star Event Celebrating Outstanding Achievements of
Latinos in Entertainment Airs September 18 on ABC

New Show Format Includes “Best of the Year” Categories in Sports,
Emerging Young Talent and Behind the Scenes Talent in the Latino Community

“The 2009 ALMA Awards,” celebrating the outstanding achievements of Latinos in entertainment, will air on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. The show will tape on Thursday, September 17 at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus.

For the first time in the history of the show, the ALMA Awards will broadcast during National Hispanic Heritage Month, a month in which all Americans learn about the Latino community and celebrate the contributions that Latinos have made to this country throughout its history.

“Thanks to our partnership with ABC, we have realized the dream of having the ALMA Awards air during the month in which our community is recognized and celebrated. I can think of no better way to kick off National Hispanic Heritage Month than to show, and to honor, the impact that Latinos have had in film, television and music,” said Janet Murguía, President and CEO of NCLR (National Council of La Raza), the largest national Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States.

Building on past successes, the ALMA Awards will bring a new approach to this year’s show. The first new development is the announcement of the co-hosts -- television and film actress Eva Longoria Parker will share her hosting duties with comedian and actor George Lopez, in addition to reprising her role as one of the show’s executive producers.

In addition, long-time NCLR partner PepsiCo will also help the ALMA Awards make a splash in Hispanic Heritage Month by teaming up with the show on creative promotions and viewer engagement activities. PepsiCo and its brands see the show as a great opportunity to honor the Latino community through strong support of the ALMA Awards and as a way to connect with viewers and consumers.

“The ALMA Awards is a special show because it represents the determined spirit and soul of the Latino people, and I cannot think of a better person to help celebrate and co-host with me than my good friend, George Lopez,” says Longoria Parker.

Lopez adds, “I’ve been a huge fan of NCLR and the ALMA Awards for years. I love working with Eva and I’m excited to be a part of the show!”

This year the ALMA Awards will also update the format of the show with some modifications to the nominations process in an effort to be more inclusive of the broad array of talent throughout the industry.

The show will focus on “Best of the Year” categories in film, television and music. New categories have also been added to recognize the influence of special segments of the entertainment industry that are shaping positive perceptions of the Latino community, such as emerging young talent (under 18), talent behind the scenes who make the onscreen magic happen, and a sports category in acknowledgment of the increasing integration of the worlds of sports and entertainment.

The newest addition to the 2009 executive production team is Bob Bain, who boasts an extensive history in the award show genre, having produced “The Critics’ Choice Awards,” “Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards” and “Teen Choice Awards,” as well as the “Miss America” pageant. He joins the ALMA Awards production team, which includes executive producers Janet Murguía, Eva Longoria Parker and David Chavez, President and CEO of LatinPointe.

The show is presented with the support of sponsors and advertisers. The 2009 Title Sponsor is PepsiCo. Gold Sponsors are Comcast, Doritos, Gatorade, Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi and Quaker. Silver Sponsors include ConAgra Foods, Prudential, State Farm Insurance Companies and Verizon. To date, the key media partners for the 2009 ALMA Awards include People en Español, AOL Latino and Latino Future.

About the NCLR ALMA Awards®
The ALMA Awards was created by NCLR in 1995 as part of its strategy to promote the diverse, accurate and balanced portrayals of Latinos in the media and the enhancement of the Latino image in the entertainment industry. The show is an example of how inclusion strengthens the entertainment industry, just as diversity strengthens our country.
