“He continues to break down generational barriers through his poignant lyrics which move millions of people and inspire greater acceptance and understanding.” “Marco Antonio Solís is a living legend and one of the most emblematic figures in Latin music,” said Manuel Abud, CEO of the Latin Recording Academy. In 2017, he voiced the character of Ernesto de la Cruz in the Spanish-language version of the Oscar-winning Disney/Pixar film Coco. His music has extended into film and has included performing the song “Si No Te Hubieras Ido” for the soundtrack of the Oscar-nominated film Y Tu Mamá También. He has worked behind the scenes as a composer, arranger and producer, collaborating over the years with artists such as Rocío Dúrcal, Raphael, and Lucero. Last year, the band announced a highly successful comeback tour, “Una Historia Cantada” (“A History in Song”).Īfter launching a solo career in 1996, Solís released more than a dozen solo albums. He and his cousin Joel Solís began performing early in their career as Dueto Solís and, in the mid-1970s, they formed the popular group Los Bukis. Solis, who is known lovingly as “El Buki” by fans, was born in Ario de Rosales, Michoacán, in Mexico, and grew up watching his father sing and play the guitar. “I would like to share this sentiment with everyone who has inspired me, and with those who I may have inspired as well to be able to occupy this place that the public has made me deserving of through this blessing called music.” “I am very moved and grateful to the Latin Recording Academy for this special distinction that means so much to me professionally and personally,” Solis, who has also been nominated for six Grammys through his decades-long career, said in a statement. Details of the event and this year’s Latin Grammy Awards have not been announced. He will be honored at a gala and tribute concert that will include renditions of his music performed by friends and other artists. I love music and lyrics, and it’s truly a beautiful career blessed by the grace of God.”Ĭelebrating a 40-year trajectory, Solís’ “street studies” shined far beyond his powerhouse vocals: he played the guitar, played the piano, played timbales, and danced to every rhythm.ĭuring the concert, where he was accompanied by a 15-member band and four beautiful dancers, Solís performed some of his all-time corta-pulso classics such as “Invéntame,” “Como Fui a Enamorarme de Tí,” “Si Te Pudiera Mentir,” “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto,” “Tu Cárcel” (which he wrote during difficult times), and “La Venia Bendita” (which he says was the fastest song he’s written - in just three hours - because he was, and still is, in love),” among others.The Latin Recording Academy announced today that the 2022 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year is composer, arranger, producer, musician, artistic director, and five-time Latin Grammy winner Marco Antonio Solís. “I have little academic studies,” he admitted during his show. Wearing a shimmery, sequined pant and blazer set, Solís continued to sing songs such as “Nada Que Me Recuerde a Ti,” “Dios Bendiga Nuestro Amor,” and fan-favorites from Los Bukis’ such as “Falso Amor” and “Y Ahora Te Vas.” Today with technology, what I value most is presence,” the Mexican balladeer said. “Let us thank the heavenly father for this moment.
