Amarilys German of the Dominican Republic, the long-time right hand of Juan Luis Guerra, is one of four Leading Ladies honorees who will be celebrated during the Latin Grammy Week 2025. German is officially the Entertainment Executive and Manager to Latin Grammy- and Grammy-winning artist Juan Luis Guerra.

The three other 2025 honorees are Maricarmen “Tuti” Bou, vice president of Sony Music Entertainment in Puerto Rico; Paula Kaminsky, Managing Director at Global Talent Services US (GTS), a talent management agency; and Rozalén, Latin Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter.

The event precedes the grand gala of the 26th Annual Latin Grammy Awards that will be held on Thursday, 13 November 2025 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

A press release from the Latin Grammy organization explains that the Leading Ladies of Entertainment program honors and recognizes professional and socially conscious women in the arts and Latin entertainment fields. Each group of Leading Ladies of Entertainment has made significant contributions to their communities and has inspired future leaders in the industry.

The 2025 Leading Ladies of Entertainment honorees will be celebrated at a private event held during Latin Grammy Week 2025 in Las Vegas, ahead of the 2025 Latin Grammys.

In a statement, Latin Recording Academy CEO Manuel Abud expressed his pride in presenting this year’s honorees. He described them as “an exceptional group of women who have distinguished themselves not just through their successful careers but also through their work outside of the professional realm.”

“Our past honorees have helped grow our Mentorship Program, and we look forward to having this year’s class continue that legacy and empower future generations of young women,” Abud continued.

The 2025 Leading Ladies of Entertainment event is one of the marquee events of the annual Latin Grammy Week, a weeklong celebration featuring special events, including the Special Awards Presentation, Latin Grammy In The Schools, Nominee Reception, Best New Artist Showcase, Person of the Year Gala, which this year will honor legendary Spanish singer Raphael as the 2025 Latin Recording Academy Person Of The Year, and Premiere Ceremony, all leading up to the annual Latin Grammy Awards. Ahead of the 2025 Latin Grammys, Latin Grammy Week will once again feature a full slate of celebrations throughout Las Vegas.

Nominations for the 2025 Latin Grammys are scheduled to be announced on Wednesday, 17 September 2025.
