But it was his solo output \u2014 beginning with classic albums like 1999\u2019s Peque\u00f1o and 2002\u2019s Flamingos \u2014 that found him developing a Latin American folklore with chiaroscuro shades of cabaret music.<\/p>\n Lins is the Brazilian creator of such anthems as \u201cMadalena\u201d and \u201cCome\u00e7ar de Novo.\u201d The keyboardist and singer-songwriter began his career in bossa nova, but quickly took flight and developed a deeply personal, cosmopolitan musical language of his own.<\/p>\n Mexican vocal trio Pandora earned their first international hit in 1985 with \u201cC\u00f3mo Te Va Mi Amor,\u201d and went on to collaborate with such musical legends as Armando Manzanero and Frank Sinatra, Julie Andrews and Luis Miguel.<\/p>\n The Latin Music Educator Award is a new distinction, in partnership with the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation, that recognizes one exceptional educator from the global music community who is making a significant impact by incorporating Latin music into their curriculum.
