Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame

The Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame (LSHOF) (Spanish: El Pabellón de la Fama de los Compositores Latinos) also known as La Musa Awards, was established on October 18, 2012, by Desmond Child and Rudy Pérez and is located in Miami, Florida, United States. The hall of fame is dedicated to "educating, honoring and celebrating the lives and music of the world’s greatest Latin songwriters and composers". The hall of fame was conceived by Child after he realized that he was only the third Latino to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Pérez came up with the same idea after having discussions with Latin composers Manuel Alejandro and Armando Manzanero 16 years prior to its conception. Initially, the organization had only 119 participants which grew to over 15,000 members in two years from 21 Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries across Latin America, Europe, and the United States. Nominations for the inductions are selected by its committee of music professionals, which consists of producers, composers, musicians and performers, with the winners being voted by the general public. The only exception was for the 2022 inductees. To be eligible for a nomination, the songwriter, composer, or lyricist is required to have their first published work released at least 20 years prior to the year of induction.The accolades are divided into three groups: inductees, posthumous inductees, and additional honorees. While inductees are selected by an online survey, the posthumous inductees and special honors are presented by the organization's committee. For the inaugural La Musa Awards, five inductees were selected from 24 nominees of performing and non-performing songwriter categories. The gala took place on April 23, 2013, at the New World Center in Miami Beach. The awards were not held in 2020 and 2021. After a two-year absence, the organization celebrated its tenth anniversary and inducted both of its founders into the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame.Since its inception, songwriters originating from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Italy, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, the United States, and Venezuela have been inducted.

Penthouse Court Apartments, today called Les Jardins of South Beach Condominium, is an historic property with Mediterranean Revival architecture and Art Deco features, located at 1620-22 Pennsylvania Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida, USA and is in the Miami Beach Architectural District, Florida, USA. It was Designed by Martin L. Hampton who was a renowned architect in the 20's and 30's. He is best known his work in Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables and Hollywood. Among his most notable projects are the Great Southern Hotel of Hollywood (1924), The Bathing Casino of Hollywood (1925), the Country Club of Coral Gables (1923) and the Miami Beach City Hall (1927). In the late 1930s, investment in the real estate in the Miami Beach area became popular, so the Architect started to design Mediterranean Revival houses and apartments in the South Beach area, especially around Flamingo Park. Penthouse Courts was built during this period and is an evident expression of this style. The apartments are distributed in two symmetrical buildings of three floors. For each building, the first and second floors have three apartments as well as one penthouse on the third floor. Each building has two balconies on the second floor and one on the third floor, all of them in typical Mediterranean Style. The roof is of Spanish tile. The entrance is an iron "flamingo" gate that opens up on to a beautiful tropical garden. Inside the building the original iron staircase railings hand forged in the 30s are still strongly in place together with an iron gate leading to the Penthouse on the 3rd floor. Building permit 6240 was released by the City of Miami Beach in 1934 and the building was completed in 1935 in the Art Deco Area of South Beach. It is listed in the City of Miami Beach Historic Property Viewer A list of Martin L. Hampton's work can be found on the National Register of Historic Places on page 17 of the Nomination Form of the Congress Building. Penthouse Court is listed as designed by the architect in 1934. Located one block from Lincoln Road the apartments are famous for their beautiful mosaics both in the common areas and garden and also throughout the stairwells and some interiors of both buildings.
