Latin Musicians Threaten to Sue the Grammys

By LARRY ROHTER


The increasingly bitter dispute that erupted early in April when the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced it was eliminating 31 categories from the Grammy Awards notched up yet another step on Thursday when a New York law firm announced plans to sue the academy on behalf of musicians who play Latin jazz, one of the categories that is being dropped.

At a news conference in Manhattan, the drummer Bobby Sanabria, one of the Latin jazz musicians who has been most vocal in criticizing the Academy’s action and in leading efforts to restore all 31 categories, also called for a national boycott against CBS, which broadcasts the Grammy Awards show each February. Speaking in both English and Spanish, he urged viewers to refrain from watching programs on the network and to write letters of protest to corporations sponsoring shows on CBS.

“This is the most blatant example of racism in the history of any arts organization,” Mr. Sanabria maintained, noting that nearly three-quarters of the categories being eliminated are dedicated to the music of racial or ethnic minorities. “The Grammys have kept pace with the cultural diversity of this country” up to now, he added, but eliminating 31 categories constitutes “a slap in the face to cultural and musical diversity.”

Mr. Sanabria’s lawyer, Roger Maldonado of Balber Pickard Maldonado & Van Der Tuin, said he planned to file a class action suit on behalf of Latin jazz musicians in New York, which would claim that the academy’s trustees “abdicated their fiduciary duty to safeguard the interests of all members of the academy” and inflicted damage on the livelihoods of practitioners of Latin jazz with their action. “The trustees chose instead to rubber-stamp a secretive process that serves the interests only of those popular performers who already enjoy broad exposure.”

Several performers, including several winners of Grammy Awards, have already announced their support for the campaign to reinstate the eliminated categories, which range from traditional blues to Hawaiian and Cajun music. Among the prominent supporters of the restoration campaign cited by Mr. Sanabria are Paul Simon, Bill Cosby, Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Herbie Hancock and Rubén Blades.

“This is a peer-based award, not like American Idol,” Mr. Sanabria said, arguing that the academy’s action was pushing the Grammy Awards away from its stated mission to reward musical excellence, and not popularity. “We’re trying to restore the dignity of working musicians.”

The academy could not immediately be reached for comment.
