On November 14, 2024, the Latin Recording Academy announced the winners of the 2024 Latin GRAMMY® Awards. The Grammy for Best Classical Album was awarded to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel’s Fandango, released on the Apple-owned Platoon label. The album features Alberto Ginastera’s Estancia and the world premiere recording of Arturo Márquez’s mariachi-inspired violin concerto Fandango, performed by superstar violinist Anne Akiko Meyers and captured live at Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2022. Arturo Marquez was also awarded the LATIN GRAMMY for Best Contemporary Classical Composition for his violin concerto Fandango.

Platoon has expanded their Classical department in recent years, positioning themselves as a key market player with true creative vision – this award marks the first acknowledgment of this kind for the boutique creative services label. Fandango is the first release in the collaboration between Platoon and the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel – it documents part of the orchestra’s Pan-American Music Initiative, a project exploring more than 30 new commissions and numerous creative partnerships to emphasize the importance of Latin American heritage.

Gustavo Dudamel says: ‘This recording speaks to the heart of the LA Phil and of Latin America, and I am indebted to two of our greatest composing talents: Alberto Ginastera and Arturo Márquez. I'm grateful to the incredible musicians of the LA Phil for joining me in this marvelous musical dance, channeling both rhythm and soul. And to our fantastic partners at Platoon for believing in this project.’

Violinist Anne Akiko Meyers added: ‘Though Fandango was born just three years ago, it has already had an impact in the music world with its soulful melodies and enchanting rhythms. My deep gratitude goes to Arturo Márquez for writing this music that will stir my heart for decades, Gustavo Dudamel for leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Dmitriy Lipay and Platoon for capturing the scintillating live concerts and bringing Fandango to electrifying life.’

Arturo Márquez says: ‘Anne Akiko Meyers is the heart and soul of Fandango - a violin concerto especially composed for her virtuosic and expressive playing, and Gustavo Dudamel is one of the greatest conductors in music history. I am indebted to their vibrant and heartfelt performance of my violin concerto’. Katie Ferguson, Head of Platoon Classical says: ‘It’s an enormous honor for Platoon to release the visionary output of the LA Phil and Maestro Gustavo Dudamel, and to be part of these prestigious accolades. The orchestra’s ongoing work in championing Latin American composers resonates with Platoon’s ethos to amplify a diverse roster of musical voices around the globe. These awards mean an enormous amount to us, and we look forward to continuing this landmark series.’

Meghan Umber, Chief Content Officer at the Los Angeles Philharmonic added: ‘LA Phil Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel has championed the work of Latin American artists from the start of his career and, in the process, has reshaped American orchestral repertoire. Through our collaboration with Platoon, we are able to build on Dudamel’s border-transcending and inclusive vision by making the music of these Latin American musical giants available to all. We are proud to congratulate Gustavo Dudamel, the musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Anne Akiko Meyers and Arturo Márquez for their wins this year.’
