2009 ALMA Awards is the Show to Watch
Are you a music fiend? Be sure to warn your neighbors and give the living room floor an extra coat of wax if, like me, you’re lucky enough to be watching ABC Television on Friday, September 18 (8:00 to10:00 p.m., ET/PT). ABC will be broadcasting The American Latino Media Arts Award, also known as the ALMA. The early word on the street is that the creators of the event, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), are taking the awards ceremony, now in its fifteenth year, to new heights.
NCLR President and CEO Janet Murguía guarantees, “If you like the ALMA Awards, you will love this year’s show because we’re bringing you more of what you love most, unique musical pairings and the best Latino entertainment.” Not only will Nelly Furtado perform (who just released her new album Mi Plan), but the Black Eyed Peas and Maxwell will be there as well, both chosen as 2009 Special Achievement Honorees.
