American Latino National Heritage Fellows
The National Endowment for the Arts, the fellowships are awarded based on three criteria: 1) artistic excellence, 2) impact on their tradition, and 3) authenticity. “Authenticity” means that the artists represent something greater than themselves—an entire tradition and that the people of their cultural community see them as keepers of their cornerstone traditions. The Latino National Heritage Fellows in the field of music epitomize this. They reflect major areas of musical accomplishment in Latino USA, including flagship regional traditions such as Tejano, New Mexican, Puerto Rican, and regional Mexican traditions planted firmly in the Southwest.

Latino, Hispanic, Latinx, Chicano: The History Behind the Terms
The terms Latino, Hispanic and Latinx are often used interchangeably to describe a group that makes up about 18 percent of the U.S. population. While it’s now common to use umbrella terms to categorize those with ties to more than 20 Latin American countries, these words haven’t always fostered a sense of community among the people they’re supposed to describe.
