New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The GRAMMY Museum L.A. LIVE and Bulova are pleased to present DEEP HEART: Roots, Rock & The
Music Of
Carlos Vives, a new exhibit opening Monday, Nov. 13, 2017. Located on the Museum's third floor, this one-of-a-kind exhibit will offer visitors an in-depth look at the iconic career of the two-time GRAMMY®-winning and 11-time Latin GRAMMY-winning Colombian singer/songwriter who pioneered the integration of the indigenous and vallenato sounds of his country into popular music. The exhibit opens three days following the Nov. 10 release of Vives' latest album, Vives (To Live).
On display through November 2018, the exhibit will feature, among other items:
The outfit Vives wore for his first big telenovela appearance on "Escalona"
Vives' first GRAMMY won for 2001 for Best Traditional Latin Album for Dejame Entrar
Vives' 2015 Latin GRAMMY Award for Best Contemporary Tropical Album for El Rock De Mi Pueblo
Hand-painted props used in the music video for his award-winning collaboration with Shakira, "
La Bicicleta"
Handwritten notes and lyrics used during the making of his 2013 Latin GRAMMY-winning album, Corazón Profundo
"It's an absolute honor to be able to pay tribute to one of Latin music's most influential artists, and the music of Colombia, through this new exhibit," said Nwaka Onwusa, GRAMMY Museum Curator. "Carlos Vives helped shape the new Colombian and Latin American sound. We are thrilled to share his incredible story with our visitors."
"Carlos Vives has had an enormous impact on music both in Colombia and here in the United States," said Scott Goldman, GRAMMY Museum Executive Director. "While his work as a singer, composer, actor, and entrepreneur has touched millions, his commitment to music education as part of his Rio Grande music school continues to inspire future generations of music creators. We hope this exhibit will be just as inspiring."
"Bulova is proud to work alongside the GRAMMY Museum to promote such an inspirational and educational exhibit featuring
Carlos Vives, one of the most influential Latin artists of our time," said Robert Christiano, EVP Marketing at Bulova.
"I feel very honored to be able to share the story of my musical history and its evolution throughout my 25-year artistic career," said Vives. "Thank you to the GRAMMY Museum for this opportunity."
