The gala will also recognize the songwriters and publishers of the past year’s top BMI Latin songs played on American radio and television.

Held at the Breakers Ponce De Leon Ballroom in Palm Beach, Fla., the BMI Icon award is given to those who have had a “unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers.” An all-star musical tribute will pay homage to the achievements of Estefan.
