Daddy Yankee joined Latin GRAMMY In The Schools at Del Sol Academy of the Performing Arts in Las Vegas on Nov. 9. The program included a Q&A with the Puerto Rican artist, a student performance and a donation of musical instruments, according to the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation.
The visit also paired a student performance with a Q&A.
The Foundation says the instruments will support band instruction, rehearsals and performances, with the donation intended to reduce financial barriers for families. The Dr. Simi Foundation presented the program, and Sony Music Publishing supported it through its Beyond The Instrument initiative.
The Foundation describes In The Schools as a series of visits that connects music students with artists and other professionals. It says the program has supported schools across the United States and abroad, including institutions in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Argentina and Spain; Del Sol is its latest stop.
