Beny Moré Memorial Award
The Beny Moré Memorial Award was an annual award, from 1999 to 2003, presented by the International Latin Music Hall of Fame to an individual who has helped to popularize Latin music throughout the world, in honor of the late Cuban artist Benny Moré. The International Latin Music Hall of Fame struggled in relation to the more established Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame, and ceased operation before it was time for the 2004 Beny Moré Memorial Award.
