Hispanic Heritage Month 2024: Recognizing Our Partners Aiding the Hispanic Community Worldwide

  • Hispanic Heritage Month 2024: Recognizing Our Partners Aiding the Hispanic Community Worldwide
  • Oct 15, 2024

Sony Music Group is embracing a singular, unifying theme for every heritage acknowledgement and celebration in 2024: Reimagining CommUNITY. Inspired by the art we create, music can help us strengthen our connections to the people and cultures around us, so everyone can belong and thrive.

From September 15 to October 15, we proudly celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month, and acknowledged the contributions, history, traditions, and cultural diversity of people whose heritage is rooted in more than 20 countries and territories. While the month's celebrations have come to a close, we continue our efforts at Reimagining CommUNITY by elevating Hispanic and Latino voices through our Global Social Justice Fund partners.

Learn about some of our partner organizations who are driving change within the Hispanic community:
