‘With all due respect to the Grammys, this is a shame!’, complained Cláudio Lins; The award organization has not yet commented on the case
The son of the singer and composer, , used his social networks this Friday (15), to criticize the organization for a mistake made in his father’s name. “With all due respect to the Grammys, this is a shame!” he complained. In the photo, which accompanies the post on Instagram, you can see a clipping of an exhibition that took place at the entrance to the awards ceremony, in Miami, in the United States. Below the singer’s photo there is a sign with his name spelled incorrectly: “David Lins”
“When my father appeared to the general public, at the V International Song Festival, in 1970, the event presenter confused his name and called him Ivan Luís and, soon after, Ivan Lima (some friends call him Lima to this day !). Until then he was an unknown artist…” begins Cláudio. The actor and composer continues, explaining that now, in 2024, in the year in which the Latin Grammys come closest to Brazil, with a record number of nominations for Brazilian artists in the international categories, “the great Ivan Lins, with more than 50 years of career , has his name awkwardly changed in an exhibition at the entrance to the awards ceremony”.
Cláudio also highlights that his father is the first Brazilian to win the Album of the Year category at the Latin Grammy Awards. “And it’s still competing this year in the Latin Jazz Album category”, he recalls. “It would be the same as calling Shakira Xitara, or Rúben Blades Blades Runner”, he compares. The Latin Grammy organization has not yet commented on the case.
