BMI partnered with the Puerto Rico Restaurant Association, known as ASORE, in presenting a special performance by BMI songwriter and lead singer of the band La Secta Allstar, Gustavo Laureano. The concert was held in conjunction with the Puerto Rico Restaurant & Bakery Show at the San Juan Convention Center and benefitted ASORE’s Foundation, which provides scholarships for students interested in working in the hospitality industry. Laureano and his band have received multiple Billboard Awards and GRAMMY nominations and in addition to fronting La Secta, the native of Bayamon, Puerto Rico has also written hit songs for other artists including Ricky Martin.
