After observing the soft power effect that Spanish-language music has had over the past decade for Spain, both for the prestige of the language and for the country itself, the Cervantes Institute and Spain's Culture Ministry have decided to step in.
The body, which is the largest public institution dedicated to promoting Spanish internationally, particularly its language and literature, has this week approved the creation of a similar structure for music composed (or produced) in the language of Cervantes, though with a focus on Spain itself.
