R.Evolución Latina has announced the 2022 Doreen Montalvo 'Do It Anyway' Scholarship. Each year an artist will be selected as a recipient of the scholarship in honor of Doreen Montalvo.
A little girl from the Bronx, rooted in her Puerto Rican culture and determined to make Broadway her home, Doreen never stopped following her dreams. She changed many lives through her art, through her mesmerizing voice and through her unending light.
The voice behind some of Broadway's greatest songs, Doreen Montalvo, was truly a part of the R.Evolución Latina family. She was always available for anyone who needed help and she was always willing to share her talents. A champion of R.Evolución Latina from day one, she lifted up each artist, supporting the dream of making a difference through art, empowering the Latinx community, and did it all with constant joy.
