DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Colombian singer/songwriter FONSECA comes to the GRAMMY Museum on Tuesday, June 9, the first Latin artist to pay a visit to the museum's Sound Stage for an interview and performance. We've got tickets for blogdowntown readers to attend the show.

Juan Fernando Fonseca has been singing since the age of five, and released his first album in 2002. The release of his third album, "Gratitud," led to numerous acolades, including Latin GRAMMY, Billboard Latin Music and MTV Latin wins.

At the GRAMMY Museum, he will answer questions from Chief Curator Ken Luftig Viste about his songwriting, charitable work, recording career, cultural and musical influences. He'll also take questions from the audience and perform.

Remember, until Friday at noon we're also giving away tickets to see Nanci Griffith at the GRAMMY Museum on Monday.

Want to be part of the audience in the 200-seat Sound Stage? We've got five pairs of tickets to give to blogdowntown readers. Just leave a comment telling us why you'd like to see the show, and make sure to include contact info (email or Facebook account). We'll close off the entries Sunday at noon.

Hi there.

I would like to see Fonseca at the Grammy Museum because I haven't seen a Latin artist for such as long time! I love the energy at Latin concerts, and the diversity shown in the Latino community (and otherwise) when attending a concert en español. I do appreciate Fonseca's music, but have never seen him live. It would be a nice way to be introduced to a new venue (the Grammy museum), and see Fonseca live. Thanks.

From Columbia, living in LA now. A great chance to experience and relive some Columbian flavor! A chance to view the Grammy Museum for the first time also. Ciao! Fonseca!

I am Colombian living in LA and have never been able to see Fonseca live. My wife Gabriela from Bolivia is a HUGE fan and it would be a great surprise for her to take her there to see him and for both of us in the sence that we've never been to the new Grammy Museum either.

And to a greater extent, it would be interesting to see Fonseca in a more "unplugged" setting where we the audience can get to ask him questions.
