★ Jan 23 Fri: 2026 NAMM International Music Market. Roland Space, Convention Center, Anaheim, CA

Note: Andy Vargas presents the Lifetime Achievement Award to Karl Perazzo. Visibly moved as he accepted the honor on the Roland stage, Perazzo reflected on the journey that led him there. “I know they gave me this award because of who I am,” he told the crowd, thanking the musicians and mentors who helped shape his life and career. The atmosphere was fueled by admiration for the percussionist, producer, and songwriter renowned for his commanding timbales, as well as his trademark showmanship and deep, infectious groove. In his remarks, Perazzo emphasized gratitude for the community that has supported him for decades. “There is some real talent in this room, the masters that came to support me,” he said, acknowledging fellow artists and family waiting backstage to congratulate him. Recalling humble beginnings, he added, “I bought my first instrument shoeshining. I only know Latin percussion.” He also spoke passionately about artist–brand partnerships and professionalism, noting that endorsement relationships carry responsibility and purpose. “To be surrounded by brands that believed in the artist and the artists that believe in the brand, it goes hand in hand. It is not a game,” he concluded.

Quote from Andy Vargas (Facebook Jan 26, 2026): It was an incredibly meaningful moment of my life to stand there and present Karl Perazzo with the Lifetime Achievement Award at NAMM. Honoring him felt deeply personal, he’s given so much to music and percussion, touched so many lives with his talent and spirit, and I was truly humbled and moved to be the one to recognize his incredible legacy.
