September 20, 2024—One of the most influential artists in Mexican music, Carin León, has unveiled a new single “No Me Llores” in collaboration with Spanish artist Manuel Carrasco at 6pm ET. Listen/share HERE. Watch official video HERE.
Written by Carrasco and produced by Orlando Aispuro, “No Me Llores” is a powerful ballad about heartbreak, blending Carrasco’s flamenco-inspired vocals with León’s intense Mexican flair.
“Carin breathes music and expresses it in a very personal way,” Carrasco says, “Collaborating with him and sharing our worlds and love for our roots has been truly inspiring.”
Earlier this week, León scored five nominations for the 25th Latin Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and best Contemporary Mexican Music Album for Boca Chueca, Vol. 1. Last week, Billboard magazine announced León is a finalist for the Latin Billboard Music Awards in the “Regional Mexican Artist of the Year” category.
Earlier this month, León released “Man in Black”, a tribute to Johnny Cash, following the release of “La Chancleta” with Carlos Vives and Chimbala.
León is on the road on his much-anticipated headline Boca Chueca Tour 2024 in support of his latest album, Boca Chueca Vol. 1. With stops in 27 cities across North America and Europe, the tour includes a landmark performance at New York City’s Madison Square Garden as well as stops in Chicago, Nashville, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Toronto, Seattle and more. See below for a complete list of dates.
Following the North American dates the tour continues in Europe, with select shows in Madrid, London, Amsterdam and Paris.
“My new album is very special to me because it was created amidst concerts, award shows and being on the road,” says León. “It is an embrace and a reconciliation with aspects that are often considered negative but are also part of me. These demons represent the pressure from people and critics, reflecting who Oscar Armando is as a human being translated into Carín. These songs capture important feelings of what I am experiencing. The cover reflects my essence and the transformation in this album, connected to my less gentle side.”
Boca Chueca Vol. 1 is the follow up to the hugely successful Colmillo de leche, which reached #8 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart last year, with three tracks reaching #1 on Billboard's Regional Mexican chart.
León recently received a People’s Choice Country Award nomination for his collaboration with country star Kane Brown on “The One (Pero No Como Yo).”
ABOUT CARÍN LEÓN
Carin León continues his rapid ascent after a monumental year, including winning a Latin Grammy for Best Norteño Album for Colmillo de Leche and releasing two massive hit singles, with “Primera Cita” and “Según Quién” each charting Top 25 on Spotify and Top 30 on the Billboard Global 200. His single “ALCH SI” with Grupo Frontera reached the #1 spot on Billboard's Regional Mexican Airplay chart. Most recently, he completed an extensive sold-out run of U.S. arenas with his Colmillo de Leche Tour. The 38-date run saw León performing at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, Newark’s Prudential Center, Houston’s Toyota Center, Miami’s Kaseya Center and more.
Originally from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, León embarked on his musical journey at the age of 15, taking his first steps by learning to play the guitar and developing skills in singing and songwriting. In 2018, León released his debut album Desvelada con Banda y Mariachi which propelled him to quickly dominate the Regional Mexican music scene as a performer, singer and songwriter. In 2021 his album INÉDITO debuted atop the Apple Music charts, reaching #1 on the Mexican Music chart and #3 on the Latin Music chart and was named one of Billboard’s 25 Best Latin Albums of the year. León has received countless nominations and multiple awards, including an ASCAP Award for the song “Me La Aventé,” numerous Premios Lo Nuestro (“Regional Mexican Breakthrough Artist,” “Best Male Artist” and “Banda Song of the Year”) and a 2022 Latin Grammy win for “Best Regional Mexican Song” for “Como lo Hice Yo,” a collaboration with Mexican pop group Matisse.
