September 17, 2024—One of the most influential rising global artists, Carín León, has received 5 nominations for the upcoming 25th Annual Latin GRAMMYs—Album of the Year for Boca Chueca Vol. 1, Record of the Year for “Una Vida Pasada” with Camilo, Song of the Year for “Te Lo Agradezco” with Kany Garcia, Song of the Year for “Según Quién” with Maluma, and Best Contemporary Mexican Music Album for Boca Chueca Vol. 1. The ceremony will take place in Miami on November 14 and broadcast on Univision in the U.S.

León’s successful album Boca Chueca Vol.1 contains 19 tracks, and shows him experimenting with a variety of genres, such as rock, country and pop. It represents a deep exploration of his essence, fusing the music he has listened to all his life with his own style. The songs include the “Despí dase bien,” and features collaborations with artists such as Kane Brown, Leon Bridges, Pepe Aguilar, Bolela and Panteo n Rococo.

“My new album is very special to me because it was created amidst concerts, award shows, and being on the road,” says Carín. “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.”

This is León’s third consecutive year of Latin GRAMMY nominations. Last year, he took home a golden gramophone for “Colmillo de Leche,” recognized as Best Norteño Music Album. In 2022, León won his first Latin GRAMMY—Best Regional Mexican Song for “Como Lo Hice Yo” with Matisse.

His Boca Chueca Tour 2024 is currently underway, seeing stops across major cities in North America and Europe. Remaining stops include Chicago, Toronto, Washington D.C., Nashville, Charlotte and more, as well as a landmark performance at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. Complete list of dates below.

León sold out all shows in Latin America and the North American dates are off to a great start, with 11 consecutive sold out shows including Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

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. Earlier this year, León made history at the first Latin artist ever to perform at both Coachella and Stagecoach in the same year. He also opened for The Rolling Stones on the Glendale, AZ stop of their tour. In February, the singer made history by making his debut at Nashville's iconic Grand Ole Opry.
