Juanes

Born and raised in Medellín, Colombia, Juanes is unquestionably Latin Rock’s leading global ambassador and champion for social change. Hailed by TIME as “one of the 100 Most-Influential People in the World,” Juanes is the only artist holding TWO of Billboard’s”Top-5 Latin Pop Songs of All-Time,” has 13 #1 U.S. singles to his credit, dozens of groundbreaking Spanish language television appearances and has collected a staggering TWENTY-NINE combined GRAMMY & Latin Grammy Awards (from a record-setting 49 nominations for a solo artist). Known for his distinctive sound that fuses a deep love of rock & pop music with smartly crafted, multi-layered songwriting and a deep reverence for the traditional folk and other indigenous rhythms of Colombia and Latin America, Juanes has sold millions of records around the world On his 2021 “ORIGEN,” and its matching standout documentary film, Juanes passionately returned to his earliest guitar-driven rock roots in order to share a scintillating collection that reimagines some of the most important songs and artists that shaped his own early musical vision. Upon its release, Origen was praised by Rolling Stone as “A Masterpiece... an exquisite album that transcends beyond the songs, into genius.” The album WON both the LATIN GRAMMY for “Best Pop-Rock Album” and took home the GRAMMY award for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album.” The critically-acclaimed and highly personal 2023“VIDA COTIDIANA” (‘Everyday Life’) album, sees Juanes continuing his immersive return to his electric guitar rock roots with a deep dive back into his own long-praised skill as an ardent songwriter – who this time turned his focus inward during the pandemic to reexamine his matured take on life, love, family, social concerns and more. The wide consensus reaction to the album universally declared the work as “the best album of Juanes career’ and saw his musical peers bestow repeat award recognition with the 2023 LATIN GRAMMY for “Best Pop-Rock Album” and this year’s GRAMMY for “Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album.” Numerous media outlets hailed the album among ‘The Best Latin Music of 2023’ including NPR, Billboard, Variety, and Rolling Stone- saying: “ Three decades in the industry haven’t dampened [the] creativity… of one of the most beloved stars in the Spanish-speaking world, and his ]11th] album proves it.. ‘One of the Best Latin Albums of the Year’ …Vida Cotidiana is full of lessons from his heroes, but it’s made up of original songs charged with new energy, some of Juanes’ best writing... and razor-sharp production” As Juanes’ first album created with the members of his long-time touring band totally immersed in the recording sessions, it is no surprise that it has also been a natural dynamic transition to the live stage. Driven by the sound of Juanes’ own recently unveiled signature Fender Stratocaster, the VIDA COTIDIANA WORLD TOUR is enthralling fans around the world, with his Spring North American tour leg met with Sold-Out shows throughout the country and The Los Angeles Times proclaiming the production as ‘A Magic Night… A Guitar Masterclass… Packed to Capacity… And One Of His Best Performances To Date.” Rolling Stone and Billboard continued the applause, hailing the Sold-Out tour stop in New York as both “Epic” & Triumphant.” While the VIDA COTIDIANA WORLD TOUR will continue throughout 2024, including a second U.S. tour leg this Fall, 2024 will also see Juanes delve deeper into his interest in acting. Having developed from his very hands on behind the scenes and in front of the camera work on many of his own award winning music videos across the years, Juanes also made periodic film and TV appearances, that included a cameo in Jennifer Lopez’ “Bordertown,” a significant voice role in the OSCAR nominated animated movie “Ferdinand”, and a praised guest appearance in the hit network TV show “Jane The Virgin”. Now, this fall will see Juanes take on a starring role in the upcoming film “Pimpinero”-directed by Andi Baiz, For Amazon
