Thank you to the music of the amphibian culture, and thank you to Alejandro Sanz and Rubén Blades for showing us so much love and joining this call. Congratulations to all the nominees and long live music,” expressed Carlos Vives upon receiving his nominations.

In May of this year, the artist launched his 14th studio album titled “Cumbiana” where Vives takes the history of cumbia to the modern era. With this album, Vives returns to one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet: the region of cumbia and of the great rivers and swamps of Colombia. Carlos discovers the amphibian origin of the most popular musical patterns in Colombia, such as vallenatos, cumbias and porros, those that left the world since immemorial time and returned in a more modern style, showing the power of diversity, but declaring like never before its American origin. In this album, Carlos brings us ten modern songs built on their bases with amphibian patterns and in which the talent of great artists such as Alejandro Sanz, Rubén Blades, Jessie Reyez, Ziggy Marley and Elkin Robinson join the project. The album was chosen by Billboard as one of the 50 best albums that have been released in 2020.

The first single off the album, “No Te Vayas” landed on the Top 10 of Billboard’s Tropical Airplay chart. The vallenato-pop song, produced by Vives, Martin Velilla and Andrés Leal, reached the #1 spot on the radio charts of Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Panama, Honduras, Chile and the Dominican Republic, meanwhile the music video has surpassed more than 23 million views on YouTube. 

The second single of the album, “For Sale” alongside Alejandro Sanz, garnered more than 17 million views on Youtube and the hit became #1 on the radio in Colombia, Guatemala, Paraguay, Ecuador and Honduras.
