With 17 Latin GRAMMY Awards, two GRAMMY Awards, and a place in the Billboard Latin
Music Awards Hall of Fame,
Carlos Vives has forever changed Latin music. The Colombian singer, songwriter, actor, and philanthropist remains one of the most recognizable stars in the world with a massive social audience and over 15 million monthly listeners on Spotify, making him "one of the Top 300 most listened to artists in the world." He has generated billions of streams and views, earned dozens of platinum certifications, and sold over 20 million records worldwide.
Since his career began, he has masterfully merged traditional Colombian vallenato sound with pop and rock influences. His dozens of awards include two GRAMMY® Awards, which made him the first Latin artist to win, and 17 Latin GRAMMY® Awards, most recently winning in 2022. During 2020, he was inducted into the Billboard Latin
Music Awards Hall of Fame, an honor reserved for "artists who have achieved worldwide recognition for their work, transcending musical genres and languages." He stands out as only one of 18 artists to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Fittingly, he took home the Icon Award at La Musa Awards and in 2023 the Latin American
Music Awards Legends. Not to mention, he has secured the #1 spot on the Billboard Latin Airplay Chart 16 times and landed 19 Top 10 entries.
Vives' award-winning work "Cumbiana" includes not only two albums, but also the Latin GRAMMY® winning documentary "The lost world of Cumbiana," and the book "Cumbiana, stories of a lost world," exposing a true creative universe around the origin and the evolution of cumbia. In 2015, he founded the initiative "Tras La Perla" to promote sustainable development in the city of
Santa Marta and its region influenced by the
Sierra Nevada and Ciénaga Grande. In 2016, he also created the Río Grande
Music School with the purpose of offering new artistic experiences based on creating a dialogue around Colombian music and culture, new local music proposals and world music. As an entrepreneur, he is additionally the owner of Cumbia House venue in Colombia, a venue where music, food and cultural events merge into one place. As his most beloved slogan indicates, "united in diversity,"
Carlos Vives has made his mark across generations through music and the relentless and inspired advocacy for his culture.
