A Night of Intimacy and Inspiration
The sold-out event brought together 200 attendees for an intimate and inspiring night. Israel’s wife, Emmy-winning host Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, led a conversation that delved into personal moments from his career, his faith, and his evolution as an artist.
After the conversation, music took the stage. Israel was joined by his band and notable guests like Adrienne, Lucía Parker, and Aaron Moses. Together, they performed classics and new versions with a unique Latin and gospel flair.
The Legacy of “Coritos”
One of the most special moments of the night was when Israel & New Breed brought Latin Christian “coritos” to the GRAMMY Museum for the first time. They performed songs from “Coritos Vol. 1” and previewed tracks from “Coritos Vol. 2,” set to be released in September.
Hits like “Fiel Hacia Mí” and “Coritos de Fuego” have already landed in the Top 10 on monitorLATINO in 18 countries. Additionally, “Coritos de Fuego” has spent 19 weeks in the Top 5, and the album has accumulated over 25 million streams on digital platforms.
A Historic Impact
For Alexandria Dávila, co-producer of the event, the performance marked a turning point. “Having Israel & New Breed perform ‘coritos’ at the GRAMMY Museum is a powerful moment for Latin Christian music. It was truly historic!”
