Joaquina: From Best New Artist to Historic Album of the Year Nominee

Venezuelan sensation Joaquina, who already made history as the youngest ‘Best New Artist’ winner at the Latin GRAMMYs in 2023, is once again poised to captivate audiences. The Latin Recording Academy® announced on October 21, 2025, that Joaquina will perform live at the prestigious 26th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards. The highly anticipated telecast will take place on Thursday, November 13th, at the iconic MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, promising an unforgettable night for music lovers.

Making History with al romper la burbuja

Joaquina’s star continues to ascend with her critically acclaimed debut album, al romper la burbuja, securing an impressive four Latin GRAMMY nominations. These include major nods for ‘Album of the Year,’ ‘Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album,’ ‘Best Pop/Rock Song’ for “no llames lo mío nuestro,” and ‘Best Singer-Songwriter Song’ for “aeropuerto.”

Her ‘Album of the Year’ nomination is particularly noteworthy, making her the youngest nominee ever in this coveted category for a debut album, placing her alongside industry giants like Bad Bunny, Gloria Estefan, and Natalia Lafourcade. Publications such as Billboard, Rolling Stone En Español, and Hits Daily Double have already hailed al romper la burbuja as “The Best albums of 2025 So Far.”

New Single “Los 41” and High-Profile Appearances

This exciting announcement coincides with the recent release of her powerful new single, “Los 41.” This pop/rock track showcases Joaquina’s ability to blend irony, anger, and humor, tackling the all-too-common scenario of an emotionally immature suitor. As she sings, such a person “will need his mom to fold his clothes until he’s 41,” cleverly addressing the reality of those who say they “don’t want anything serious” while keeping others in emotional limbo. Joaquina transforms personal heartbreak into relatable art, solidifying her voice as an authentic representative of her generation’s experiences.

Her recent activities highlight her rising international profile. She spent time in Spain, co-coaching on La Voz España with Malú and opening for Sebastián Yatra’s “Entre Tanta Gente” tour. Additionally, she will be performing at iHeart Radio’s Fiesta Latina 2025 Kick-Off Party in Miami on October 23rd, hosted by Enrique Santos.

With a historic performance confirmed and multiple major nominations, Joaquina is undeniably one of the brightest stars heading into the 26th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards. Her debut album continues to resonate, and her latest single proves her fearless artistry. Don’t miss her groundbreaking presence at this year’s awards, and be sure to dive into her captivating music.
