Congressman-Elect Bobby Pulido Wins Another Latin Grammy: Third Best Tejano Album Win, and He Announces His Retirement From Music
Tejano singer Bobby Pulido won Best Tejano Album at the 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas on November 12 for Bobby Pulido & Friends Una Tuya y Una Mía (Vol. 2/En Vivo). The Latin Recording Academy's official winners list shows the album winning the Best Tejano Album category over nominees by Kevin Aguilar, Destiny Navaira, Jay Pérez and Vilax. The award was announced during the Latin Grammy Premiere ceremony at the MGM Conference Center.
It is Pulido's third career Latin Grammy win and his second consecutive victory in the category: he won in 2025 for the first volume of the same live series, Bobby Pulido & Friends Una Tuya y Una Mía (Vol. 1/En Vivo), after first winning in 2022 for Para Que Baile Mi Pueblo.
The win came nine days after Pulido was elected to Congress. On November 3, he defeated two-term Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz in Texas's 15th Congressional District, flipping the South Texas seat, and he is expected to be sworn in when the new Congress convenes in January 2027. Billboard quoted him after the win saying it is time to get to work and use their voices for something else. Tejano Nation reported that in his acceptance remarks he announced his retirement from music, closing a career of more than three decades to focus on public service.
