Bobby Pulido Wins New Latin Grammy After Winning Seat in Congress: ‘We Need to Get to Work & Use Our Voices for Something Else’

Bobby Pulido won his third Latin Grammy, for best Tejano album, days after defeating an incumbent Republican to win a seat in the US House. The singer-turned-politician said he was retiring from music and urged fellow artists to use their voices for other purposes as he prepared to begin his political career.

The award recognised Bobby Pulido & Friends: Una Tuya y Una Mía (Vol. 2/En Vivo), recorded in Monterrey in December 2024 and released in 2025. Pulido, 53, beat Monica De La Cruz in Texas’ 15th Congressional District on 4 November; he and other newly elected members of Congress are due to take office in January. He has released 16 albums since his 1995 debut, Desvelado.
