Fans Choose Pepe Aguilar’s ‘Los Aguilar Sinfónico’ Album as Best New Latin Music of the Week
The album earned more than 49 percent of the vote in the latest Billboard New Music Latin poll.
Pepe Aguilar has been crowned the winner of Billboard’s new music Latin poll, published on August 21, after his live album Los Aguilar Sinfónico desde El Hollywood Bowl captured the hearts of readers. The 25-track set, recorded during two performances at the Hollywood Bowl with his children Leonardo and Ángela Aguilar, received nearly half of the nearly 1,000 votes cast.
The album masterfully blended iconic mariachi hits like "Por Mujeres Como Tú," "Directo Al Corazón," and "La Llorona" with the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra. In a statement to Billboard Español, Pepe expressed his gratitude for the honor, noting that it marked the first time a Mexican artist had performed at the Hollywood Bowl since 2002.
He also announced a future symphonic and mariachi show at the Jones Hall in Houston on August 28 and 29, without his children. Another fan favorite in this week’s New Music Latin poll was Grupo Bryndis' heartfelt medley "Ayer y Hoy II," which secured over 38 percent of the total votes.
