Tejano musician Bobby Pulido won Best Tejano Album at the Latin Grammys on Thursday for Bobby Pulido & Friends: Una Tuya y Una Mía (Vol. 2/En Vivo). The award was presented during a pre-ceremony telecast, and Pulido accepted it in person. It is his third Latin Grammy.
The win came days after Pulido won his competitive race in Texas’s 15th congressional district in the midterm elections.
During his speech, Pulido said he is retiring from music but will continue to use his platform to make change. “I’m so, so proud to be from Texas and to be Tejano and to represent this music,” he said. “Tejano music is in very good hands; we have so much talent, young talent like [nominees] Jay Perez, Destiny Navaira, and everyone who’s here.”
Pulido won his first Latin Grammy in 2022 for Best Tejano Album for Para Que Baile Mi Pueblo. He won his second in 2025 in the same category for Bobby Pulido & Friends: Una Tuya y Una Mía (Vol. 1/En Vivo), the first volume of the project he won for on Thursday.
During his campaign, Pulido attended 75 local quinceañeras, where he often sang his hit “Desvelado” and engaged with families and voters. In an October interview with Rolling Stone, he said he might still sing at fundraisers or social events but wanted to fully dedicate his time to politics, adding that “public service to me is much more powerful.”
