Sting Snags His First Latin Grammy for Rock Collab with Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso

Sting Wins First Latin Grammy for Collaboration with Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso

In a notable achievement, British musician Sting has earned his first Latin Grammy award thanks to his collaboration with Argentine duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso. The award came in the category of Best Pop/Rock Song for the track “Hasta Jesús Tuvo Un Mal Día”, featured on the duo’s album Free Spirits.

Although Sting was not present to receive the award in person, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso accepted it on his behalf and expressed deep gratitude, acknowledging Sting’s significant support throughout the project. Paco Amoroso remarked that Sting played an essential role in guiding them during the album’s creation and credited him for much of their success.

The Making of Free Spirits and Sting’s Involvement

The album Free Spirits represents a creative turning point for Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso. According to promotional materials, Sting helped the duo manage the pressures of newfound fame during a wellness retreat at a secretive holistic center. This retreat included what was described as a “transcendent 12-step program,” during which the artists confronted deep personal challenges that influenced the album’s themes.

This therapeutic and immersive approach was a part of the duo’s artistic process, blending their mischievous and unconventional style with serious emotional exploration. The album itself addresses twelve internal conflicts that tested the artists, making the collaboration with Sting more than a simple musical feature—it was a guiding influence on the work’s conceptual development.

Multiple Nominations Highlight the Album’s Impact

• Song of the Year: “Hasta Jesús Tuvo Un Mal Día” is nominated beyond its win.
• Album of the Year: Free Spirits is considered for this prestigious award.
• Best Alternative Music Album: The album is a contender in this category as well.

The multiple nominations for both the song and album underline the critical and peer recognition Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso have achieved with Sting’s involvement. This success could mark just the beginning of Sting’s Latin Grammy accolades.

Sting’s collaboration is a notable example of cross-cultural musical partnerships, merging the British rocker’s influence with Latin pop’s experimental and boundary-pushing ethos. This award marks an important milestone in Sting’s expansive career, adding a Latin Grammy to his achievements in the global music landscape.
