SANTOS BRAVOS TRIUMPH AT PREMIOS JUVENTUD WITH A CLEAN SWEEP
SANTOS BRAVOS continues to reach new milestones on their rapidly rising global journey as the group took home both awards they were nominated for tonight at Premios Juventud including “Favorite Group/Duo of the Year” and “New Generation – Male Artist.”
The evening also saw the global Latin pop group grace the Premios Juventud stage for the first time, where the group delivered a high-energy performance of “VELOCIDADE,” one of the standout tracks from their debut EP, DUAL. All five members shared the stage with 12 dancers for the first time featuring a completely new dance break developed exclusively for the award show.
The night comes just weeks after another historic moment for the group: their participation in KCON LA 2026, where SANTOS BRAVOS became the first Latin American act ever to grace the lineup. Billboard named their performance the #1 Best Moment from KCON, while Forbes praised them as “powerhouse performers.”
Since their debut at the end of 2025, SANTOS BRAVOS has built a career defined by rapid international expansion. The group has brought their music to markets across Latin America, including Lima, Peru, and São Paulo, Brazil, where they performed their first headline concerts in both countries to sold-out crowds. In Mexico, their performance at Tecate Emblema drew more than 20,000 people, further solidifying their presence among some of the most important audiences in Latin music.
Comprised of DREW (United States), KAUÊ (Brazil), ALEJANDRO (Peru), KENNETH (Mexico), and GABI (Puerto Rico), SANTOS BRAVOS represents a new generation of Latin artists bringing together different cultures, sounds, and perspectives through a pop-driven, global vision.
Their first EP, DUAL, debuted at No. 17 on Billboard’s Top Latin Pop Albums chart and was released to critical acclaim from Teen Vogue who asserted it is “loaded with bangers” and PAPER who praised its “honest emotional narrative.” Upon release, the EP landed on best new music of the week lists from both Rolling Stone en Español and Billboard Latin.
With an increasingly active fan community that has helped the group garner over half a billion views, 115 million streams globally, and over 14 million followers, SANTOS BRAVOS continues to build a unique artistic vision that begins in Latin America and reaches audiences around the world.
