Techy Fatule, J Noa and León Yamil win their first Latin Grammy 2026

Dominican rapper J Noa, singer Techy Fatule and Dominican songwriter León Yamil won their first Latin Grammy this Thursday, in important categories of the awards ceremony, held this Thursday, November 12 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Singer-songwriter Techy Fatule opened the Dominican celebration by winning her first Latin Grammy thanks to her record production “Chula”, winner in the Best Merengue and/or Bachata Album category. This recognition represents a significant achievement for her artistic career and for the international projection of Dominican merengue.

Added to this victory was that of the Dominican rapper J Noa, who won the Latin Grammy in the “Best Rap/Hip Hop Song” category for Antisistema, a track created with producer Trooko. The award marks her first win at these accolades, following several consecutive nominations, and constitutes an important recognition of her work within urban music.

For his part, the Dominican composer León Yamil also made history by winning in the “Best Tropical Song” category for “Nombre y Apellido”, a track performed by Luis Enrique and De La Ghetto, which he co-wrote alongside Luis Enrique and Ender Thomas.

In this category, there was a tie with Realidad-Es, a composition by José Aguirre and performed by Grupo Niche, so both works shared the recognition. For León Yamil, this represents his first Latin Grammy.

The three triumphs represent an important celebration for the Dominican Republic, by recognizing national talent in three musical areas: merengue and bachata, rap, and tropical composition.

Likewise, the Dominican musician and producer Chichí Peralta received the Musical Excellence Award for his career and his contributions to Latin music, adding another reason for pride for the country in this edition.
