Bobby Pulido was one of the big names to come out of the midterms last week, winning his competitive race in Texas’ 15th congressional district. The triumphs keep coming: The Tejano musician, who tightened his relationship with voters by leveraging his music career
and singing chops, won his third Latin Grammy on Thursday night, clinching the Best Tejano Album category for his project Bobby Pulido & Friends: Una Tuya y Una Mía (Vol. 2/En Vivo) .
The award was presented during a pre-ceremony telecast, and Pulido accepted the honor in person. During his speech, he reminded people that although he’s retiring from music, he’ll still be using 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. I love you all, and I’ll see you soon, because we need to represent and we need to get to work to use our voices for something else.”
Pulido won his first Latin Grammy in 2022 for Best Tejano Album for his LP Para Que Baile Mi Pueblo. He scored 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 that he won for on Thursday.
While running his campaign, Pulido reached out to voters and attended 75 local quinceañera, where he often sang hit “Desvelado” and used the time to engage with families and voters. In October, he told Rolling Stone that although he was planning on singing for fundraisers or social events, he wanted to fully dedicate his time to politcis.
“I could foresee in the future maybe potentially doing a benefit and maybe using a concert here and there to help raise money for various causes that are really important to me,” he said. “But public service to me is much more powerful. I do music for me because I enjoy it, but when you’re serving, it’s not for you. It’s for other people, and I think my life would be complete that way.”
