Listen to a selection of songs from the newly nominated artists on Spotify.
All One Tribe by the 1 Tribe Collective
A collective of 24 artists contributed songs to this album. Says co-producer Aaron Nigel Smith, “The 1Tribe Collective and this album are historic. They demonstrate the dreams and hopes of our people. It’s an incredible honor to work with so many voices representing the rich diversity of Black and Brown family music. I love his this music speaks to families today.” Adds co-producer Shawana (“Shine”) Kemp, “This project is a step in the direction of equity for Black family music artists.”
Crayon Kids by Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band
This album of bilingual original songs represents new directions for Lucky Diaz and his Los Angeles-based musical group. Diaz, who with his band have won a Latin GRAMMY for past work, explains, “When we started the Family Jam Band, we wanted to continually evolve. The project has always been about being fun and original. It then turned into a cultural journey for me as a Mexican-American, creating songs that are rooted in my Pocho and Latinx identity.”
Actívate by 123 Andrés
Andrés Salguero and Christina Sanabria (who have also won a Latin GRAMMY for their children’s music in past years) said today, “We are completely humbled, particularly because the other nominees are incredible. First of all, congratulations to all of the other nominees. Thank you to all of our peers. The people who voted for children’s music are people who know the genre. We work hard to not only make great music but to treat people right and to share a love of music. Gracias to our amazing team and artists in so many countries who made Actívate possible. Te quiero mucho.”
