Majo Aguilar has been immersed in an exciting period of creativity and collaboration, balancing new music releases, a tour, and meaningful partnerships. Her upcoming album, Mariachi Tumbado, will be unveiled one song at a time, with a fresh track dropping every month until the full album release in April. The first single, a unique cover of Belanova’s “Aún Así Te Vas,” showcases her innovative twist on mariachi, blending traditional instrumentation with modern, laid-back elements. Aguilar expressed her pride in this experimental sound, which she describes as heartfelt and authentic, a labor of love that took months to perfect.
Her work is gaining industry recognition, as Aguilar is up for two nominations at the 2024 Latin Grammys: Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album for Mariachi y Tequila (Deluxe) and Best Regional Mexican Song for “Canción Para Olvidarte.” She views the nominations as a profound honor, especially since they place her alongside icons like Mariachi Sol de México, her uncle Pepe Aguilar, and Alejandro Fernández. “Just being nominated is already a tremendous award,” she said, emphasizing the support from fellow artists and the Latin music community.
Recently, Aguilar took the stage at Billboard Latin Music Week’s 35th-anniversary celebration in Miami, with her performance sponsored by Smirnoff ICE. Her collaboration with the brand led to the "Cultura a Tu Manera" video series, where she explored the richness of Latino culture through food, music, and fashion. Aguilar shared that the campaign felt particularly meaningful as it allowed her to connect with her heritage and celebrate her identity. She highlighted the importance of cultural connections, especially for Latinos worldwide who often seek ties to their roots through shared traditions.
As Aguilar continues to release music, tour, and engage with fans, her passion for her craft and culture is clear. With her monthly releases leading up to Mariachi Tumbado and her growing influence in the Latin music scene, 2024 is set to be a defining year for the talented singer.
