Nando Boom triumphs at Premio Lo Nuestro!

New York, February 21, 2026 – Legendary Panamanian artist Nando Boom, a key figure in the transition from Spanish-language reggae to reggaeton, continues to make his mark on the international scene after winning the award for Best Dembow Song at Premio Lo Nuestro 2026, alongside Natti Natasha, for his latest single “Dem Bow.”

The track was not only recognized by the industry, but also reached the No. 1 spot in the United States in January, establishing itself as one of the genre’s biggest hits so far this year. The single’s promotional campaign was led directly by Nando Boom, who embraced an independent advertising strategy to bring his music to new international audiences.

Recognized as a foundational influence in the urban movement, Billboard recently ranked Nando Boom No. 17 on its list of the greatest reggaeton artists of all time, reaffirming his historic impact and continued relevance after more than four decades of career success, chart-topping hits, and international collaborations.

The artist is currently preparing the release of his upcoming album, Nando Boom Reloaded, scheduled for May 2026, as well as a special collaboration with Rubén Blades, set to premiere soon.

In May, Nando Boom will kick off his U.S. tour, beginning with performances in Los Angeles, Toronto (Canada), and New York, bringing his legacy, energy, and signature sound to new generations.
