""A year and a half later, the now-34-year-old Karol G released \"Tropicoqueta,\" her fifth LP. The 20-track album spills over with so much abundant life - searing emotion and refined songcraft, winking humor and quaking bass, Latin music history and \"la hora loca\" of her Colombian community's block parties - that it stands in defiance of that near-miss with death.""
""\"Tropicoqueta\" is up for Latin pop album at the 2026 Grammys, where Karol G previously won for música urbana album in 2024. (She's a multiple winner at the Latin Grammys as well.) She also has a Coachella headline slot coming in April, making her the first Latina to top the world's most influential festival. And at an incredibly fraught moment for Latinos and Latin culture in the U.S., she's bringing a hemisphere's worth of history and hopes with her onstage.""
Karol G experienced a frightening in-flight emergency when smoke filled a private plane carrying 16 people shortly after takeoff from Burbank; pilots made an emergency landing in Van Nuys. Family members were aboard and confronted alarms and fear. A year and a half later, Karol G released Tropicoqueta, a 20-track fifth LP characterized by searing emotion, refined songcraft, humor, heavy bass and elements of Latin music history and Colombian block-party traditions. Tropicoqueta earned a 2026 Latin pop Grammy nomination. Karol G previously won a 2024 música urbana Grammy, holds multiple Latin Grammys, and will headline Coachella as the festival's first Latina headliner.
