Aguilar will also sit down for an exclusive Icon Q&A at Billboard Latin Music Week on Monday, October 14.

Pepe Aguilar has captivated audiences worldwide with his unique blend of traditional Mexican sounds and contemporary elements. With over 15 million records sold, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the distinction of being the first Mexican artist featured at the Grammy Museum, his impact on the music industry is undeniable.
His “Jaripeo Hasta Los Huesos 2024” tour has enjoyed great success across the U.S. with its spectacular fusion of Mexican rodeo, music, and Cirque du Soleil-style performances. Joined by his children, Ángela and Leonardo Aguilar, this family legacy shines on the U.S. stage. The tour is now expanding globally, with a highly anticipated show in Bogotá, Colombia, marking its first stop in South America.
This year has been a momentous one for Pepe Aguilar, not only with the release of his critically acclaimed album Que Llueva Tequila, but also with his groundbreaking debut on national English-language television. In 2024, he performed twice on Jimmy Kimmel’s outdoor stage and had an unforgettable interview and performance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, cementing his presence across broader audiences. The album, praised by Billboard as “a defining work that bridges tradition and modernity,” continues to demonstrate his relentless innovation and commitment to the evolution of música mexicana.
The Billboard Hall of Fame Award celebrates a career that goes beyond musical performance and takes into account the incredible influence the recipient enjoys as an artist globally in multiple fields. Reserved for artists who have achieved worldwide recognition and transcended musical genres and languages, previous winners of this coveted award include Jose Jose, Vicente Fernandez, Rocio Durcal, Marco Antonio Solis, Mongo Santamaria, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, Banda El Recodo, Joan Sebastian, Marc Anthony, Franco de Vita, and Alejandro Fernandez.
