In this episode of Jrodconcerts: The Podcast, Jamie sits down with one of the most iconic figures in Latin music history: 5-time Latin GRAMMY® winner and 2026 GRAMMY® nominee, Andrés Cepeda. With a career spanning over three decades—from the pioneering rock of Poligamia to his latest award-winning album, Bogotá—Andrés has become a global ambassador for Colombian culture. Jrod and Andrés dive deep into the human stories behind the hits, discussing how a childhood stutter actually became a professional "hack" for his vocal clarity, and the surreal experience of fulfilling a lifelong dream by recording a posthumous duet with the legendary Celia Cruz. Whether you’ve followed him since "Mi Generación" or are discovering his romantic, genre-blending style for the first time, this conversation is a masterclass in creative longevity and staying true to your "why." In this episode, we discuss: The Legend Status: How Andrés reacts to being called an "icon" and what that responsibility feels like today. The "Hack": Overcoming a childhood stutter to become one of the clearest voices in the industry. Full Circle Moments: Meeting Celia Cruz as a child and eventually joining her on the track "Las Pilanderas." Bogotá as a Feeling: Why his latest album is a love letter to his roots and his people. Career Longevity: What drives him after 11 seasons of The Voice and 19 Latin GRAMMY® nominations. Catch Andrés Cepeda on his 2026 U.S. Tour! Starting May 10 in Chicago, Andrés will be hitting major stages including New York’s Beacon Theatre, the James L. Knight Center in Miami, and the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta.
