Miami, FL – June 5, 2026 – Grupo Niche adds a new recognition to its legacy after winning in the Tropical Song category at Premios Tu Música Urbano Mix 2026 with “La Tierra del Olvido (Salsa Version),” its collaboration with Carlos Vives. The ceremony took place this Thursday, June 4, at the Coca-Cola Music Hall in Distrito T-Mobile in San Juan, Puerto Rico, bringing together leading figures from Latin music, producers, songwriters and industry representatives.
The award celebrates a collaboration between two pillars of Colombian music: Carlos Vives’ Caribbean universe and Grupo Niche’s salsa power. In this version, “La Tierra del Olvido” takes on a new tropical dimension, where Colombia’s identity, memory and sonic richness meet the unmistakable imprint of one of the most important salsa groups in the world.
The night also held special meaning for Grupo Niche, which took part in the gala as a presenter and joined Carlos Vives and Sergio George on stage, reaffirming the presence of salsa within an awards show that recognizes the reach and evolution of Latin music. This moment follows its recent live reunion with Vives on May 23 at Miami’s Kaseya Center, strengthening a collaboration that continues to connect generations through Colombian music.
The recognition comes during a highly active chapter for Grupo Niche. The group recently released Más Que Palabras, its new studio album, a nine-track production of original songs that presents a contemporary look at its essence: the strength of the ensemble, collective identity and the sonic evolution of salsa. Created under the musical direction of José Aguirre and the general direction of Yanila Varela, the project features performances by vocalists Luis Araque, Álex Torres, Alejandro Íñigo and Fito Echeverría, consolidating a collective voice that honors Niche’s history while projecting its sound into the present.
In parallel, Grupo Niche continues to bring its music to international stages as part of its global Niche Disco Tour 2026. The group is set to perform across the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Switzerland, Spain and Peru in the coming months, with standout dates including its participation alongside Nathy Peluso at Salsa Spectacular on July 15 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and its highly anticipated October 31 concert at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, where South Florida audiences will experience a night dedicated to salsa, celebration and the musical evolution of a group that continues to shape the history of Latin music.
