Carin León Earns a Superstar’s Welcome During His Grand Ole Opry Debut: ‘This Place Is Magical’

Carin León had the Grand Ole Opry crowd on its feet for the entirety of his three-song set, and earned an encore performance on Friday, Feb. 23.

Screams of adulation and a sea of cell phone lights greeted the León as he took the stage before a crowd that was on their feet and singing along with every (primarily Spanish) lyric he sang. Leon played his 2022 hit “No Es Por Aca,” followed with a solo version of “The One (Pero No Como Yo),” his duet with Kane Brown, which the pair debuted earlier in the week at the 2024 Premio Lo Nuestro. Since releasing a slate of live albums in 2018, followed by his full-length debut, El Malo, in 2019, León’s music has increasingly enveloped an array of sounds, among them folk, flamenco and country.
