This past week, rising music sensation Kapo was honored with the Breakthrough Artist of the Year award at the 2025 Heat Latin Music Awards, held in Medellín, Colombia. The recognition marks another major milestone in what has already been a banner year for the urban afrobeat artist.
Earlier this year, Kapo also won the same category at the 2025 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, proving that his momentum is not just a wave—it’s a movement.
Known for his infectious energy, genre-blending sound, and viral hits like “Ohnana” and “Qué Pecao” (a collaboration with Manuel Turizo), Kapo has quickly become one of the most talked-about new voices in Spanish-language music. His rise reflects a growing global audience that connects with his originality, rhythm, and bold artistic vision.
With two of the most prestigious newcomer awards under his belt, Kapo is no longer an emerging name—he’s a force to be reckoned with.
