For your Grammy® Consideration • ES AMOR • Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album.

Produced by Grammy Award–winning Beto Martinez and released on @otherly_love , Es Amor is a groove haven—a thrumming balm for hard days. Across ten tracks, tight, intricate arrangements bring son jarocho and cumbia together with psychedelic rock, contemporary jazz, and Afro-Cuban percussion in a distinctly Américan conversation, creating peaks and valleys meant to be met with hips, feet, hands, and hearts.

While writing the title track “Es Amor,” Chávez was struck by a melody that felt strangely familiar; weeks later, he discovered that his father had recorded that melody decades earlier. “Making this album together, each of us bringing our own stories and experiences, I couldn’t help but think of my father, of his melody, of everyone like him, then and now,” Chávez said. “Of people, immigrants, writing and singing love songs in the most brutal of circumstances, amidst power working to deny them their very humanity.” In turn, Dos Santos remind us of our linked stories and places and movements, and, in the face of overwhelming odds, of the urgency of renewed connection, and of what that feeling can sound like.

Equal parts dream and memory, spirit echo and migration story, this album’s core message—delivered with ánimo and style—love, in all its shades and surprise appearances, remains the most spirited, lasting response to a world marred by hate.
