Jorge Drexler Triumphs at the Latin GRAMMYsⓇ with Two Awards for His Powerful Song "Derrumbe"
Jorge Drexler continues to make history at the Latin GRAMMYs®. At the 25th edition of the awards, Drexler received recognition from the Academy members, who declared that "Derrumbe" was not only the Best Singer-Songwriter Song but also Song of the Year.
"I want to thank the Academy for taking away this imposter syndrome I've always had, of feeling that a song like this, sad and small, could be among so many people I admire in this category," said the Uruguayan singer-songwriter upon receiving the Grammy for Song of the Year, an award he also dedicated to his father, Gunther Drexler, who passed away earlier this month in Montevideo.
This is the third time Drexler has won one of the main categories of the night, Song of the Year. He previously won with "Tocarte" with C Tangana in 2022 and "Telefonía" in 2018. "Derrumbe" is a song Drexler created as the conclusion to the compositional journey that led to his album Tinta y Tiempo. The song arrived at the awards ceremony with three nominations, including Record of the Year.
Produced by Rafa Arcaute and Federico Vindver, alongside Drexler, "Derrumbe" is a song just over two minutes long, with guitar and voice as the main elements. The single carries the signature of Drexler's classic sound, listing and describing the breakdown of a relationship, reviewing the most everyday elements.
