Musical artist
Óscar Armando Díaz de León Huez, known professionally as Carín León, (born 26 July 1989) is a Mexican singer-songwriter who specializes in regional Mexican music.
Career
León began playing the guitar at the age of 15. His first band was Los Reales, before founding Grupo Arranke with four friends in 2010. The group gained traction with their song "A Través del Vaso". He was a member of Grupo Arranke for seven years, until starting a solo career in 2018. His career took off with his solo version of "A Través del Vaso". His other songs "Me La Avente" and "Tú", a cover of the 1999 song by Noelia, both charted on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs, Latin Airplay, and Regional Mexican Airplay charts.[2] In 2021, he also released a cover of "More Than Words" by Extreme and later a version of "Moscas en la Casa" by Shakira, which was part of his album Pistiembre Todo El Año.[3]
During the global shutdown of major venues and concert halls due to the COVID-19 pandemic, León pivoted into podcasts, alternative radio and emerging platforms for greater distribution. This was also in large part thanks to the dramatic overall increase in interest in regional Mexican music globally, as noted by Spotify.[4] León appeared on NPR's 'Tiny Desk' on September 19, 2022.[5]
On April 14, 2024, León debuted at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California during its first weekend.[11] Six days later, he was presented with the key to the City of Coachella by the city council.[12] The next day, León again performed at the Coachella Festival during its second weekend.[13] On April 26, León debuted at Coachella's country music-themed sister festival, Stagecoach.[14]
