Israel & New Breed Win GRAMMY for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (FEBRUARY 02, 2026) 
This weekend at the 67th GRAMMY Awards, Israel & New Breed won Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for Coritos Vol. 1. This historic milestone marks the first Spanish-language album ever to be nominated, and now to win in this category. Featuring artists from seven countries, the album celebrates unity, faith, and Latin heritage.

Coritos Vol. 1 (District 11 and Integrity Music) was filmed and recorded primarily at Christian Church John 3:16 in the Bronx, New York City, just one year ago, capturing the energy, authenticity, and cross-cultural spirit of the Latin worship movement. What began as simple choruses sung in Spanish-speaking churches for decades as songs rooted in Scripture, faith, and memory has become a global worship expression that bridges cultures, nations, and generations.

The project highlights the shared passion of every participant, including Aaron Moses, Nate Diaz, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Lucia Parker, Miel San Marcos, Marcos Witt, Evan Craft, Unified Sound, Janina Rosado, Freddy Bailon, Claudette Bailon, Juan De La Cruz, and Coalo Zamorano.
This win is Israel Houghton’s eighth GRAMMY Award. Houghton also kicked off music’s biggest evening, performing the opening number of the 2026 GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony alongside fellow nominees Grace Potter, Lila Iké, Maggie Rose, and Trombone Shorty.
