What happens when Christian Nodal, a star of Regional Mexican music, and Gera MX, an up-and-coming Mexican rapper, collaborate on a breakup anthem?
They create “Botella Tras Botella” (Bottle After Bottle) and earn the first regional Mexican single to debut on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in its 64-year history and three Latin American Music Award nominations for viral song of the year, collaboration of the year and regional Mexican favorite song.
The duo will perform their hit at The Latin AMA’s Thursday, broadcast live from Las Vegas. The seventh annual awards show ceremony will be air on Telemundo at 8 p.m. ET.
“Fans can expect pure energy, we’re going to tear up the stage,” Nodal, who will be honored with the Extraordinary Evolution Award, says of the performance.
Nodal, 23, who boasts over 8 million followers on Instagram, isn’t a stranger to the star power, and Gera, 27, is well on his way — with five total Latin AMA nominations, including new artist of the year.
It wasn’t long after meeting that the two musicians became friends. “I remember perfectly the day we met, I gave (Gera) my necklaces and told him, ‘Brother, you’re going to make it big.
