León performed his new duet with Kane Brown, “The One (Pero No Como Yo),” which they premiered live at the Premio Lo Nuestro awards on Thursday (Feb. 22). The song is set for release Feb. 29.

Brown and Grammy-winning soul singer Leon Bridges were in the audience for León’s Opry debut, which had the crowd on their feet for the entire special evening and for the performance encore.

León continues his rapid ascent after a huge year, which included a Latin Grammy win for Best Norteño Album for Colmillo de Leche and the release of two hit singles, with “Primera Cita” and “Según Quién,” each charting top 25 on Spotify and top 30 on Billboard Global 200. Following his Nashville stop, León will make history as the first Spanish-language act to play both Stagecoach and Coachella this April.
