About:
iLe is the stage name of singer and songwriter Ileana Mercedes Cabra Joglar. Before undertaking a solo career she was best known as a singer with Calle 13 under her nickname PG-13. (She is Visitante's [Eduardo Cabra ] sister, and Residente's [Rene Perez] sister.) iLe's sound changes from release to release, but it's rooted in classic Latin styles. Her 2016 solo debut offering, iLevitable, looked back to deliver a meticulously crafted set of boleros and folk-inspired retro-pop songs that showcased her old-school singing. It earned her a Latin Grammy nomination for best new artist, and won a Grammy for BEST LATIN ROCK, URBAN OR ALTERNATIVE ALBUM. 2019's ALMADURA contrasted it with its predecessor by its canny use of sonic experimentation with electronics and through Afro-Caribbean and traditional Puerto Rican root sounds. The album earned a Grammy Nomination for BEST LATIN ROCK, URBAN OR ALTERNATIVE ALBUM and Latin Grammy nomination for BEST ALTERNATIVE SONG, "Contra Todo". In 2020 iLe won a Latin Grammy for BEST ALTERNATIVE SONG "En Cantos", a collaboration with mexican singer Natalia Lafourcade.
