History
In 2009, they earned an honorable mention at Venezuela's prestigious Festival Nuevas Bandas.[1]
For their 2011 self-named album, the band collaborated with producer Carlos Imperatori and Latin Grammy winner Camilo Froideval,[2] recording across Caracas, Mexico City, and Texas' Sonic Ranch studio.[3]
Between late 2013 and February 2014, Charliepapa worked on new material with producers Carlos Imperatori, Rudy Pagliuca and Héctor Castillo. Released on 19 May 2015, Y/O was preceded by singles "Astrómetra" and "Merlina", followed by "Bengala", whose music video, filmed in Barcelona, Spain, paid homage to GoldenEye.[4]
At the 2015 Pepsi Music Awards, they won three trophies: Rock Artist of the Year, Rock Song of the Year ("Astrómetra"), and Best Video.[5][6] The album also earned two Latin Grammy nominations (Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song for "Astrómetra").[7][4][8]
