Latin pop boy band CNCO formed on season one of
La Banda
, the Spanish-language reality singing competition program created by Simon Cowell of
American Idol
and Latin American idol Ricky Martin. The five members went through several competition rounds with other singers before coming together at the finale with one another. The name was given to the band that night in reference to cinco, the Spanish word for five. A
Billboard
music critic compared CNCO to successful Latino groups like Salserín, Uff!, Menudo and Magneto in spearheading a new era of boy bands. The group opened for Ricky Martin on his 2016 One World Tour, Ariana Grande on her 2017 Dangerous Woman Tour and Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull on their shared 2017 tour.
''A young band by any measure, CNCO nonetheless has already won a bevy of awards, including six of seven 2016 Premios Juventud Awards, among them Voz del Momento, Mi Artista Pop Rock, the Producers Choice Award and Mi Tuitero Favorito. CNCO also won all three 2016 Latin American Music Awards for which it was nominated, those being Favorite Pop/Rock New Artist, Duo or Group and Xfinity New Artist of the Year. In 2017, the group won all three of the Premios Lo Nuestro Awards for which it was nominated, those being Pop/Rock Song, Album and Group or Duo of the Year. It also won three out of four Billboard Latin Music Awards for which it was nominated, including Artist of the Year Debut and both Latin Pop Songs and Albums Artist of the Year. The group won the iHeartRadio Music Awards in 2017 for Best New Latin Artist and 2018 for Best Remix. In 2019, CNCO won all three of the Billboard Latin Music Awards for which it was nominated, those being Latin Pop Artist of the Year, Duo or Group, Latin Pop Album of the Year and Latin Rhythm Artist of the Year, Duo or Group. CNCO has also won or been nominated for BreakTudo Awards, Tudo Information Awards, The Pop Hub Awards, Premios Tu Mundo, Teen Choice Awards, People's Choice Awards, Latin Grammy Awards and Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in several countries.
