Jorge Drexler is a Uruguayan musician and actor. Jorge Drexler won wide acclaim after becoming the first Uruguayan to win an Academy Award, which he won for composing the song “Al Otro Lado del Río” from The Motorcycle Diaries. Jorge Drexler has also been nominated numerous times at the Grammy Awards, for the albums Eco(2004), 12 Segundos de Oscuridad (2006), Cara B (2008), Bailar en la Cueva (2014), and Salvavidas de Hielo (2017); and received 5 Latin Grammy Awards, twice for Best Singer-Songwriter Album and Record of the Year and one for Song of the Year.
