Latin Grammy Winner Bobby Pulido Visits With NVC Students
October 9, 2025
Northwest Vista College (NVC) hosted Tejano music icon Bobby Pulido on Oct. 9 for a discussion on his celebrated career, identity, and the cultural resonance of growing up on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Pulido, known for hits like "Desvelado," shared his powerful story of heritage and the importance of education, a narrative NVC instructors believed deeply connected with students who share similar backgrounds and ambitions.
"We were incredibly honored to have Bobby Pulido join us," said NVC Instructor and MAS Program Coordinator Lucero Saldaña. "His willingness to share his personal story provided an invaluable learning experience for our community."
The event was co-sponsored by the NVC student club Somos MAS. The student group La Autoridad performed before Pulido's discussion.
Pulido, who has been in the entertainment industry for over 29 years, is the son of Tejano legend Roberto Pulido. The entertainer has received multiple accolades, including a Latin Grammy for Best Tejano album in 2022. He currently boasts over 7.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify and is on his farewell tour. He also hosts the recently launched "Ranch Hall Podcast with Bobby Pulido."
Northwest Vista College, part of the Alamo Colleges District, opened in 1995 with 12 students and has grown to more than 22,000 students. Located in Westover Hills, NVC’s expanding agreements with business and higher education partnerships provide a wealth of opportunities for students and the community.
