Carlos Enrique Peña Aldana (born January 9, 1988 in
Guatemala City, Guatemala) is a Guatemalan singer and songwriter, winner of the 2nd season of Latin
American Idol.
Son of Hugo Peña and Nilsa Aldana de Peña, he is well known for being a modest person with great charisma.
Besides music, he practices various sports. When he was younger, he started participating in tennis tournaments in Guatemala City
where he also frequently sang to his friends for their amusement. He also joined the CSD
Municipal's lower divisions football team.
He was known to be extremely shy of singing in public, but this changed when his older brother Hugo (who lives in the USA), took
him to Los Angeles, CA where he got a chance to practice his singing by doing some Karaoke.
On September 26, he competed in the final round of Latin American Idol against Ricardo
Caballero from Mexico, both singing 3 songs. The next day, Carlos Peña became the
contest's winner after a 2 hour show, the same day as his mother's birthday.
This was his second year in LAI, but in 2006 he didn't pass the theater round.
