For their work, the group has been nominated for a 2015 Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album and a 2014 Latin Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Tropical Album.[1] The PBS documentary 'Miami Boheme' which extensively featured PALO! along with other bands in the Miami music scene was won a 2014 Suncoast Chapter Emmy award for Cultural Documentary.[2]
