Macario Martínez nominated for Best New Artist at 2026 Latin Grammys

Mexican singer-songwriter Macario Martínez has received a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2026 Latin Grammy Awards. The 25-year-old artist will compete for the award at the ceremony held on November 12, 2026, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Martínez’s rise to prominence followed the viral success of his track ‘sueña lindo, corazón’, which has surpassed 34 million streams. His debut studio album, ‘Si Mañana Ya No Estoy’, released in late 2025, explores themes of existentialism and memory through 11 tracks. His musical style has recently evolved from Mexican folklore toward a pop/rock sensibility influenced by artists ranging from José José to indie acts like Mac DeMarco.

Following the announcement, Martínez expressed his gratitude to his fans via social media, noting his surprise and excitement. His recent professional milestones include performing for NPR’s Tiny Desk, contributing to the soundtrack of the HBO series ‘The Last of Us’, and completing a solo tour in the United States.
