Mexican singer-songwriter Macario Martínez has been nominated for Best New Artist at the 2026 Latin Grammy Awards. The nomination follows his rapid rise to prominence, driven by the viral success of his track ‘sueña lindo, corazón’. 

Martínez’s career is marked by a significant transition from working as a street sweeper for the Mexico City government to becoming a recognized musical talent.
