From Rauw Alejandro to Feid, these are the Latin artists leading the next wave of sound.
Latin music is getting shown a lot of love at the 2026 Grammy Awards. While Bad Bunny continues to make history at the awards, there’s another wave of Latin acts that are ready to take Spanish-language music to the next level.
Bad Bunny is the most nominated Latin act at next year’s ceremony with six nominations. The Puerto Rican superstar, who has previously won three Grammys, is making history with his nominations in three major categories. For the first time in a single year at the Grammys, Spanish-language music is nominated in the Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year categories. Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos is up for the top prize while “DtMF” competes in two other categories. Only two Spanish-language LPs have ever been nominated for Album of the Year: Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti and Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
Karol G is another Latin juggernaut who is nominated at next year’s Grammy Awards. The Colombian superstar won her very first Grammy Award at last year’s ceremony in the Best Música Urbana Album category for Mañana Será Bonito. Karol G also made history as the first woman to win in that category. With her showgirl-inspired Tropicoqueta album, she is competing in the Best Latin Pop Album category. Now Uproxx is looking at standout Latin acts who could potentially win their first Grammy next year. Whether they walk away with a golden gramophone or not, each nominee is reshaping Latin music in their own way.
