\n\tOne of the most anticipated categories at the Latin Grammys is Best New Artist<\/a>. In the past, the once-in-a-lifetime award has gone to people who have gone on to become major stars: Puerto Rican disruptors Calle 13, Colombian superstar Karol G<\/a>, and Mexican singer-songwriter Silvana Estrada<\/a>. Recent winners include Venezuelan prodigy Joaquina<\/a>, Bogot\u00e1-based pop girl Ela Taubert<\/a>, and Mexico City\u2019s alt-star Paloma Morphy<\/a>. For the 2026 ceremony, which takes place on Nov. 12 in Las Vegas, 11 upstarts from Latin America, the U.S., and Spain are hoping to take the honor next.<\/p>\n \n\tWith 11 nominees this year instead of the usual 10, Rolling Stone <\/em>caught up with four of the promising nominees ahead of the biggest night in Latin music. We spoke to Aria Vega, who is bringing the sound of Colombia\u2019s Caribbean coast to the mainstream; rising Mexican-American singer Delilah, who has been blending genres with ease; Fabian, the son of Peruvian icon Gian Marco, who is blazing his own trail; and Mexican-Swedish maverick Sofia Monroy.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\n\t\tAria Vega\t<\/h2>\n
