Elvis Martinez, a well-known international bachata performer, receives his first nomination for an award this year. The musician is a finalist for the 35th Premio Lo Nuestro, where he competes for his most recent album, "MI MUCHACHITA," in the category "Album of the Year-Tropical."

The 11-track compilation "Mi Muchachita," which was published in October 2022, features Prince Royce and previously released songs including "Pa Que Tu Me Llamas," "Saco e Sal," and "Veterana," which peaked at #1 on the Monitor Latino charts in the Dominican Republic. The album has garnered positive reviews from the general public since it captures the spirit of traditional bachata while also incorporating contemporary elements to appeal to younger listeners.

The fact that Elvis Martinez was nominated is a testament to the influence his music has had over the years of his commitment to the bachata genre. Martinez started his musical career in the middle of the 1990s, but he has kept up with the times and has since changed and adapted his sound to appeal to both new and old fans. His relevance in the music business is demonstrated by this acknowledgment.

The Premio Lo Nuestro for this year is scheduled on February 23 in Miami and will be live streamed on Univision. Visit www.premiolonuestro.com to cast your vote for Elvis Martinez.
