His single “Antes que el tiempo se vaya,” a stellar collaboration with his compatriot Juanes, has managed to climb to the number one position on the Pop chart in the Dominican Republic, according to data provided by Monitor Latino. This radio success reaffirms the unbreakable connection the singer-songwriter maintains with the Dominican public, an audience that has always supported his musical proposals.
The track is the centerpiece of his eleventh studio album, a production that has been received with great enthusiasm by both specialized critics and his fans. The song stands out for its reflective message about the importance of love and making the most of time, elements that define the essence of this new creative stage for the artist.

The success of this production coincides with Fonseca’s recent Latin GRAMMY nomination in the Best Contemporary Tropical Album category. This recognition adds a new milestone to his record, having already accumulated 32 nominations throughout his career and nine golden gramophones to his name.
I receive this nomination with all the emotion and all the gratitude. This album means a lot in my career. It describes me just as I am at this moment in my life. I had the privilege of sharing with great masters who have been a great influence on my music and with a tremendous team of musicians.
FonsecaAn album full of meaning and collaborations
During his recent visit to Dominican territory, Fonseca shared that this album is a deeply personal work. Inspired by reflections on life and his daughter’s growth, the singer-songwriter emphasizes the need to honor time and health. Likewise, the album features a display of high-level collaborations, including names of the stature of Rubén Blades, Rawayana, Río Roma, Nampa Básico, and Manuel Medrano.
Regarding technological evolution in the industry, Fonseca was optimistic but firm about the essence of the composer: “I do not believe that artificial intelligence will come to replace that inspiration. I believe that artificial intelligence is meant to be a tool to be able to continue producing music.”
A special bond with the Dominican Republic
The singer of “Te mando flores” took the opportunity to recall the special affection he feels for the Dominican Republic, a country where he has been awarded the Soberano Prize. The artist highlighted that the influence of merengue and the constant support of the Dominicans have been fundamental pillars in his development as a musician.
Fonseca’s eleventh album is now available on all digital platforms, while fans eagerly await the 27th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards, which will take place on November 12, 2026, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
