Gabriel Pagán celebrates his second Latin Grammy 2026 nomination
Renowned Dominican artist Gabriel Pagán is celebrating after receiving his second Latin Grammy 2026 nomination. On this occasion, the performer has been recognized in the Best Merengue/Bachata Album category thanks to his latest record production titled No era el plan.
For Pagán, this recognition represents a significant milestone in his musical career, reaffirming his ability to connect with the public through a universal language. The singer recalled that his first foray into these awards occurred in 2017 with his album Contra Corriente, which competed in the Best Contemporary Tropical Album category.
I receive this blessing in a very special way. It is an album that, as its name suggests, No era el plan (It wasn’t the plan), was born organically and has the privilege of collaborations from great masters and colleagues such as Ilegales, Vladimir Dotel, Nelson Zapata from Proyecto Uno, Eddy Herrera, and Manny Cruz.

The singer emphasized that, although the nominations are welcome, his greatest satisfaction lies in the possibility of continuing to deliver music that resonates with the feelings of his audience.
