With a story that could have come straight out of a movie, Macario became an overnight sensation after a viral TikTok promoting his single “sueña lindo, corazón” reminded an entire country that the world is full of talent and dreams to chase. His powerful story has already taken him and his music to Mexico’s most important stages, and his hit single now has accumulated over 21 million streams on Spotify and the official video has reached over 1 million views on YouTube. After his viral moment, Macario showcased his talent for some of Mexico’s biggest crowds at iconic festivals like Monterrey’s Festival Tecate Pal Norte and Mexico City’s Vive Latino, where he also shared a stage with local icons Little Jesus and Porter. In these shows, Macario captured the hearts of crowds and proved that “sueña lindo, corazón” is just one of many great songs in his growing repertoire.
