It was known that they were going to be at the gala (in fact, they were collecting the award for Social Commitment) but it was a very emotional surprise that the Aragonese Music Awards gala will begin with Ixo Rai! interpreting his song A country. And a whole declaration of intent that what was going to be vindicated in Alagón that night was Aragonese music. And, in it, two figures stood out above all, Kase.O (Direct and Group) and Copiloto (Song for Love and the world and Videoclip), who were the winners of the night by taking two awards each. Precisely Copiloto starred in one of the magical moments of the night with her performance together with Erin Memento, an artist who received the award for Best Epé for Fire in the garden. And it’s that performing at the gala was practically synonymous with getting an award, as was the case with Delacueva, who played and also won the award in that category with his self-titled album. Kase.O celebrates one of the awards with which he was recognized last night in Alagón. | ÁNGEL BURBANO Bunbury, for his part, absent from the gala as expected, once again won the award for best soloist, thus completing the circle of the night’s most important awards. Many awards But there were many more, for example, the one that Tachenko received for the production of Las discos de la tarde, the one that Rock & Blues won as the best room or the one for El Bosque Sonoro for its programming. Nuei also made the claim by taking over the sculpture to song in the native language with País perdiu. “This is not a competition, it is not a sport, nor am I better than anyone, but it is nice that they give you an award,” said Javier Almazán when he received the award for best song. And that was precisely the spirit that reigned throughout the gala this Thursday since, as has become customary lately, the prizes were widely distributed and the camaraderie among all the artists stood out at the gala held by the Aragón Musical collective. Vetusta Morla also had her Aragonese Music Award. | GOVERNMENT OF ARAGÓN In addition to Vetusta Morla (global award for Aragonese music), more people close to Alagón wanted to highlight the role of this town in music. From Marcos Sanmartín from Arena Rock Producciones, a musician father, to Mariano Bazco, Carlos Higueras and Nuria Pequerul, from the program Radio A la fresco on Aragón Radio, who extensively reviewed their musical scene, ending with the presentation of the Special Category for Agitation to the from Alagoas Laughter Records / Alternative Management. It was quite a surprise for Daniel Sancet and his team, who had supposedly come to present one of the trophies of the sculptor José Azul. Although, without a doubt, the most emotional moment of the night was when they paid tribute to Ricardo Gabarre Junco, who was very grateful that the organization decided to reward him after a very long career. The gala was conducted by Irene Alquézar and Luis Cebrián who placed it in a humorous tone that was not abandoned throughout the night.
