Faced with uncertainties and restrictions, nothing like concluding with "Volando Voy" a gala, that of the MIN Awards, which was one of the first victims of the pandemic and which tonight has finally crowned its winners, among them,

Novedades Carminha, Rodrigo Cuevas

and the author of the aforementioned piece,

Kiko Veneno.

The most Andalusian Catalan attended the ceremony to act and receive the

Mario Pacheco

honor award

for his entire career, but he has left it with another award, that of best album for his

"Broken Hat",

of which he has come to sound the subject "Obvious".

"My house is tarnished right now to continue composing songs, but I consider myself

privileged by the recognition and affection.

If I had succeeded younger, it would have generated more envy, so I am grateful for having made it out of moderate wood," he said between the sarcasm and modesty the ex-member of Veneno.

Since the MINs postponed their original celebration "sine die" on March 11, the applicants and winners have spent

more than 7 months waiting to know what was voted

by a professional jury after the previous screening of the public mobilized by the Phonographic Union Independent (UFI), the one that publishes the most news year after year (about 3,000 references).

For its celebration in times of COVID-19, it has had to resort to an exclusively television and canned formula through # 0 of Movistar +, under the leadership of the actress and singer

Leonor Watling

and the presenter of the

Arturo Paniagua

chain

from the set of his program, "Sesiones Movistar".

It has been a night of surprises in the results, as the Galician

Novedades Carminha have prevailed over the main nominees

(the musicians Rodrigo Cuevas and Kase.O and the group Viva Sweden) and only Kiko Veneno has prevented them from completing the four categories to which they attended.

Yes they have risen as "best artist", "best live" and "best pop album" for "Ultraligero".

"It is a super nice award because 'pop' comes from popular and in this era in which they have us with high ego and low self-esteem, competing for 'likes' and for 'views', we made

a record to be able to dance to it with colleagues embraced ",

thanked Carlangas, one of the members of the quartet, after underlining that they also understand it" as a prize for a way of understanding music. "

Rodrigo Cuevas

has not left empty

,

who has materialized two of the six awards to which he aspired, those of "best emerging artist" (curious inclusion considering his long journey) and "best album of world music and fusion" for "Manuel de cortejo", which will remain as one of the outstanding albums of the year for its daring and originality.

"I would have liked to be nominated in the

category of music in Asturian,

but it does not exist," he claimed with his usual self-confidence.

It has also been a special night for

Anni B. Sweet,

who has seen how her leap into Spanish on the album "Universo por premiere" was distinguished by its production (that of James Bagshaw) and, above all, by the "song of the year "," Good trip ", which as revealed" was not going to be included "in it.

Regarding the rest of the styles, there have also been trophies for

Kase

.O for the album "Remixes and gifts" (in the urban music category), Cala Vento for "Balanceo" (rock), Las Migas for "Cuatro" (flamenco), Zenet for "La Guapería" (jazz), Califato 3/4 for "Puerta de la Cânne" (electronic) and Raquel Andueza & la Galanía for "El baile perdido" (classical music).

Furthermore, "Aitzstar" by

Niña Coyote eta Chico Tornado

has won the award for the best album in Basque, "Per la Bona Gent" by Manel for the best album in Catalan and "Segundo Fogar" by Os Amigos Dos Musicos, in Galician.

"Con las ganas (2009 version)" by Zahara has been chosen the "best video clip", "Nacer en Marte" by Lidia Damunt has been awarded the "best graphic design" and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have taken to Australia the award for the best international artist.

In an edition especially dedicated to all sectors of the music industry hit by the pandemic,

live music could not be dispensed with,

with performances from different emblematic points of the Spanish geography taking place under the premise that "culture is safe".

News Carminha have made the Metropol studios of Madrid their own in a nod to artists and labels, the new phenomenon of urban music

Aleesha has done the same with the Apolo hall in Barcelona

in defense of concert halls and, finally, Guitarricadelafuente has taken alone the Plaza del Trigo de Aranda de Duero, cradle of Sonorama, for all the festivals canceled or reduced in 2020.

"We were the first to leave and

we will be the last to return,"

recalled Carla Varona, president of UFI, before reproaching the Government and public institutions for the "insufficient measures" taken in their defense and that they are undervalued as "nightlife" .

And in that territory, also from Kiko Veneno some fundamental words have come about the role of culture in this entire crisis:

"We are the transmitters of hope."
