After two years of virtual ceremonies, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Gardel Awards once again had their big face-to-face party. Happy to meet again to celebrate the best of music, the celebrities dressed up, walked the red carpet and chatted with the press.
The guests began to arrive at the Movistar Arena around 8:00 p.m. After entering the entrance hall, they posed in front of the cameras of the photographers present at the scene and enthusiastically spent time talking to the media that awaited their arrival.
The musician spoke of his collaborations with young artists, which he defined as a ping-pong of creativity. Regarding the boom of Argentine artists abroad, he said: “I discovered that there is a generation that was able to adopt the tools with which they grew up. With social media, they naturally go viral and global. We had to fight it but they have a language that is exporting the Argentine music of this generation”. And he named his favorites: “I have several favorites: Rusherking, the MYA, L-Ghent. There are a lot of people I love very much.”
