Pablo Alborán, the eternal nominee
Among the Spanish artists who have not yet managed to bring to the national territory, a golden gramophone stands out Pablo Alborán, whom some have come to point out as a victim of the “curse of the Grammys“, since the Academia Latina has nominated him from Málaga about twenty times, but has never awarded him. Of course, this fact can change this 2022, as Pablo competes again in these awards to try to win the Record of the Year award for Castillo de Arena.
