Rosalía seeks to revalidate in the European MTV awards

With five nominations, Rosalia will try to revalidate this Sunday his status as an international star at MTV’s Europe Music Awards (EMA) against the main candidate, Harry Stylesat a gala that will feature performances by muse Y David Guettaamong others.

It will be on the banks of the Rhine in the stately capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, in Düsseldorf, Germany, a city that the astronaut who serves as an effigy for these popular musical awards had never set foot in but which already proved its solvency in this type of event more than of a decade when it hosted the festivities of Eurovision 2011.

Precisely two MTV awards, those awarded to the best Latin video and best choreography for “Con Altura” in the branch of these awards held in the United States, the Video Music Awards (VMA), They were the ones who only three years ago began to crystallize the true scope of Rosalía in the global imagination after the release of “El mal querer” (2018).

Since then, the Spanish has not done badly in the galas of this chain, at least in those organized on the other side of the Atlantic, where it accumulates a total of four, including the best collaboration with billie eilish at the 2021 VMAs and the best video editing for “Saoko” at the VMAs held last August.

In the absence of knowing if he will also finally leave his mark at the Europe Music Awards, his attendance at the event is not planned, nor is that of the rest of the main candidates for kings of the night, see the aforementioned Harry Styles (with 7 nominations), Taylor Swift (with six) and Nicki Minaj (with five).

Bad Bunny and other Puerto Ricans is among the nominees

The Spanish-speaking representation among the nominees does not stop at Rosalía, since the Puerto Rican bad bunny could achieve with “I behave pretty” together with Chencho Corleone the EMA for the best collaboration of the year, just like his compatriot Raww Alexander and the Colombian Shakira with “I congratulate you”.

In addition, awards will be given in the categories of “Best Latin Artist” (with Rosalía, Anitta, Bad Bunny, Becky G, J Balvin Y Shakira as candidates) and “Best Spanish artist” (again with the name of the Catalan among the applicants against Quevedo, Fito & Fitipaldis, Bad Gyal Y Daniel Fernandez).

the music artist Rita prays and the actor, screenwriter and director Taika Waititi will take the reins of a “show” that from the PSD Bank Dome will host performances this year by a large number of emerging artists such as Gayle along with more well-known names such as MuseDavid GuettaOneRepublicAva Max either lewis capaldi.

Gorillaz will help raise the level of this twenty-ninth edition with a guarantee of good music. The music band Damon Albarn Apart from Blur, it will be in charge of warming up the engines from this Saturday with a concert behind closed doors at the Tonhalle Düsseldorf, an extract of which can be seen during tomorrow’s award ceremony.

The winners of Eurovision 2022 will also be there, the Ukrainians Kalush Orchestra, at a time when his country’s conflict with Russia is still active. Their political proclamations marked the gala of the last European festival and it would not be surprising if the group took the floor again taking advantage of this privileged platform of the EMAs that will take place from 9:00 pm (4:00 pm Puerto Rico).

In fact, MTV has announced that it will pay tribute to the humanitarian work carried out by three strong Ukrainian women who fight every day to help the refugees affected by the humanitarian crisis that is devastating the country.
