Rafa Cano and Conchita gave the following distinction to Vanesa Martín, who with her ‘Who would say it’ gave way to the following awards for Blas Cantó and Beret.
With his desire that “music not be a matter of a moment but that it accompany us for a longer time”, the rapper from Seville lit up the venue with the public’s mobile phones with his ‘Stolen kiss’.
Antonio Orozco collected his tenth Dial Award with emotion for the “months of uncertainty” that he has gone through due to his voice problems for which he had to undergo surgery on his vocal cords.
Although he confirmed that “everything is fine”, he asked the public to accompany him with his “I’m made of bits of you”, which was undoubtedly one of the best moments of the gala.
Álvaro Soler took his first Dial Award and made Santa Cruz dance with his ‘Candela’ and ‘La Cintura’. And from Latin pop to rock because the next to collect the statuette were the members of Sidecar, who dedicated the achievement to “the boys and girls who are in their garage trying to have a music group.”

“To those who do things without going to the result, with their heart, to the songs that have brought us here and I think they are the ones that make you come to see us,” declared a Martín who could not contain his tears watching a congratulatory video in which personalities such as Alejandro Sanz, Fernando Torres, Aitana, Rulo, Iván Ferreiro, Leiva, Camilo or Ginebras participated.
The Colombian Sebastián Yatra took over with the collection of the Dial Latino Award and it didn’t take long for him to drive the audience crazy with ‘Una noche sin pensar’ and ‘Ojos marrones’, the latter a duet with the Venezuelan Lasso.

After an “impasse” with Edurne’s ‘Strawberries and champagne’, Fangoria added his second Premio Dial and added a brilliant electronic touch with ‘Un poco de todo’.
And from the march of Alaska and Nacho, to the ballad by Andrés Suárez, who recalled his beginnings in music from precisely the Cuadrilátero de La Laguna 20 years ago, when he already sang to the Tenerife public that today celebrated his success with ‘Será’ .
Nia from Gran Canaria, who had her island audience in her pocket from the beginning of the gala, dazzled with ‘Caminito de Lamento’ and Carlos Baute closed the distribution of awards with a statuette that recognized more than 30 years of musical career.
