Rosalía Dominates III Premios de la Academia de la Música

Her sweep of major categories underlined the televised IFEMA gala’s push to showcase Spain’s regional scenes and strengthen the academy as a national music reference.

Overview

  • Rosalía, which swept the ceremony Tuesday, won Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for Lux, Song of the Year for "La perla", Producer of the Year and Best Videoclip.
  • The Academy published a complete winners list showing roughly 44–45 awards across genres, with Joan Manuel Serrat honored with the Premio de Honor.
  • Several high-profile nominees did not attend the gala and many of Rosalía’s prizes were accepted in her absence; the culture minister was also absent and Francina Armengol represented official backing.
  • Winners reflected broad genre and regional reach, including Guitarricadelafuente, Lia Kali, Leiva, Leonor Watling and multiple Galician awards for Tanxugueiras, Luz Casal and Baiuca.
  • Organizers framed the third edition, broadcast on La 2 and RTVE Play from IFEMA, as evidence the Academy is consolidating a national platform for unity, visibility and wider industry recognition.
