On Saturday night at the Brit Awards ceremony at Co-Op Live, Spanish singer Rosalía was named 'International Artist of the Year'. This event was historic, as reported by the Argentine News Agency, as in the nearly 50-year history of the awards, no Spanish artist had received this recognition. Rosalía broke this 'tradition', becoming the first performer from Spain to win the award. The singer took the stage with an updo hairstyle and a red dress to accept the honor. In her brief speech, she thanked everyone, emphasizing the importance of defending Spanish music and cultural diversity. 'It is an honor to be able to take my music abroad,' she said, while also acknowledging the work of other artists who create in Spanish and calling to 'celebrate the different cultures and languages'. Rosalía also delivered one of the most spectacular performances of the night. She performed 'Berghain', the first single from her new album, in a reinvented version that began with a lyrical introduction accompanied by an orchestra and evolved into an electronic style. The stage, set up as a cube in the center of the venue, provided the backdrop for the surprise appearance of Björk, who joined to sing some iconic verses in a collaboration that combined experimentation, vocal power, and a futuristic outfit from the Icelandic singer. The award and the performance solidified her status as an international artist, although in recent months she has minimized her public appearances. The Manchester show was a prelude to her world tour, which begins on March 16 in Lyon and includes eight dates in Spain, with stops in Madrid and Barcelona.
