MADRID, Spain (Top40 Charts) - The ceremony took place at the "Palacio Municipal de Congresos de Madrid" and was televised by La2 from TVE that same night.
It also makes us very pleased to share the success of ESTOPA in their visit to Latin America. On the 30th of April in presence of more than 3,200 spectators that packed the "Gran Rex Theater" of Buenos Aires (Argentina), ESTOPA offered the best of their both albums during a show that went on for two hours and in which they made the crowd dance, jump and sing. For sure, they made the audience forget at least for a moment the terrible situation their country is going through.
ESTOPA went on promotional tour the 1st of May to Chile. There they did several interviews that included radio shows, press and recorded two songs ("La raja de tu falda" and "Vino tinto") for the show "Venga Conmigo" that airs on TV 13.
