Posthumously and with the intention of repairing the lack of recognition and awards for his career as a performer, composer and creator, the award goes to the Alcoyan artist Camilo Blanes, known throughout the world as Camilo Sesto, for a
popular, massive, international, media musical career, which was also a pioneer in the composition of new aesthetic attitudes that were a paradigm of modernity and courage.
The wide dissemination of his work, both in Spain and in America, with almost 200 million albums, and dozens of number one hits, as well as his impressive adaptation and production of the musical
Jesus Christ Superstar, make him one of the most important and transcendent figures in music of the last 60 years.
