Ayer,
domingo 26 de enero, desde mucho antes de que comenzara la gala de los GRAMMY, a través de las redes sociales ya se revelaban los
nombres de los primeros ganadores del preciado galardón de la música.
Sí,
súper emocionante para los fans y seguidores de cada uno de esos artistas; sin embargo, lo
verdaderamente maravilloso se produjo en el Staples Center de Los Ángeles, en California, donde se llevó a cabo
la entrega de los Premios GRAMMY 2020.
No
estuve allí, pero tuve la oportunidad de ver el evento en vivo junto a mi mamá, Digna Espinoza, a través del canal de televisión TNT, pero solo hasta minutos después de
la presentación de Aerosmith porque la señal de cable no cooperó.
Pero
bueno. Confieso que aluciné con lo que logré ver; incluso, hasta lloré con el
tributo al basquetbolista Kobe Bryant
por parte de Alicia Keys y Boyz II Men; y posteriormente, por las
palabras de Keys inspiradas en la música
y su canción inspirada en varios de
sus homólogos. Eso fue mágico, la verdad.
Por
otra parte, imposible que deje de mencionar las presentaciones; entre ellas, las de artistas que por primera vez
veía en escena y que me encantaron (Billie
Eilish y Lizzo), así como de otros
a los que admiro desde años (Gwen
Stefani –en sus tiempos como vocalista de No Doubt- Usher y Aerosmith).
Pero
ya está bueno de algunas de mis experiencias viendo por televisión la 62° entrega del GRAMMY 2020. Es momento de leer el nombre de los ganadores en las 84 categorías que es lo que te ha traído hasta aquí, ¿cierto?
