On October 24, Cali, Colombia will become the epicenter of music and art with the long-awaited Premios Cristo Rey gala. The ceremony, which will be held at the emblematic Jorge Isaacs Theater, will feature the presence of great artists such as Charrito Negro, Grupo Niche, Fruko, Dinkol Arroyo, Andrés Viafara from La Suprema Corte, Luis Alberto Posada, the Lebrón Brothers, Danny Marín, Gus Colon, Kandy Maku, Kim De los Santos among others.
A night that promises to bring together great exponents of the medium and new talents.
Since its founding in 2021, at a time of great uncertainty for the artistic world due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Premios Cristo Rey have worked tirelessly to position their brand both nationally and internationally. Its founder and CEO Sandra Rivera Robles, a distinguished professional with 27 years of experience in the artistic world, states that “the non-profit organization aims to honor great artists while they are still alive and recognize both promising young artists and established figures.” This objective has been met, since from its first edition the gala was a resounding success and marked a significant milestone as one of the first important events after the most critical period of the pandemic.
Recognizing Talent and Innovation
This year, the Cristo Rey Awards have expanded their scope, recognizing outstanding artists in diverse genres such as salsa, crossover, regional Mexican and Colombian, electronic, urban, and Pacific music. In addition, the best dance salsa schools, music lovers, foreign artists, industry entrepreneurs, announcers, online radio stations, groups, DJs, managers, influencers, presenters and other key figures who enrich entertainment in Santiago de Cali will be awarded.
Participation and New Initiatives
Voting for the 24 nomination categories is open through our website www.premioscristorey.com, where artists, media, DJs and journalists participate for the honor of being the winners of the Premios Cristo Rey.
In parallel, we have launched the Spotlight On Premios Cristo Rey podcast, an innovative space that allows emerging artists to show their music and connect with the public. This podcast represents a crucial platform for new talents to obtain the visibility and support necessary for their professional development. People interested in being part of this space can register through our website.
The Premios Cristo Rey not only seek to recognize talent, but also to promote musical creation, artistic training and the professionalization of the entertainment sector. Our aspiration is to become the most important award in the industry, not only locally, but also departmentally, nationally and internationally.
