Nominated for four nominations for the 2024 Music Awards, including Best Tour, Rodrigo Cuevas (Oviedo, 1985) is the new winner of the National Music Award.
He also won the 2023 Premio Arcoíris 2022 from the Spanish Ministry of Equality, the 2021 Ojo Crítico de RNE Award for Modern Music, the 2020 MIN Award for “Best New Artist” and “Best Fusion and World Music Album”, and the 2020 Camaretá Award for Best Song for his composition and hymn “Rambalín”. Rodrigo Cuevas is a phenomenon of the performing arts as well as of communication in its broadest sense; a total artist in a constant process of sustainable growth.
In recent years Rodrigo Cuevas has matured significantly as an artist and as a person, with a tour such as “Trópico de Covadonga” that has allowed him to travel to countless cities in Europe, almost 20 performances in France, and also to visit America and the Middle East, having sold out many of the shows, many of them apotheosis like those at the Grec in Barcelona or the Circo Price in Madrid, to name just two. In the same way, the release of his second studio album, the acclaimed Manual de Cortejo (Aris Música/ Altafonte distribution) produced by Refree, meant recognition at the phonographic level by specialised critics and a very demanding public, allowing him to go beyond the orbit and scene of folklore, or rather, meaning for folklore a generous, full, wide and seductive sonic pasture for many listeners, for artists and for everyone, in general.
In recent years Rodrigo has had the opportunity to record great collaborations in albums by Rozalén, Baiuca, Zahara, with the Puerto Rican iLE, Vicente Navarro, Clara Peya or Eduardo Cabra.
The energy, emotion and dedication of Rodrigo Cuevas, after these dazzling years, continues with a new evolution of great depth and a much more glocal vision if possible: from the soil of Piloña, Asturies and the northwest of the peninsula, to the world as a whole; we are talking about the tour of La Romería and the release of his new album Manual de Romería.
