The Forqué Awards deployed all their potential to offer their 29th edition, in a gala full of music and cinema, or what is the same, culture, to recognize the most important actresses and actors of the moment. The Messiah managed to win the award for Best Series, and 20,000 Species of Bees, for Best Film, at the event last Saturday, December 16.
However, not everything went as the organizers would have liked. And the controversy sometimes manages to displace the main focus. This time it came from the hand of Willy Bárcenas, son of Luis Bárcenas, former treasurer of the PP, and Rosalía Iglesias, who was one of the guests to sing with her group Taburete.
Although it is not the first time that the vocalist of the well-known group has gotten into trouble for his statements, nothing had been heard from him for a long time. It was the journalist David Arnanz who put on the table the possibility that Willy Bárcenas was not singing live, that is, that he could have been resorting to playback to avoid having problems on stage in this important event.
“Willy Bárcenas, the son of the imprisoned PP treasurer, performed today at the Forqué Awards gala with his group Taburete. At the end of the playback he blurted out: ‘Long live Spain!'” the journalist published. And another aspect that did not go unnoticed during the show was the cry chosen on this special night to end his performance.
These two controversial acts have generated hundreds of comments on social networks that have made Bárcenas’ son have no choice but to give his point of view. “Very proud that they accuse you of playing back when you haven’t. And long live Spain, always!”, He snapped.
“Wasn’t it a channel that was committed to culture?”, “I stopped watching the gala here”, “Shame on you for the decent bands there are in this country” or “The problem is not whether you sing playback or not. The problem is the music you make”, are some of the comments the group has received.
Without a doubt, Willy Bárcenas is used to swimming in controversy, and that is why he has not hesitated to answer. Even so, not all the comments received have been negative. “Hit them hard where it hurts most” or “You did great” are some of the responses from his followers.
Despite the controversy, the gala was able to continue normally on a night presented by Macarena Gómez and Pablo Chiapella, where a nice tribute was paid to Concha Velasco, who died on December 2, and where they did not forget Itziar Castro, who died either. a week later.
