The Choque Frontal ao Vivo Awards did not take place on the 14th of March, at the Municipal Theater of Portimão, as planned, but that was not why this radio program did not distinguish the best of music in different categories. , such as Diogo Piçarra, Stereossauro, Teresa Aleixo and Héber Marques.
The event was canceled due to the Covid-9 pandemic, but the award "will reach the big winners of the categories in a variety of ways", explains the organization.
Some of the winners are, then, Stereossauro (Best Album/EP – Nacional 2019, with his “Bairro da Ponte”), Héber Marques in the category Best National Music (“Amor Perfeito”) and Diogo Piçarra who, due to his new album “South side boy” won the award for best album made by an algarvian.
Also in the regional categories, Teresa Aleixo was distinguished as new artist and Perigo Público & Sickonce with the best song (Benção).
«This small piece of acrylic is nothing special, but it has more value this year when many of those who helped to make the radio show recorded live, in this three-year journey, see their shows postponed or canceled and, without other forms of income or subsistence, find it difficult to pay their bills or even to feed themselves».
For this award «was idealized, with the main objective of encouraging musical activity in the Algarve and Portugal, not forgetting other types of art». More than 50 public and private entities (media, theater and auditorium directors, cultural agents, among many others) in the Algarve were invited to vote.
In 2020, a new category “Best National Music” was introduced, but the process was the same. The judges voted for the 10 proposed nominees for each category and posted on social media. With your vote, we reach the 3 most voted in each category and the winner.
