The performer, with maternal origins in Velilla de los Ajos, receives the award in the best instrumentalist section at one of the most prestigious awards in the world.
This Sunday the online gala of the Intercontinental Music Awards was held, one of the most prestigious in the world in the musical world. In it, Elena Ortega was nominated in the section for instrumentalists, in a final in which around a dozen musicians attended.
The guitarist sent the organization the link to her album ‘Rumores del Mediterráneo’, which was released last year, at the contest that takes place in Los Angeles (California, USA) and passed the jury’s sieve, made up of renowned names from the industry, music production as well as renowned composers from all over the planet, and where Grammy winners also participate. It competed with titles such as ‘Pure Imagination’ (by Leslie Bricusse), ‘Amazing Grace’ (by John Newton) and ‘Capricho Catalán’ (by the Spanish Isaac Albéniz). Finally, this last piece was the one that gave him the prize of this edition.
Ortega has been very satisfied with obtaining this recognition, which is rewarded with a scholarship to finance training studies in the music industry. Today, Monday, she was in Velilla de los Ajos, a town in Soria where the maternal branch of her family comes from. There she has confessed that her award encourages her to “continue with my musical career”, while she expects a “greater projection” to her career that she will surely achieve.
Finally, he did not want to hide his ancestry, stating that “I carry the origin of Soria wherever I go” without hiding his pride in this land.
