“She was invited by the Queen Sofia Foundation, where Queen Sofia is going to be,” her proud dad Pepe Aguilar explained in an interview. “This is a beautiful thing. It’s a dinner for a noble cause, presided over by a world celebrity royalty,” added the Aguilar patriarch. “There will be two guitarists from Seville who will travel specifically to accompany her with a couple of songs,” he said.

“I’m happy, it’s going to be great,” said Ángela, who could not hide her excitement at being part of such an important event. Even her brother Leonardo joked about accompanying Angela to such an event. “I dreamed today that I was invited,” said the younger sibling.

The eighth edition of the awards will recognize Mexican collector and businessman Eugenio Lopez. The distinction will be granted through the Callia Foundation and has been designated thanks to his contribution to the art world as a promoter and patron. He has sponsored exhibitions at the MoMA in New York and the LACMA in Los Angeles.
