Si sono conclusi ieri i Grammy Awards 2025, in un’atmosfera insolita rispetto agli altri anni. La California, colpita al cuore dal grande incendio delle ultime settimane, tra cenere e macerie, ha trovato la forza di ospitare l’annuale appuntamento all’insegna della musica.
Beyoncé si aggiudica l’album dell’anno, mentre Kendrick Lamar arraffa più di un premio per la sua Not Like Us. Molto intensa invece la performance di Bruno Mars e Lady Gaga, vincitori del permio alla migliore performance di duo o gruppo che scelgono di interpretare California Dreamin’ dei The Mamas And Papas, a simboleggiare la vicinanza alle vittime di Los Angeles, quando avrebbero potuto esibirsi con la loro Die With a Smile. St.Vincent invece trionfa per quanto riguarda il genere alternative.
