Alex Anwandter Wins Big at Premios Pulsar

4 Wins in Chile s Biggest Awards Ceremony for "Album of the Year," "Best Pop Artist," "Song of the Year," & "Producer of the Year"

 
"A tribute to the world s maligned and ignored...Amiga is about how pop music can provide short-lived liberation from suppression. When Anwandter prays for Friday to arrive because he can finally die, it s an expression of hope and determination, because he knows that even the brave eventually fall - so you might as well die dancing." 
Critcally-acclaimed singer, songwriter, and producer Alex Anwandter became the biggest winner at this year s Pulsar Awards with 4 wins and 6 nominations for his most recent album, Amiga. The Pulsar Awards are the first awards to recognize Chilean music.

Labeled by Time Magazine as Chile s Prince of Pop and having Rolling Stone s #1 Latin Album of 2016, Alex Anwandter s latest album, Amiga, received multiple Latin GRAMMY nominations. Alex s directorial debut, Nunca Vas a Estar Solo, became another platform on which he speaks to LGBTQ rights. 

"An ambitious album that reads both like a diary and a political manifesto, a record that crosses a spectrum of musical influences...while managing the very rare feat of feeling both deeply personal and inspired by a greater social purpose. It s a tremendous, very human album - one that can feel hopeful and apocalyptic, emotionally immediate and philosophically grandiose, an album whose life or death message is delivered in Anwandter s tender, reedy voice." - KCET
