The possible 9 nominations for C. Tangana’s ‘Esta Ambición Desmedida’

After the success of the El Madrileño album, C. Tangana faces the challenge of creating the most ambitious (and ruinous) tour of his career to revolutionise the concept of live performance. This unbridled ambition is a journey that follows the artist for more than four years. From the genesis of the album in Cuba to the conceptualisation of the show, the hostility of the negotiations, the rehearsals, the awkward conversations, the most intimate celebrations and the maelstrom of concerts throughout Spain and Latin America.
