This award is not just mine, it is ours,” she said, drawing warm applause.
The album Cashewswho had already been elected by Rolling Stone Brazil as the year’s best national album, it was also one of the night’s biggest highlights. “This album was born from a dream that, first, was mine alone, and then became a collective project, full of love and dedication. I dedicate this recognition to all the people who see themselves in the stories I tell in the songs”, said Liniker .
