The essence of Los Planetas allows 'Segundo Premio' to collect the 2025 Goya Award for Best Sound in Granada

The effort of Diana Sagrista, Eva Valiño, Alejandro Castillo and Antonin Dalmasso to combine dialogues and live music to conduct narration and emotion in 'Second Prize' has been recognized with a Goya in the category of Best Sound.

With a plot focused on Granada, Second Prize rescues and transforms the history of Los Planetas to transfer a unique emotional and cultural moment in the history of our country. The origin of one of the most influential bands of alternative music in Spain has served as a pretext for Isaki Lacuesta and Pol Rodríguez to conduct a deeply aesthetic and, at times, lyrical story, which required a sound base that would give packaging to the legend of the combo led by the always complex Jota.

Diana Sagrista, Eva Valiño, Alejandro Castillo and Antonin Dalmasso have been at the forefront of a complex sound built around two great challenges. On the one hand, to combine the live music of the film, narrative in itself, with the dialogues. On the other hand, to ensure that the "musicians-actors" were able to replicate the sound of Los Planetas, key to a musical film in which, for the winners, "they do not dance with choreographies, but through rock".

The sound of Second Prize, a production that is certainly complex and that has required multiple trials and errors to achieve its final assembly, has been worked with the suite Avid Pro Tools. It has been especially relevant for the award for Best Editing for Javi Frutos, and has helped Isaki Lacuesta and Pol Rodríguez to lift the Goya for Best Director.
