France has awarded Luz Casal (A Coruña, 1958) the highest artistic distinction it grants. It places it at the height of artists such as David Bowie or Bob Dylan, who also obtained this recognition.
The National Order of Merit has also been awarded to the choreographer and dancer Blanca Li. The minister reviewed the career of the two Spanish artists, whose career has always been closely linked to the neighboring country. They are "heirs of Spanish culture but also of French culture," he said during an intimate event.
