Later, in the Final Assault, he won everyone over singing 'La niña de fuego', and dazzled in the Semi-Final with an impressive version of the classic 'Soy minero', which earned him a spot in the grand final.
On the night of the final, held this Saturday, 'El Campanero' shared the stage with his coach, Antonio Orozco, and his advisor, the Roteño Antoñito Molina, to perform the song 'Alfileres de colores'. The performance, filled with duende and strength, was key to sealing his victory, receiving unanimous applause from both the coaches and his rivals.
The final gala began with an emotional tribute from Pablo López, who was supported on stage by the ten previous winners of the format, from María Parrado to Lucas Paulano. Eight young contestants competed for the trophy: Evolett and Triana represented Luis Fonsi's team; Marco and Erick competed with Ana Mena; Martina and Mía represented Edurne's group; while Leire accompanied Eduardo in Antonio Orozco's team. All of them provided a night of high musical quality and emotions.
