Musa Awards


The Musa Awards are presented by Ibero Americana Radio Chile, a subsidiary of the Spanish group PRISA, to recognize "the best musical releases" in the Chilean music industry.

History

The Musa Awards originated from an initiative led by Ibero Americana Radio Chile and its ten national radio stations. The recognitions were established to honor the "best of Chilean and international music within the year."
The award statuette was designed by Chilean artist Norton Maza, drawing inspiration from the muses of ancient Greek culture.
The first edition took place in 2020, hosted by comedian Felipe Avello and journalist Matilda Svensson.
