The specialized magazine Enderrock has awarded the 2026 Critics' Award in the best urban music album category to the group 31 FAM, originally from Sabadell. The professional jury praised the originality of their album R31, a conceptual proposal that recreates a day of radio broadcast in a fictional station.
“"The urban collective, comprising Lil Didi, El Kid, AAA, Bandam, Koalekay, and Joey C, delivers a conceptual album where the diversity of its members brings contrasting colors and sensibilities to a common universe. More than a studio album, the entire result is a space for creative encounter."
Recently, the group released five new songs —La família, Como me dolió, Wikipedia, Lenny, and Anem tirant— completing the R31 universe. This 'deluxe' edition marks the culmination of one of the band's 'most ambitious and conceptual' creative stages, according to sources close to the group.
In addition to the recognition for 31 FAM, the awards also highlighted the work of Sant Quirze singer Triquell. The artist from Vallès received the Critics' Award for best pop-rock solo album for Paco Deluxe, his second album, described as a 'pop immersion into the world of madness'.
“"Always restless, daring, and tempestuous, the artist from Vallès makes a pop immersion into the world of madness."
The Enderrock Awards gala took place on Thursday, featuring Alosa, Ginestà, and Oques Grasses as main protagonists. Alosa was recognized with the Best Folk Album and Revelation Artist awards, while the Serrasolses siblings from Ginestà won Best Pop-Rock Album and Best Song. Oques Grasses received the Best Artist and Best Live Performance awards. Finally, the magazine presented the Enderrock d’Or and Estrella awards for career achievement to Sopa de Cabra and Lax’n’Busto.
