Alain Corthout powers versatility at Los 40 Music Awards with ChamSys

The 19th edition of the annual Los 40 Music Awards was held in November 2024 at the largest indoor arena in Spain, the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona. With seventeen internationally acclaimed artists performing forty songs, the ceremony celebrated every facet of Latin and urban music. Los 40 served as a telethon, partnering with The Red Cross to raise money for those affected by the 2024 Spanish floods.

Designer Alain Corthout with help from operator Timothy Demets supported the various dimensions of Los 40 by serving up a range of  lighting looks for the music of performers like Rauw Alejandro, Ana Mena, Lola Indigo, and Teddy Swims. Corthout and Demets used the ChamSys MagicQ MQ500M Stadium Console when creating this flow of diverse looks for the sellout crowd at Palau Sant Jordi and the millions watching broadcasts of the global event.

Giving Corthout and Demets greater flexibility in running the Los 40 Music Awards show was their console’s Replace Palettes feature, which worked in combination with the filter options in the Cue and Cue Stack. The Multi Console + Visualiser settings also increased efficiency by allowing one person to program cues, while another did presets. Among the most critical features of MagicQ MQ500M at Los 40 was the console’s MVR Import + Plot.
