Sagunto council congratulates local winners of À Punt's Cantem! contest
The Sagunto group made up of Laura, Daniel, Carlos, Celia and Merxe beat the team representing Alboraya in the final of the Cantem! music contest on regional broadcaster À Punt.
Mayor Darío Moreno and tourism councillor Natalia Antonino welcomed the quintet at a municipal reception celebrating their win in the talent show, broadcast by regional public channel À Punt. Moreno said taking part in contests like this "takes courage," and thanked the group for helping residents feel proud of and involved in Sagunto's cultural life. Antonino recalled the excitement of the final, held at the Casal Jove, and said the win is a promotional window for Sagunto, both within and beyond the Valencian Community. Group member Merxe Navarro thanked the strong support felt from people across Sagunto and Puerto de Sagunto (the coastal district). Cantem! aims to showcase musical talent from towns across the region: over this first season, groups representing each municipality performed almost 600 songs in total.
