Cepsa GOW wanted to pay tribute to the phenomenon of singing on wheels on Saturday, April 22, with a free event for all audiences, where hundreds of people gathered there had the opportunity to demonstrate their skills singing in a car on a giant stage in the Plaza de Callao in Madrid.
From 11am to 2pm, Xuso Jones, one of the best influencers of 2022 according to Forbes magazine, along with Oscar Martinez, the well-known radio host and DJ, and his colleague and presenter Cintia Leon, hosted this peculiar and fun karaoke.
In these three hours of competition, participants got numerous prizes, like a year of free fuel at Cepsa, weekend getaways offered by WiZink, cell phones with Masmovil, dinners at Telepizza, an LG Karaoke speaker, among many other prizes.
