Alejandro Sanz returned to our country with his tour “Sanz en Vivo” of which sold out the 7 scheduled dates between Córdoba, Rosario and Buenos Aires. And on his first night in the city, in front of a completely sold-out stadium, the Spanish composer displayed his hits that he mixed with his most recent musical stage.
After 9:00 p.m. on Friday, May 5, Sanz would go on stage dressed in a red suit, platinum hair, and dark glasses to open the show at the Arena with “No es lo Mismo”, followed by “Lo que I was, it’s what I am” that emerges from his first album “Viviendo de prisa”, and “Let me kiss you”, flamenco that he originally sang as a duet with Mark Anthony and that on this occasion he did it with one of his musicians .
As well as “Looking for Paradise” where the voice of Alicia Keys was sung by her backup singer, Karina Pasian. Immediately afterwards the first medley of the night would arrive, with “The soul in the air / Give me the chair where I waited for you / Today it rains, today it hurts”. And the same fate would befall some of her most representative songs such as “My friend”, “La fuerza del corazón”, “Mi soledad y yo”, “y Si fuera ella”, and “Cuando nadie me ve” that suffered their annotations in a potpourri that Sanz chose for different moments of the evening.9356_.jpg)
“Sanz en Vivo”, which has already announced and performed more than 30 dates in 2023 in Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Spain, brings a completely renewed show where the man from Madrid wicks the nostalgia for his classics from the first hour, Back in the 90s with his most recent work “Sanz”, his latest studio album, nominated in the “Album of the Year” category at the 2022 Latin Grammys and which was also the best-selling album in physical units of 2021 in Spain.
As for the staging, the singer played with the colors where green, blue and red prevailed, accompanied by a fire that represented the warmth of the public that as the songs went on asked for more. “I have never been very eloquent, and much less tonight”, said the singer immersed in an immense emotion that seized him at various times of the night.
“They say that the English invented football, it may be, but passion, passion was invented here.”
How could it be otherwise, the piano had its space with “Do you see it?” almost facing the last songs of the musical day, and the list, which he had been presenting in different countries, had its modification when Sanz sang the track from “El Alma al aire”: “Llega, llega solitude” dedicated to Buenos Aires. “Because I have the heart of Buenos Aires”, he would affirm smiling.
The World Cup was not exempt from the words of Alejandro who recounted the happiness he felt after Argentina became world champion and said: “I lived it as if it were my own”, He commented amid thousands of applause and cheers from the public while adding: “They say that the English invented football, it may be, but passion, passion was invented here”, threw after the cheering of the Villa Crespo stadium.
The surprise of the night would come along with the tribute that the 54-year-old from Madrid paid to his contemporary Joaquin Sabinaafter singing “Contigo” that the fervent public sang out loud, dedicating those heartbreaking paragraphs to the artist who made the version his own.
The night would almost come to an end with “Una que sepamos todos” and the hit that brought the stadium to its feet was played with “Corazón partío”; “I swear I’m leaving, they don’t believe me”, the artist played to announce that we were arriving at the farewell.
However, there would be a little more and after an orchestral moment, the lights would come back on for the acoustic version of “Living in a hurry” that Sanz played, generating a moment of intimacy, despite the more than 15,000 people, and performing the last medley of the night with: My loneliness and I / And, if I were her? / That last moment that he would anticipate, now the final farewell would come, after two hours of shows that graced almost three generations that accompanied him in the first presentation, of the five that he will carry out in the city of Buenos Aires.
“Don’t make me cry” repeated, Sanz after saying … “See you later, and never goodbye.”
