Miguel Bosé’s Importante Tour: A Magical Comeback Interrupted by an Earthquake

4 min read

Miguel Bosé experienced a remarkable resurgence, reclaiming his position as a musical icon and embracing life during his Importante Tour. He meticulously planned every aspect of his triumphant return to Mexico City, only for the event to be disrupted by an earthquake nearly an hour into his performance at the National Auditorium.

The majority of the audience chose to stay put, while a few made a beeline for the exit. The performers on stage stood their ground, receiving applause from those who opted to stay.

The Spanish singer-songwriter, boasting a career that stretches over four decades, commenced his tour on February 28th following an eight-year hiatus. Despite a few concerns, he enchanted 10,000 devoted fans during the first of two sold-out performances at the Chapultepec venue. This scenario is set to unfold once more this Saturday at the Reforma stadium, with the delightful addition of his fan club orchestrating “a surprise in blue” for the artist, who regards Mexico as his second home.

Prior to the grand entrance of Bosé, the audience sat in a state of measured expectation. A smattering of isolated exclamations of “I love you!” echoed through the air.

At 8:40 p.m., as the musicians and three choristers took to the stage, the air was electrified with the initial wave of applause. Miguel Bosé, resplendent in brilliant white, fervently commenced the repertoire with the song “Mirarte.” The National Auditorium erupted in excitement.

As Duende unfolded, the audience leapt to their feet, joining in a resounding chorus while the Spaniard showcased his signature dance steps and captivating body movements, hallmarks of his performances.

Bosé embarked on a journey that transcended his own, encompassing the experiences of all those in attendance.

The son of Captain Thunder, a poignant tribute to his father, the renowned bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín, echoed throughout the venue, evoking memories of his autobiographical work in which he recounted his life experiences.

Following the rendition of the timeless classic Nena, the artist addressed the crowd with a warm, “Good night, Mexico!” It has indeed been quite some time since our paths last crossed, several years, in fact. We find ourselves once more embarking on a journey that was left suspended in time, a shared experience rich with memories, reflections, and revelations that will unfold through the melodies.

The tracks Aire soy, Bambú, and Este mundo va have undoubtedly become anthems, cherished by their fans and evoking a wave of emotions and nostalgia from a bygone era. The soundtrack was immensely appreciated by multiple generations.

The concert was in full swing when, at precisely 9:19 p.m., the seismic alert blared, creating a jarring contrast to the pulsating rhythms of the evening. The audience was rather slow to catch on; they had not anticipated an earthquake; the musicians on stage carried on until the conclusion of “Este mundo va” (This World Goes). They subsequently departed to the enthusiastic applause of the audience.

At 9:28 p.m., as the initial astonishment faded, a chorus of voices erupted, chanting: “Bosé, Bosé, Bosé!” The stage was shrouded in a soft, muted light.

At long last, the musicians and choir members took their positions once more. With Sereno, Bosé resumed his Important Tour concert, a spectacle that was nothing short of magical, adorned with lights and projections.

Solo sí, hacer por hacer. As “Como un lobo” played on during the concert, Miguel Bosé inquired, “How are we?” I’ve never experienced anything quite like that before! I’m not sure how you feel about this. Tomorrow, let’s not grumble about the lack of excitement in this production; what a remarkable array of moments we’ve witnessed! Is everything alright? Enthusiastic, let us proceed!

In support of harmony, he crooned the words to Nothing Particular.

The performance progressed with the Spaniard donning a striking red outfit, seamlessly returning to form with the tunes of Olvídame tú and Sevilla. He reminisced about his memories and emotions prior to performing Amiga, Creo en ti, Partisano, Puede que, Morena mía, Si tú no vuelves, Amante bandido, alongside other iconic tracks that have firmly established Bosé as a legend in the realm of international music, including songs such as Te amaré, Por ti, and Don Diablo.

The artist is set to enthrall his audience once more on April 23rd and 24th at the Reforma Arena, promising an unforgettable experience alongside his timeless hits, which have resonated across Latin America and Europe alike. The tour is set to proceed through Monterrey, Guadalajara, San Luis Potosí, Veracruz, and León, Guanajuato. The significant tour will subsequently proceed to Spain and the United States.
