During the week of September 22-28, the city of Guadalajara will host three concerts, each very different in musical genre, but equal in their spectacle and the excitement they have generated among the Guadalajara public.
Spanish singer-songwriter Alejandro Sanz returns to Guadalajara with his acclaimed tour, “Y ahora qué?” (What Now?), one of the most anticipated of the season. With a career spanning more than three decades, Alejandro Sanz is one of the most influential Spanish-language artists of all time.
The venues will host various activities to commemorate the artist’s 150th birthday.
With 25 Latin Grammys and 4 American Grammys, the concert promises an emotional journey through a repertoire that has soundtracked the lives of millions. Attendees can expect iconic songs ranging from early flamenco pop to his most famous ballads, such as “Corazón Partío,” his quintessential anthem, “Amiga Mía,” and “Quisiera Ser.”
Unlike stadium tours, this tour is characterized by its more intimate and acoustic format, allowing for a unique and personal connection between the artist and their audience.
The design of the Zapopan auditorium, famous for its first-class acoustics and privileged views from any seat, is the perfect setting for this experience. Sanz won’t just be singing; he’ll be sharing this moment of his life with the Guadalajara audience. This is the opportunity to witness a music legend and experience a night of pure emotion and talent.
