By Marco Manjarrez [email protected] In September, the city of Las Vegas was dressed in green, white and red in celebration of Mexico's Independence and one of the most important singers of all time, Luis Miguel, was a part of it, where he had four excellent performances on the nights of September 12, 13, 15 and 16, which were a complete success in the already renovated coliseum of the Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino, which became a very glamorous venue worthy of a celebrity of the stature of Luis Miguel, where hundreds of his fans gathered to enjoy one of the most anticipated concerts in the entertainment capital of the world. It was approximately at 9:42 PM when the lights went out and the soft beat of the drums could be heard along with a play of lights that announced the beginning of an unforgettable night, a small shadow was reflected that grew until it disappeared when the curtain rose and between black and white projections the Mexican sun came out to illuminate the stage with its presence. Impeccably dressed in an elegant dark suit, sporting a more mature demeanor and long sideburns with an indelible smile on his lips, Luis Miguel began his show called "Mexico Por Siempre" Tour starting to the rhythm of "Si Te Vas", "Tú, sólo tú" and "Amor, Amor" in front of an audience that did not stop exploding with happiness, Luis Miguel walked around the stage from right to left taking advantage of the opportunity to do his classic dance steps and greet some of his fans who were in the front rows. Upon hearing the first chords of his hit “Suave” the interpreter of “Ahora te puedes marchar” encouraged his audience: “Vamos arriba, todos conmigo, vamos” ¿se tú? ¿La suena? It was enough to get everyone on their feet. The list of hits continued with songs like: “Por bajo de la mesa”, “No se tu” and in each bolero or ballad that Luis Miguel interpreted, a romantic atmosphere was felt thanks to the tremendous and excellent scenery, the lighting, the quality of the sound, the modern graphic and video montages that gave the necessary touch to fully enjoy one of the most anticipated concerts in Las Vegas. When it was time for “Culpable o no” a hit that came from his eighth album recorded in the studio at the end of the 80's, all the attendees sang in one voice, even the new generations that were in the audience sang from beginning to end this classic hit that surely thanks to his biographical series was resurrected as if he had recorded it yesterday. The evening continued singing: “Contigo a la distancia” “La barca” songs to which he made new arrangements singing accompanied only on piano. At approximately 10:00 PM the following could be heard: “El Son De La Negra” appearing on stage a group of regional dancers accompanied by the Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán made up of 14 musicians thus beginning the block of vernacular music, with “La Fiesta Del Mariachi” the sun of Mexico appeared again on stage the audience stood applauding and proudly singing and at the same time images of the Mexican flag, the Palace of Fine Arts, the Pyramid of the Sun appeared and “Llamarada”, “La Bikina”, “Sabes una Cosa”, “Si nos Dejan” were some of the songs with which the sun of Mexico was in charge of proving how he carries Mexico on his skin “Qué hermosa de público esta noche, mucha gracias”, “quieren otra'? asked Luis Miguel to continue with the songs “De cómo te olvido”, “El viajero” minutes later the masterful voice of the 49-year-old singer could be heard “Viva México!” “Viva México!” and with fireworks projected on the screens they put the necessary touch to raise even more the spirits of all those present and continue with the celebration of the cry, and could not leave the stage without singing "Cielito lindo and Viva México" At this point more than two and a half hours had passed of the sun's presentation and it gave way to its last block of already consecrated hits "Decide", "Now you can march", "The Girl in the Blue Bikini" and "Isabel", ending his presentation to the rhythm of "When the Sun Heats", a song that was accompanied by a beautiful set full of lights of all colors, giant balloons and papers everywhere that slowly fell from the heights and on stage the Mexican singer remained smiling all the time giving himself the opportunity to greet his fans in the front rows, and handing out as is tradition roses to everyone who did everything possible to get his attention.
