¡Marco Antonio Solis... Estoy Tuyo!

This is Marco Antonio Solis.

He is a Mexican singer/songwriter that is famous throughout Latin America.  I was a fan of his music before coming to Argentina and was excited to see pirated DVDs of his music videos sold along the streets here.

I was so excited when a friend told me that he was coming to Córdoba!

So were all the middle-aged/old ladies! 

They would rush to the front of the stage to hand him teddy bears and flowers.  A woman behind me was yelling "Estoy Tuyo!" (I'm Your's)  and "Te Amo!"(I love you... but you probably knew that).

There was an occasional husband...

I wasn't the youngest person... let's just say Marco's got a more mature fan base- but no importa, I love him anyway.

I couldn't find ANYONE to go with me (it's mostly my fault, I waited until two days before to ask people if they wanted to go, and by then the affordable seats were gone).  Everyone I talked to said they were fans and wanted to go, but couldn't make it for whatever reason.

So I went by myself.  The day before the concert I asked my Spanish teacher/friend Gabby which bus to take to get to the Superdomo- I made my way up there and after asking two or three different people I found the boleteria (ticket counter- which was across the street in a shopping mall and hidden in some wacko department store).  

I saw a picture of Marco and there was a white piece of paper over it with something written on it... my heart sank, I had a feeling it said "sold out!"  I asked anyway.

They told me there were no tickets left... I asked again real let-down and whiny

 "No hay nada?"

Another girl behind the desk overheard and said that yes, there were 3 tickets left!  They were on the floor and expensive- but no importa right?  (They were actually quite a bit cheaper than when he came to Salt Lake a few years ago).  I bought one, and a lady and her son behind me bought the other two.)

  

At first I was hesitant about going alone (and debated going to a church dance instead) but then I thought to myself, Why the hell not go? I'm in Argentina,  I've got to live it up! 

I am  SO glad I went.

He has an amazing voice and was excellent live. I don't completely understand Spanish (songs are tricky for me because you can't translate all the words literally- there's a lot more you have to puzzle out to get the entire meaning) but the music was absolutely beautiful.

I had been listening to his CD days before (and now as I write this post).

I LOVED IT...LOVED IT...LOVED IT!

We all went home happy.
