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.
