Morat shook Medellín with a cheerful Juanes who makes his house delirious

Juanes and the Colombian band Morat gave a shocking concert in Medellín with a lot of honesty, very high interpretive points and musical surprises that made the audience delirious in a rich tour of their successful careers.

“Kisses in War”, the song chosen to open Saturday’s show, broke the ice. It was a powerful discharge that left the Atanasio Girardot stadium electrified when the stands were illuminated with the Colombian flag and on stage two generations met in a connection that continued with “506”, in which Juanes looked like a Morat further.

Morat conquers Medellin

After performing their two collaborations, between strips of paper and fireworks, the time came for the quartet, who left their skin on stage. And sparks flew. Martín Vargas, from Morat, was responsible for lighting them up by setting his drums to reverberate to the rhythm of “Where are we going”, “Segundos Platos”, “Learning to love you”, “Primeras Veces”, “Mi Suerte” and “My new vice”.

With Juanes the first earthquake occurred in the opening and then eclipsed with a sublime chapter with the appearance of Andrés Cepeda and the interpretation of fragments, almost a cappella, of “My nightmare”, “Si la ves” and “My generation”.

“This is a moment that will be immortalized for us,” confessed Juan Pablo Isaza to the 40,000 attendees, who jumped out of their chairs when the urban singer Feid took the stage to elevate the presentation with “Salir con vida”, another collaboration included on the album “If Yesterday Were Today.”

With “Kites always fly in August” came the tribute to Colombia and the people who fight daily to make a better country. The lyrics moved the entrails of the audience and the projection of a video on the gigantic screens, with painful moments of the conflict and social mobilizations, made the message even more forceful.

At the closing of their presentation at the “Juanes y Morat para todos”, the pop band sang “No se va”, “When nobody sees”, “Amor with ice”, “París”, Llamada Perdida” and “How do you “Dare” to finish with a standing ovation before giving way to the “giant boy” from Medellín, who this year reached half a century of age and fulfilled his city by giving “the best concert in my entire history.”

Juanes, face to face with his own

“I ask God” marked the takeoff of a presentation that covered his greatest hits and gave a taste of his next album with “Amores Prohibidos.”

The temperature continued to rise with “Mala Gente”, “Nothing Valgo sin tu amor”, “Fotografía” and “Volverte a ver” to enter the acoustic versions of “Para tu amor” and “Es por ti”, which he dedicated to his children before mingling with his fans in the most intimate moment of his show, based on his “Origen Tour.”

“Medellín is my beginning and my end,” said Juanes, who added that “there are videos and social networks, but there is nothing better than being here face to face with you.”

The turn came with “La Bilirrubina”, by Juan Luis Guerra, to show the most rumba Juanes and get the audience dancing, who also enjoyed the moment with “Gotas de agua dulce”, “La Paga”, “Yerbatero” and “Rebelión”, by Joe Arroyo, in a segment that praised a presentation that lasted more than an hour and a half.

“La Tierra”, the anthem he composed in his youth, brought Morat back to the stage to once again exalt Colombia with another joint and delirious performance, which then gave way to “Solo”, another hit with his band Ekhymosis.

Then followed “Me Enamora” to finish off the night with an ecstatic Juanes clinging to his electric guitar in a cover of “Enter Sandman” by Metallica, and thus close his reunion with Medellín after four years on a very high point. with “The Black Shirt” and “The Light.”
