Surprise appearances by Evaluna and Pablo Alborán. The Colombian singer Camilo collapsed the center of Madrid this Sunday with a massive concert that brought together thousands of people in the heart of the capital, and who were able to enjoy the surprise appearances of Evaluna and Pablo Alborán.
As a prelude to Columbus Day, the artist managed to enthrall a loyal and heterogeneous audience who did not stop dancing to Latin rhythms such as reggaeton, bachata, cumbia and even the Mexican corrido.
Camilo perfectly embodies the figure of the pop artist, the one who is capable of bringing together, on the same dance floor, a group of middle-aged friends, entire families with devoted children and bewildered parents, unconditional teenagers or lonely fans. .
Not even the waitresses at the multiple venues located near the Puerta de Alcalá, the iconic image of Madrid and where the concert took place, wanted to miss an extensive and complete performance of an hour and a half, where there was no shortage of their most commercial hits, such as « If you say yes”, “Tutu”, “Airport” or “Expensive clothes”.
The Colombian’s convening power ensured that young Ainhoa and her three friends put aside their “busy schedules” to meet again after some time.
“We really like meeting up, and Camilo has made us meet up, it’s very special,” he told Efe with a beer in his hand and his eyes protected by sunglasses, essential tools to overcome accumulated fatigue, after going to a Juanito Makandé concert the night before.
Gustavo, who came with his partner, went because “you couldn’t ask for more” on Sunday: a “free” and “outdoor” performance in the morning is an essential plan, in his opinion.
“It’s a good time to have fun and party,” he summarized.
Laura, a Colombian journalism student, “loves” the “different” lyrics and songs offered by her compatriot, whom she met through her time on a well-known ‘reality show’ in her country.
Evaluna and Pablo Alborán, luxury guests
The general joy turned into catharsis when the Colombian introduced the Venezuelan singer Evaluna on stage, who is also his romantic partner, with whom he performed their joint song “For the first time” to the screams of the audience present, rejoicing at the complicity shown between both.
Not satisfied with this, Camilo surprised everyone again by inviting the Spaniard Pablo Alborán to the stage to sing “The same air”, where the emotion reached its peak.
Camilo also had time to demand diversity and rejected the superficiality of social networks.
«We are in a world where we are told that we have to look like someone to be valuable; “We spend our lives trying to be a person we are not and will probably never be, instead of enjoying who we are,” he cried.
The joy of the audience present contrasted greatly with the disappointment and anger of the thousands of people who were left at the doors of a crowded Plaza de Cibeles, unable to access the vicinity of the concert, like Diego, who complained about the “overcapacity.” in the delimited space.
Camilo’s performance today is part of the Hispanidad 2022 programming, organized by the Community of Madrid to commemorate the National Holiday of October 12.
