More than 20 years ago, he was encouraged and entered an unknown television contest. She was selected to enter an academy where she was going to learn to sing, dance or speak English before the cameras. It has rained a lot since then and now David Bisbal is an international star who sweeps his music and his famous jumps wherever he goes from Santiago de Chile to Miami passing through Bogotá or Lima. Last night he asked Barcelona to dance.
Bisbal was competing with the only televised face-to-face between Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijoó, but his fans were very clear about it and left politics aside to opt for music. Las Nits de Barcelona achieved a full house at the Palau de Pedralbes. Who was going to tell me and Tower of Babel served as a warm-up. Afterwards, the man from Almeria addressed his devoted audience joking about the heat in Barcelona and entered the chopping block with a classic, Lloraré las penas.
There was no reverse. Other essential titles from the singer’s repertoire followed one another to the delight of the spectators who, getting up from their seats, chanted and danced to songs such as Dígale or Esclavo de sus besos. After that Operación Triunfo that catapulted him to fame, Bisbal has not stopped receiving awards and recognitions: three Latin Grammys, three Latin Billboards, three World Music Awards, two Ondas Awards, 11 Diamond albums…
He has also sung as a duet with other leading voices on the international scene. In 2018, she hit it off with As of today, a song that she performed with the Colombian Sebastián Yatra and that broke records: more than 100 million views on YouTube. Last night, the man from Almería sang solo that From Today. By then the audience at the Palau de Pedralbes had already shared twenty songs with the artist and they were happy. standing ovation
But Bisbal saved the best for last. “Latin heart / Hot-blooded stuck to your skin / Latin heart / Invites you to live an endless summer…” Latin heart was the singer’s first hit after his time on the television show. The theme is now part of the triplet of Bisbal’s essentials along with Bulería and Ave María and the night at Pedralbes closed with that trio of songs that left the best taste in the mouths of a delighted audience and not at all sorry for having chosen the music over to politics.
