I don\u2019t think so!\u201d remarked the singer-songwriter to the 8,000 attendees who packed the Auditorio GNP Seguros on Thursday (Sept. 4) during the second night of the tour, according to figures from OCESA. \u201cThere\u2019s something here,\u201d the musician noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sanz\u2019s new trek marks his return to the Latin American country after two years. The first leg of the tour already boasts more than 20 scheduled dates in various Mexican cities, several of which are sold out \u2014including the shows at Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City set for Sept. 12, 13, 17 and 18.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThank you so much for welcoming us, for giving us your warmth,\u201d said Sanz, visibly moved. \u201cI always tell [my band] rehearsals are fine, but the concerts are ching-nes (badass). I hope you enjoy it. We want to give you a show filled with music, not ching-deras (nonsense),\u201d he added, using a colloquial Mexican expression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Dressed in black pants, a brown shirt, and white sneakers, Sanz appeared on stage promptly at 9:00 p.m., guitar in hand, to perform \u201cDesde Cu\u00e1ndo,\u201d from his 2009 album Para\u00edso Express, encouraging the audience to sing along with him. It was the prelude to an emotional 120-minute musical journey featuring old favorites and new hits.

The guitar remains his great ally, but he also captivates the audience when he plays the piano, creating a more emotional and intimate atmosphere with his fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Below, see five standout moments from Alejandro Sanz\u2019s second show at the Auditorio GNP Seguros in Puebla, Mexico.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The New &amp; The Old<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In his new two-hour show, Sans revisits the great hits from his career, such as \u201cCoraz\u00f3n Part\u00edo\u201d, \u201cAmiga m\u00eda\u201d and \u201cMi persona favorita\u201d, while also performing some of the songs from his 2025 EP \u00bfY Ahora Qu\u00e9?, including \u201cB\u00e9same\u201d, \u201cEl Vino De Tu Boca\u201d and \u201cHoy No Me Siento Bien\u201d, the latter recorded with Grupo Frontera.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Mexican Flag<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIf yesterday was a dream, today was a poem,\u201d Sanz wrote on social media to describe the second night of his tour. Mexico is a country with which he shares close ties, as evidenced by the moment he raised a Mexican tricolor flag thrown to him from the audience while performing \u201cPor Bandera,\u201d from his 1995 album 3. Another white flag with the word \u201cPaz\u201d (Peace) was waved by the musician and his backup singer, before throwing it to the people in the front row.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Visuals &amp; Confetti<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Throughout the show, various visuals appear on the background screens, from images of clocks and hourglasses to galaxies and a painting of what appears to be a colorful and vibrant Latin American plaza, with flowers, colored paper and fruit. Toward the end of the concert, a shower of green, white and red confetti \u2014 resembling the Mexican flag \u2014 caps off an explosive moment.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Feminine Presence<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Among the musicians accompanying Sanz during this new concert series are four women, who take charge of the backing vocals, drums, bass, percussion and trombone. The female contribution to the show brings subtlety and emotion to songs like \u201cB\u00e9same,\u201d originally recorded with superstar Shakira.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">An Acoustic Finale<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">An acoustic set accompanies the show\u2019s encore, with Sanz and his band returning to the stage to close the night with a more intimate and emotional performance. The songs here were \u201cY Si Fuera Ella,\u201d \u201cLo Ves,\u201d and \u201cCoraz\u00f3n Part\u00edo,\u201d marking a masterful close, with the audience belting out one of the Spanish singer-songwriter\u2019s anthems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.billboard.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Billboard's Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Billboard&#8217;s Newsletter<\/a>.
