If you live in the Orange County & Los Angeles area, you will have a chance to assist to many shows and concerts. From June till September, the Hollywood Bowl has a wide range of variety shows in the open air. The Disney Land area and the Universal Studio area, the Knot Berry Farm area, the Anaheim convention and Entertainment Center regularly offer American, International as well as Vietnamese shows not counting the free public concerts in the different parks of the region. In addition to all the shows, the San Diego and Escondido Casinos have regular concerts from country legend Willie Nelson to rapper extraordinaire LL Cool J.
We had a chance to attend a latino concert and we must say that the ambiance was terrific and hot!
The concert was performed by Marco Antonio Solis and was done entirely in Spanish, we do not have a lot of Spanish to understand everything but we know most of the songs and their meanings.
Marco Antonio Solís is a Mexican romantic musician, composer, and record producer. Throughout his career, he has sold over 80 million records and written over 300 songs, arguably making him one of the most successful singer-songwriters in Latin America. (Wikipedia)
The show took place in the open air. There were at least 3000 attendees :young and old. The reaction of the public was just unbelievable. Most of the music were salsa, cha cha cha, bolero, waltz. While the singer performed his songs with the go go dancers, the public sang along and some young people just danced around on the platform. We have a feeling of living again the period of the 6o's with the Beatles when young girls shouted out loud and sang and danced. The show lasted 2 hours and we were enthralled by the great ambiance of the latin rhythm. After the show, the salsa music continued in the garden and old and young generation moved to the rhythm of the salsa dance. This is my favorite song from Solis: "Si no te Hubieras ido - if you had not gone." - Click on the arrow to play!
