Madrid returns to deliver to Shakira after seven years of abandonment

"Thanks for waiting, Madrid!", Shouted Shakira to a city that left in the songs with the new century and that Today, 7 years after his last concert here, he has returned without resentment to the pop diva who has anticipated the rise of the urban Latin and reggaeton

recovered from the l '; haemorrhage vocal cord that led him in November to relocate this tour and that made him fear for the continuity of his career, the Colombian put another point today and followed "El Dorado Tour" before the full capacity of the WiZink Center in Madrid, with more than 14,000 people according to the organization.

And that, after his last concert in the huge Vicente Calderón stadium, it remained to be seen how the public would react to his return to the city, which for a while became the epicenter of his activity in Spain … until love turns it into a football barcelonismo muse.

Separated for several years from the great scenes by his motherhood, he did not want that he missed any of his nine study records at the rendezvous, with special incidence in " Pies descalzos "(1995), his debut, and the one that resumed," Where are the thieves? " (1998).

More protagonist was still the recent "El Dorado" (2017), the album with the greatest impact of his career in the last decade thanks to themes such as "The bicicleta", "Chantaje" or "I fell in love", those of his final conversion into "trap" and "urban latino" after previous flirting as "The tortura" or "Loca" ", When he spoke of" shaketón ".

Irretrievably he There have been exceptional absences in terms of songs in front of a repertoire of hits very difficult to concentrate in 1 hour and 45 minutes of concert.Thus, iconic titles such as "Ciega, sordomuda", "Ojos así", "Las de la intuición "or, what is more bloody for the capital," I leave Madrid "

" were omitted. ] I think of you Madrid ! ", He cried though to a sick audience at 9:25 pm, during which he reaffirmed himself as a diva Effective update with electronic notes his debut with" I'm here "and" Where are you heart ", in the middle of a colossal rain of confetti

Liberated, the barranquillera left out with" Loba "the tachycardic choreographic movements of those who made a sign, then there was a first Mbad bath through the long walkway arranged next to the stage, which also had three vertical screens and two other shaped bull's-eye.

"I thought I would not come back to sing again, but miracles exist and if I'm here, it's for you," he said, as a prologue to two of the new songs, "Nada" and "Perro gall", in which Nicky Jam auditioned, which he took advantage for sorry. "

In strictly musical terms, the singer and composer formally presented closer to rock than pop, with a clbadical group of five members that sometimes included a violin and without choreographic body.

In the final calculation, however, the show remained between two courses, without taking full advantage of the scenographic possibilities of the material available and with an excessive number of canned sound elements that made it lose its naturalness.

less l & # The sound of his voice, too robotic at first, which rendered many of his words unintelligible, has improved as the concert progresses, in which he has established himself or the duel. popularity between seminal themes such as "Inevitable", in which the electric guitar was hung, and the most recent and sinuous, like "Blackmail", with Maluma offline.

Characterized by a pre-Columbian priestess no, Shakira has tackled "Luck", the one who catapulted her on the international stage, while with "Amarillo" she proudly showed the back of her guitar, along with the printed photo of her partner, the FC Barcelona footballer Gerard Piqué, and that of his two sons, in the middle of a general ovation

"That of Madrid is the best audience in the world!", he proclaimed at the end of "Torture" , in which the respectable danced like crazy, but in which he missed that, in a long-awaited appointment, the presence of Alejandro Sanz on the stage was carnal and not purely virtual.

The acoustic ensemble with "Anthology" has allowed something fresh to the surface, as well as the change from "I do not remember you forget" to a more reggae version than the one that is not. original next to Rihanna, just before standing behind the drums and surprising with a thundering rock tour.

"Loca" and "Rabiosa" and the songs of the world ("La La" and "Waka Waka") transformed the last section into a raging part that, after the impás to the reminders and the calm of the ballad " Toneladas ", is in the middle of the track, continued with" Hips do not lie ", probably the best adrenaline rush of the night, and, of course," bicycle ", fast and fast.
