Colombia’s Carlos Vives Shows Off Soccer Skills While Performing Greatest Hits
Colombian singer Carlos Vives wowed his fans in Bogota on the weekend with the second extraordinary concert of his “Mas corazon profundo Tour.”
With a soccer ball in his hands, Vives, the winner of seven Latino Grammy awards took the stage on Saturday night in the Colombian capital’s Simon Bolivar Park before a crowd of some 45,000, including the former captain of the Colombian national soccer team, Mario Yepes.
The singer, who was born in Santa Marta on the Atlantic coast, gave concertgoers a complete show overflowing with passion.
He kicked off the concert about an hour late with “Mil canciones,” the anthem of the Colombian soccer team at the World Cup in Brazil earlier this year.
Vives offered more than two hours of music to his fans, alternating big hits like “Fruta Fresca” and “La gota fria” with songs from his latest albums, including “Corazon profundo” and the new single “Cuando nos volvamos a encontrar.”
“El mar de tus ojos,” “Volvi a nacer,” “Bailar contigo” and “Como le gusta a tu cuerpo” were among the numbers performed by the singer who internationalized Vallenato music, the popular folk style from Colombia’s Caribbean region.
Vives, who has released 15 albums, will continue his Colombian tour, which he launched on Friday in Villavicencio, in the cities of Medellin, Barranquilla and Santa Marta, where he will wrap things up on Sept. 27.
