Juanes on Tour
When he takes the stage, global megastar Juanes blends the traditional music of his native Colombia with the international language of catchy, guitar-driven pop-rock, contemporary dance beats, and the compelling power of his silky and vibrant tenor voice.
On his 2019 tour, Juanes introduces a new stage set and light show. It follows his 2018 Amarte tour, whose outer-space theme reflected the science-fiction vibe of Mis Planes Son Amarte (My Plans Are to Love You), an ambitious video concept album about love both extraterrestrial and everyday. Juanes launched into the musical stratosphere in 2000 with the release of his solo debut, Fijate Bien (Take a Good Look), which won three Latin Grammy Awards. He's subsequently sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.
Juanes Background
Juan Esteban Aristizábal Vásquez, known professionally as Juanes, was raised in Medellín, Colombia, during drug kingpin Pablo Escobar's violent heyday. After several albums with the rock band Ekhymosis, Juanes went solo with Fijate Bien, which included tracks influenced by Colombian coastal music, hip-hop, and emotional Hispanic balladry.
In 2002, Un Día Normal (A Normal Day) featured "A Dios le Pido" (I Pray to God), a hymn for peace throughout Latin America. Juanes has won 20 Latin Grammy Awards as well as Grammy Awards for Juanes MTV Unplugged (2013) and Loco de Amor (Love Crazy, 2015). While his latest music often touches on disco, reggaeton, and other forms of dance music, it still relies on cumbia, salsa, and vallenato — among other sounds Juanes heard growing up — for its core emotional resonance.
Juanes adds a strong streak of humanitarianism to his music. In 2006, he established the Mi Sangre foundation to assist Colombian landmine victims. In 2008 and 2009, he headlined Peace Without Borders concerts calling for cultural exchange across Latin America. "The world is crazy, if you look at who is running the world now," Juanes told The New York Times in 2018. "It's a very tough moment. But I really want to concentrate on the positive side. To me, music is a cure of my soul."
Encore
This is the second time I see Juanes and he never disappoints. Brings back so many memories, and the vibe is always awesome! He is such a legend! I will always return to as many as his concerts as I can.
Sitting in a parking lot with a $100 ticket was very outrageous. Literally no benefit whatsoever between the closest seat to the stage and the farthest seat in the back as the difference was only 100 ft. Loved the artist but the venue totally diminished the artist and the show. Will see the artist again but will not attend an event at this venue.
The show was great. Juanes did a great show. Nonetheless, the location was awful, nobody respected their seats and the organizers did nothing to avoid that situation. Basically, it wasn’t worth it paying extra for a good seat if people on the back would leave their seats and stand up in front without any regards. I would never go back to this venue.
There are no words to explain juanes has been and always be my hero my idol since I was 5 I love his music
This venue is such a great location for an intimate experience. We had the best time and had amazing seats. Juanes is amazing and over exceeded my expectations
Awesome show- lots of charisma from Juanes … best ever, will go see him again to enjoy his music .
It’ been the best concert I seen in a long time so and believe me i have seen plenty of concerts
Juanes really outdid himself! He really connected with the audience, even stepping down into the crowd for one song. He was engaging as well as his band. He played all of his hits and songs from his newest release. This is one of the best concerts I have been to. The Star of the Desert Arena is a smaller venue. Large enough to feel like your in an arena but small enough to feel like its an auditorium.
I wanted to see Juanes for so long, he's being my favorite artist since I was 6, it was an amazing experience, I got amazing seats at a good price!
Juanes Killed It. You won't regret going to see him.
