Nothing can cause the goose bumps to crawl up and down your arms like listening to the serenaders of Latin American music. The trombones, the trumpets, the Spanish guitars ring in hot Mexican nights with magnolia blossoms and roses wafting the scents through a crystal clear evening, studded with stars. No one can strum on the heart strings of the love-struck romantic like Luis Miguel.
Beginning his career at the tender age of eleven, Luis Miguel released his first album, “Un Sol” in 1981. He has done nothing but wow his audiences since then. By the age of fifteen, he had already cemented his role in Latin American music by winning second place in the Sanremo Music Festival, and scooping up the “Atorcha de Plata” Award in the Viña del Mar Music Festival that same year.
With his blend of traditional Mexican salsa with a modern pop sound, Luis Miguel was destined to become a superstar. Thirty years later, a very grown-up Luis Miguel has done just that. His album, “33”, indicative of his age at the time it was produced, won two Billboard awards as well as Grammy and Latin Grammy award nominations. Wherever Miguel goes, it’s a sold-out show. He has taken audiences by storm in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Spain, and became the top selling artist in Chile, with over 2.5 million records sold.
His album, Luis Miguel, has received silver and gold certificates in four countries, including the United States. He is now coming to San Antonio, Texas to perform at the Alamodome, and to Los Vegas, where if you didn’t feel like a winner before, you’re bound to feel you won the winning ticket when you settle down to an evening of romantic entertainment with your significant other.
Who can make the heart melt and the eyes grow starry? Who was the first Latin artist to receive a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the only Latin American artist to perform at the show, “Sinatra, 80 Years, My Way”? None other than Luis Miguel, whose outstanding live performances and high grossing tours make him the artist you do not want to miss.
