Juanes ‘Mi Sangre’

Yesterday I went to Juanes‘ concert together with Klaas. Here is a clip of the concert’s opening song Sueños (not the actual opening in HMH) - defenitely one of our favorites…

It’s been a while since the last time I went to a concert. Usually I go to these big dance events like Dance Valley. Together with my big sis I dance the night away *ahum* , so going to a more ‘intimate’ concert with one singer and his band… was seriously refreshing!

Juanes is a Colombian singer-songwriter-guitarist who used to be in a heavy metal band. Six years ago he decided to quit his metal career and he moved to Los Angeles. There he met Gustava Santaolalla, together they created Juanes’ debut album ‘Fijate Bien’ and from there his career went… VAVAVOOOM!!! He wins prices, his music sells like crazy and he’s touring the world.

Although yesterday’s concert was about promoting Juanes’ third (latest) album ‘Mi Sangre’, he also played some songs from his second album ‘Un Día Normal’. I just bought ‘Mi Sangre’, but Klaas already bought ‘Un Día Normal’ a year ago or something. So when he played his new songs I was screaming (and trying to sing along) :oops: and when he played the older tracks it was Klaas who was screaming and singing along! We sure had a great time together :D

I especially liked the sound of Juanes’ music during the concert. Although his current style is so NOT metal, he did show us his metal roots by showing off his awesome guitar skills. During the concert he switched from acoustic to electric guitar. And he simply looked so darn sexy! Ok, I must admit I have a thing for electric guitars…

Haaa… the concert was a succes. I never thought buying tickets to a concert impulsively would lead to a great night with great music. And before I forget thanks Klaas for being my date to the concert !!! And er, thanks you liked my new outfit ♥

P.S. For the ones who feel bored, you can still join the movie challenge !!! 8)
