Since I listened to the song Estadio Azteca for the first time, Andrs Calamaro is one of my favourite artists, so, when I knew that he was going to performance in Alicante, I didnt doubt and bought the ticket immediately, because it wasnt very expensive and I could afford it at the moment

!he concert was a "riday night in at the beginning of September in a bullring In fact, I went with a friend and when we changed impressions at the end of the show we agreed, it has been fantastic# if you are a great fan of him you would have loved it $f course it had highs and lows like every performance, but the highs were ama%ing and made you forget the lows It started with a touching greet and some ballads and slow songs, and gradually the atmosphere was cheering up with livelier ones that everybody en&oyed as we were children !he end of the show was also beautiful because he dedicated some words of gratitude to all the people who were there, because it was a cold night with some unpleasant wind which bothered us during the two hours and a half that lasted the performance

"inally, I finished the day with a smile and a feeling of en&oyment that I rarely felt and I have to thank Calamaro for that feeling
