Biography
You don't get named the “Leader of Latin Music's New Generation” for nothing, and Luis Fonsi is very much the kind of artist that would get that kind of reception in whatever kind of music he wanted to play. Deciding to pursue a music career after graduating high school, Fonsi moved to Florida to study at the State University's School of Music on a full scholarship and by the time he left, he had signed a record deal with Universal Music Latino. In 1998, aged just 20 years old, Fonsi released his debut album “Comenzaré” (“I Will Begin”) which was a huge hit in his native Puerto Rico and all accross the Latin American territories. However, Fonsi had his sites set on the world, and began his plan for global domination by collaborating with Christina Aguilera on her 2000 Spanish language album “Mi Reflejo”.
This plan came to fruition in 2003, with the release of his fifth album “Abrazar La Vida”, which took him accross the Atlantic, making him a bona-fide celebrity in Spain and all over Europe. Ever since then his records have continued to sell by the truck-load, and his live shows take him to packed out arenas all over the world. He's also one of the very few people to ever perform for both Pope John Paul II and President Barack Obama. As if that wasn't enough, he's also an accomplished actor, with acclaimed appearances in Film, TV and even on Broadway to boot. It would all be infuriating if he wasn't so good at it, and at the time of writing, he's not even 40 yet. For packing more into a career that's far from over than most do in a lifetime, Luis Fonsi comes highly recommended.
Live reviews
When you see someone perform who does not sing in your first language, but you still find yourself enjoying and understanding the narrative through the lyrical expression of the melody, you know that they’re a talented singer/songwriter. This is exactly the experience that I had seeing Luis Fonsi live. With a Latin Grammy under his belt, I can’t say I’m surprised, but his performance really blew me away.
The stage set up was simple and effective for the acoustic show. There was a sofa centre stage, and the band members perched on and around the living room set up to play the intimate venue. As well as being a great singer, Luis Fonsi is an incredible guitarist, and whit his additional three guitarists, they created some beautiful harmonies, and bass lines to hold together and enhance the sound.
He opened the show with the ballad styled song Se Supone, which held the audience in silence before a huge applause. When he played his faster Latin pop tracks, he plugged in to an amp, and got us all in the audience up on our feet to dance and sing along to the tracks. He held the audience engaged from start to finish, and gave a truly remarkable show.
