Marco Antonio Solis Performs His Classic Hits During Miami Stop of El Buki Tour Celebrating 40 Years of Music

Mexican balladeer Marco Antonio Solís delivered an unforgettable concert for all generations on Saturday night (April 1) at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Fla. He performed for nearly three hours, dedicating the night to both “jovenes romanticos” (young romantics) and “cincuentones” (50 year olds). The concert, part of his El Buki solo tour, began around 9:00 p.m. with “No Puedo Olvidarla” and “Tu amor o tu desprecio,” and the nearly 20,000 strong crowd, consisting mainly of millennials accompanying their parents or grandparents, welcomed him with open arms.

Solís, wearing a shimmery, sequined pant and blazer set, performed some of his most popular songs, including “Nada Que Me Recuerde a Ti,” “Dios Bendiga Nuestro Amor,” and fan-favorites from Los Bukis’ such as “Falso Amor” and “Y Ahora Te Vas.” He expressed his gratitude for the moment, saying, “Let us thank the heavenly father for this moment. We are here for a reason. There is nothing like being present. Today with technology, what I value most is presence.”

The 40-year trajectory of Solís’ “street [music] studies” shined throughout the concert. He played the guitar, the piano, timbales, and danced to every rhythm. He admitted during his show that he had little academic studies, saying, “My studies are from the street. I love music and lyrics, and it’s truly a beautiful career blessed by the grace of God.”

During the concert, Solís performed some of his most loved songs such as “Invéntame,” “Como Fui a Enamorarme de Tí,” “Si Te Pudiera Mentir,” “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto,” “Tu Cárcel” (which he wrote during difficult times), and “La Venia Bendita” (which he says was the fastest song he’s written – in just three hours – because he was, and still is, in love), among others.

El Buki Tour is not only charged with heartfelt ballads, but it also includes hip-swaying, shoulder-shaking dancing tunes like “Morenita,” “El Perdedor” and “Más Que Tu Amigo,” to name a few.

Following two of his biggest titles “Si No Te Hubieras Ido” and “Donde Estará Mi Primavera,” Solís thanked his loyal fans for singing with him and wished the crowd “a lot of inner peace” just minutes after the clock hit 11:30 p.m. The concert was a great success, cementing Solis’ place as one of the most celebrated artists in Latin music.
