Ivan Cornejo Closes North American ‘Mirada’ Tour With Soulful Homecoming Show: Concert Review


Ivan Cornejo closed the North American leg of his 'Mirada' tour with a soulful homecoming show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

By the time he signed his first major label record deal with Interscope at the age of 19 (the result of a bidding war), Cornejo was already known as a defining voice for Gen Z Latinos thanks to his emotive songwriting and unique blend of regional Mexican and alternative rock music. Some of these influences were showcased in the pre-concert playlist of Billie Eilish, the Marias and Tame Impala, and nostalgic classics like Bobby Pulido’s 1995 hit “Desvelado.” A defining quality of the best música mexicana artists is their ability to sing clean register breaks with a whining tone and with great force (Vicente Fernández was known for his intense vibrato) — Cornejo is no different.
