Juan Gabriel Concert Screening at Mexico City’s Zócalo Attracts 70,000 People


Juan Gabriel's "Mis 40 en Bellas Artes" was screened free of charge in Mexico City's main plaza on Sunday (Sept. 22).

More than 70,000 people gathered at the country’s main public square, according to figures from the capital’s government, for the screening of Mis 40 en Bellas Artes. The fan club Las Viudas de Juan Gabriel placed a banner of the late artist and a dozen members dressed in pink t-shirts and hats were enthusiastic about the recognition of the singer. Videos on social media showed a large number of attendees who remained outside the venue, dancing and singing at the top of their lungs to the songs included in the concert — published by Virgin Music — regardless of the rain that covered much of the city that afternoon.
