Julión Álvarez Gives His 1st U.S. Concert in 8 Years: ‘I Must Confess That I Was Close to Tears’

Julion Alvarez gives his first U.S. concert in eight years.

Regional Mexican star Julión Álvarez made his return to the U.S. stages on Thursday night (April 17), with the first of three shows of his 42/18 Tour at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. — a record for a Latin artist at the venue. I hope you enjoy this as much as I am,” Álvarez said shortly after starting the show with a Mexican flag and a snippet of “Cielito Lindo,” singing in Spanish, “Let them say I’m asleep and bring me here, beautiful and beloved Mexico, if I die far from you.” Álvarez then embarked on a musical journey through his career, performing hits such as “Regalo de Dios,” “Te Hubieras Ido Antes,” “Rey Sin Reina,” “La Frontera” and “Mi Mayor Anhelo,” a song that brought back memories of his days as the vocalist for Banda MS, which he thanked for the lessons he learned from the band.
