Rated as epic concert of The Rolling Stones in Colombia
The Rolling Stones are recovering today from the concert given at Bogota’s Nemesio Camacho El Campín stadium, to travel to Mexico early next week, for the penultimate performance in their current Latin American tour.
Their presentation yesterday in Bogota is described today by the cultural spaces as epic, even more with the surprise performance of Juanes featuring the British group.
Managing more than the Spanish, the leader of the band, Mick Jagger said the Colombian slang, in the middle of the concert: Dear rolos (people from the capital) we have a surprise for you, now comes to sing with us a parcero (friend) that we love.
It was a delirium what happened on Nemesio Camacho stadium when the antiochiam musitian appeared with his guitar to play with Jagger and the veteran group the song ‘Beast of Burden’, the great success of the quartet’s album ‘Some Girls’, released in 1978.
Juanes had announced on social networks hours before that he was very excited to attend the concert, but the surprise was maintained until the announcement at the football field by the lead singer of The Rolling Stones.
The followers of the UK group hummed each of the songs played by the band from the first minute, while being astonished by the conservation of the voice and energy of Jagger, already 72 years old.
The British rock band will conclude its Latin American tour with a free concert on March 25 at the Havana’s Sports City, which is already considered by many as the historical end of the tour.
