Who would have known that history would repeat itself, well sort of, for a Tampa resident, my mom. Twenty seven years ago Brunilda Irizarry had a special bonding with Marc Anthony.
Since the first time we met Marc Anthony in December 1995, we had a special connection with him. My family and I assisted Imagen Latina Productions with an end of year dance in which Marc was the performer. I was his chauffer and mom accompanied me, my Dad may he RIP chauffeured the band. Marc’s itinerary after picking him up at Tampa International Airport included an autograph session then dinner just before his performance. Marc was more than an artist, he was like ‘family.’
Our last family photo in 1996 at Marlboro Music Festival Raices in Orlando, FL (another beautiful story behind it too)
The evening of the dance, we wished Marc Anthony luck just before his performance. It was his second performance in Tampa since his Spanish music crossover in the 1990s. His first performance was in 1994 for a local Latin magazine event in which I voluntarily contributed to its entertainment column. The farewell the next day was bittersweet not only with Marc but also with his band and Mikey Jimenez. We wished him well and like a mother, mom also gave him a ‘motherly’ pep talk along with her blessings.

Mom and Dad blessed him a few times after up until Marc became well known, making it impossible to have that close interaction. We have followed his growth in his profession since our first encounter and have voluntarily contributed and supported him in our own way. We are extremely proud of his success and of all his accomplishments.
Volunteers for Marc's foundation - Maestro Cares (2013)
Little did we know what was going to transpire on Marc's return to Tampa 20 years later to perform at Amalie Arena that was formerly called Ice Palace Arena and where Marc had performed in 2002. We were already downtown to meet up with friends from MAC La Familia/Marc Anthony Fan Club (fan clubs from back in the days) that came to Tampa to attend the concert. It was a spur of the moment decision for me to try to purchase tickets about three hours before the concert. Luckily we scored an affordable and irresistible price for floor tickets, three rows from the stage. It was the only way Marc could see the small sign I made for mom, well try to see it at least.
Mom and I had attended Marc’s concert at the same venue 20 years ago, although we’ve seen him perform in Orlando, St. Petersburgh, and Miami, it was great to have him perform in our hometown again. Mom had told me I should make a welcome back sign. She had no idea I had made a sign that read, “¿Marc te puedo dar mi bendición como la primera vez en 1995?” (Marc can I give you my blessing like the first time in 1995?). We didn’t know if Marc would see the 8x10 sign from our third row seats.
For my family and I to have been part of his beginnings here in Tampa in 1994 and 1995 gives me so much nostalgia, happiness, and more so to watch mom sing, dance, and feel so proud of Marc and the band... I am forever grateful and blessed to share so many beautiful Marc memories with mom. There were many times I envisioned this but had no idea why, how, when and where. It is finally sinking in and each time I remember I get choked up. May we have many more Marc memories together.
Thanks to Marc, his band, his crew, Joey Vega, and Luis Figueroa for an unforgettable evening in Tampa. And of course to those that were around us that were trying to get Marc's attention to notice mom with the sign and to Marc's crew that spotted her and moved us to the front of the stage... Mom had a slight sore shoulder for a few days but it was all worth it.
“Que me imaginaba yo que me iba encontrar con Marc otra vez después de tantos años... Si me acordó, no sé. Son tantos años ya. Que Dios me lo siga bendiciendo, a todos. Gracias hija.” (I didn't imagine I was going to meet Marc again after so many years... If he remembered me, I don't know. It's been so many years now. God keep blessing him, all of them. Thanks daughter).

(We normally don't write in first person but it was easier and more meaningful to write in first person this time).
What an honor to have one of the top salsa music artists there is today return to Tampa for an exclusive concert 20 years later. It was December 15, 2002 that Marc Anthony and his band had last stepped foot at the Amalie Arena which back then was the Ice Palace Arena.
On Friday, November 4, 2022 the biggest and best salsa dance party was set for downtown Tampa. The excitement was felt all around, ladies and gents all decked out, traffic was a hustle bustle since early Friday morning. Marc Anthony (Marco Antonio Muñiz), el flaco (skinny) as he’s referred to by many, his band (da baddest band as they’ve been baptized by their fans), the hilarious comedian Joey Vega (he’s been Marc Anthony’s opening act for 20+ years), and special guest performer Luis Figueroa, the latest salsa sensation were going to light up Tampa. And indeed they did!
Joey Vega was all set promptly at 8 p.m. to entertain the early arrivals. It was 20 years he had performed at the very same venue with Marc. He took us back to the pandemic days and how ladies need to look to attend a Marc Anthony concert. By the time Luis Figueroa started singing, the venue was three fourths full. He took us back in time with oldies but goodies among them one of my all-time favorites “Hasta el sol de Hoy.”
Yes, Latinos show up late or arrive early to hang out around the venue mingling, drinking, eating, waiting for the most acclaimed artist to start. As the lights start to dim, Marc’s baddest band take their places on stage. The band plays a medley of Marc Anthony songs just before he appears on stage sporting his signature shades as usual that don't last long on him, black jeans, black blazer, a white button down dress shirt, and of course he wore shoes too.

The audience ranged from families with their children, sons and daughters with their mom or dad or both, couples, groups, and fans that came from far and near all ready to sing and dance their hearts out. Osvaldo Figueruelo was happy to see Marc Anthony for the first time with his wife and his mother.
“Que sentimiento de felicidad, sabor, orgullo es haber sido parte de ese público anoche. Y que bendición presenciar a una de nuestras mas grandes estrellas. Solo queda tomar las palabras de Marc Anthony anoche y decir: ¡Viva la raza latina!” (What a feeling of happiness, taste, pride to have been a part of that audience last night. And what a blessing to have witnessed one of our greatest artists. It only leaves me to take Marc Anthony's words last night and say: long live the Latin race) posted Osvaldo on Facebook.
Santi Socorro attended the concert with his family, They had seen Marc perform 20 years ago also at the same venue. It left them wanting for Marc to continue singing. “His voice is one of a kind. All of his songs are also hits. If he comes back to Tampa Bay we will be there,” said Santi.

The welcoming was surreal, the sold out venue went into hysteria as soon as Marc was spotted and belted out the first lyrics to his recent hit “Pa’lla Voy.” Marc Anthony is a showman within himself. He doesn’t need dancers, props, laser lighting, boom and bangs… It’s his voice and band that completes him for an extraordinary evening of singing and dancing.
The communication between Marc and his people was indescribable. The Latin pride was visible throughout the night with flags from Venezuela, Cuba, and of course Puerto Rico being waved as Marc repetitively yelled “Dios los bendiga y que viva la raza latina” and at one point almost slipped into the ending "puñe...” (God bless and long live the Latin race).
Marc never disappoints as the fan followers know. He keeps holding out notes, dances all over the stage making sure to cover every angle so everyone could see him. Of course he blew kisses, gave eye contact, blessings, bowing respectfully as he did to Brunilda Irizarry when he spotted her with an 8x10 sign stating “¿Marc te puedo dar mi bendición como la primera vez en 1995?” (Marc can I give you my blessing like the first time in 1995?), he even said jokingly, “Why you all sitting.” Marc wants everyone to have a great time, he wants you to sing and dance as is the message in his hit “Vivir mi Vida.”
Many times the fans out powered Marc in singing and he just let them sing. He does encourage his fans to sing with him if they know the song, “Si la saben, cántenla” and of course dance too. They knew all his songs from the first one to the last one.
The band outshined too, each in their own way and a few doing solos – Mario Sebastian strumming his guitar and Jessie Caraballo with his drum solo until Marc joined him on a set of drums. Let’s call out the additional phenomenal band members Alexandra Taveras and Franklin Torres vocalists, Ozzie Melendez trombonist and Erben Perez bassist, the four also formed their own group, A Tempo Band, during the pandemic. In addition, Curtis Rodriguez plays the bongos, Eric Velez the congas; Angel Fernandez is the musical director, guitarist and trumpeter; Bayron Ramos and Dan Reagan trombonist, Gerardo Rodriguez trumpeter, Marc Lopez percussionist, and last but not least Juan Carlos Sierra pianist.
Marc’s repertoire consisted of oldies but goodies of his endless all time hits and of course his recent hits. The setlist included “Valio la Pena,” “Y Hubo Alguien,” “Hasta Ayer,” “Flor Pálida,” “Contra la Corriente,” “Palabras del Alma,” “Si te Vas,” “Que precio tiene el Cielo,” “Mala,” “Te conozco Bien,” and after Marc sang “Parecen Viernes” he said, “buenas noches, que Dios me los bendiga,” as he waved and walked towards the back of the stage until he disappeared.
Although the arena lights were off, the arena was lit with cellphones as chants for more of Marc got louder and louder. Some started to leave but regular concert attendees and fans know a Marc Anthony concert isn’t over until Marc sings his closing theme song. For those that stayed until the end, they had an extra song to enjoy “Tu amor me hace Bien,” before ending a great and unforgettable night with “Vivir mi Vida.” Just what we all did Friday night, vivir mi vida (live my life). Indeed we did.
Vive tu vida que la vida es una, baila y canta, gózala (live your live, life is only one, dance and sing, enjoy it).
What an incredible evening it was in Tampa with the return of the salsa sensation and his band after 20 years of absence. Hopefully it’s not the last Marc Anthony concert in Tampa or a long wait for one.
To Marc Anthony, his band, his crew, and staff thanks for an awesome evening. Please come back soon!!
As the Marc Anthony duo with Carlos Vives goes, “hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar” (until we find each other again).

It has been 20 years since the worldwide salsa artist Marc Anthony performed in Tampa, FL. His last performance was September 15, 2002 at the Ice Palace Arena which today is the Amalie Arena and exactly where Marc is returning to perform in November.
As we look back at Marc's local performances, he definitely has come a long way. A few years ago Marc Anthony was not so well known or good looking to everyone, well actually 28 years. He first appeared in Tampa as a special guest performer for an event for Victor Matos' la Revista Ovación at the Club Civico Cubano (Cuban Civic Center), a small venue, February 1994.
It had only been a year or so since Marc’s crossover from singing in English to singing in Spanish commenced. The singer with long hair and funky glasses along with a local band and two of his own band members, Erben Perez and Angel Fernandez who are still an integral part of Marc's trajectory, to accompany him belted out a few songs to a small crowd. It was an intimate show. You could easily extend your hand to touch him, talk to him, get his autograph and even a photo or two.

Then Marc returned in December 1995 to an upgraded venue, the former A La Carte Event Pavilion, for an end of the year dance by Imagen Latina Production. This time his hair was short and more handsome. He had his own band and the crowd multiplied. His popularity increased as the crowd joined him in singing and there was room to dance.
End of the year dance at the former A La Carte Event Pavilion December 1995
Marc’s songs were being heard more and more on the radio, winning countless awards, hitting the top of the music charts, penning and recording songs, videos... Marc was a singer to be spoken about. His first concert at a bigger venue in Tampa was in 2002 at the Ice Palace Arena as his popularity exploded. Although not an intimate show and no room to dance similar to the beginning of his crossover career, he had a bigger crowd, more songs under his belt to perform and had fans following him.
A special bond since December 1995, encouragement and blessings from a long time special admirer, Brunilda Irizarry of 81 years of youth
Two years later he was to perform once again at the Ice Palace but the concert was cancelled. Also worth mentioning, on November 19, 2011 Marc was invited to perform across the bay at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg. Then there was another lapse in his performances in Tampa Bay.
Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg November 2011
Marc's unconditional fans, salsa music lovers, and followers have driven to Orlando and or Miami throughout the years. This time around, his unconditional fans, salsa music lovers and followers are more than welcome to join us in Tampa for a concert for the books.
Marc just wrapped up his Pa'lla Voy tour named after his successful recent album and single that included concerts in the United States, Europe and Latin America.

It has been a year since the outburst of Covid19 in 2020 that put a halt practically on our lives in many ways. For music fans, it was the live concerts, show, award shows where we could enjoy our favorite artists perform. The creativity since the pandemic for some artists, musicians, sound engineers has been amazing.
It's a new year, the year 2021 and slowly venues and clubs have started offering live concerts again but some artists are still laying it low to a certain extent. One of the most popular salsa artists there is today, Marc Anthony, once again takes over the stages in an innovative way presenting his first live streaming concert for the USA and North America directly from the sunshine state Miami, Florida.

The livestream concert will make each spectator live an unbeatable experience, a live show, in which the energy, production and music will be destined to capture the public and not let go until the end.
“Life has changed us… undoubtedly. But music is still a tethering wire for everyone. It allows us to continue keeping the illusion, love and joy alive. And although for our safety we cannot be face to face yet, I am sure that this concert will create an incredible magic, that I will be able to connect with my audience, wherever it is and with all those who need a touch of music to move forward; to maintain the illusion for life,” said Marc Anthony.

I could not be prouder of my roots and I definitely can relate to education secretary nominee Miguel Cardona's first speech. We have a few things in common.
Miguel Cardona is a native from Meriden, CT of Puerto Rican descent whose grandparents were from Aguada, Puerto Rico. In his prime age of 45, currently Connecticut’s education commissioner was educated in Meriden up until high school and then attended college in Connecticut being the first in his family to graduate from college.
Mr. Cardona presented his first speech during a press conference in Wilmington, Delaware after President elect Joe Biden's introduction and presented his education secretary nominee. It was clear what Mr. Cardona's top priority is to be an asset in addressing educational gaps due to school closures during Covid-19.
“For too many students, public education in America has been a ‘flor pálida,’ a wilted rose neglected and in need of care,” stated Cardona. “We must be the master gardeners who cultivate it, who work every day to preserve its beauty and its purpose.” To mention, Cardona's reference to ‘flor pálida’ in education, “Flor Pálida” is the title to salsa artist Marc Anthony's single and is Mr. Cardona's idol who he hopes to meet one day.
And the cream of the crop, he (we) is (are) “... as American as apple pie and rice and beans,” as Mr, Cardona clearly stated.
If confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Cardona would replace Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
On behalf of myself and my family our sincerest congratulations to Miguel Cardona's nomination. He is from my hometown, our parents are from Puerto Rico, and my grandparents are also from Aguada - my grandma seeked a better future outside of the island by moving to Meriden, CT. I was fortunate to have a great education in Meriden and then college in the state...
And lastly, Marc Anthony who I have referred to for many years as mi flaco querido is my favorite salsa artist since we met back in the early 1990s. And yes, we know Mr, Cardona's family. Furthermore, I have an uncle, Sergeant William T. Cardona, who is probably tied to the Cardona family in some way.
Listen to Miguel Cardona's inspiring speech here. And of course listen to Marc Anthony's beautiful song “Flor Pálida” here.
A pesar de los momentos difíciles que aún se esta viviendo y la industria del entretenimiento también sintiendo sus afectos, los lanzamientos siguen a flote. Recientemente dos íconos mundiales de la música, Daddy Yankee y Marc Anthony, unieron sus voces para lanzar “De vuelta pa’ la vuelta,” un tema que fusiona la salsa con el género urbano logrando una colaboración única e inesperada. “De vuelta pa’ la vuelta” producido por el ganador del Grammy Latino y aclamado pianista y productor puertorriqueño, Sergio George fue escrita por Daddy Yankee, Marc Anthony y Edgardo Barreras.
“Uno de mis deseos… era grabar una salsa como la de los tiempos de La Fania. Qué mejor satisfacción para un artista que grabar con alguien que uno escuche y lo tenga en su playlist. Marc es un ícono de nuestra música latina. Entrar a su mundo tropical y ser parte de esa magia, siempre estuvo en mi “bucket list.” Por mucho tiempo quería demostrar ese lado musical que algunas personas desconocían de mí, y qué mejor que ir de la mano del maestro Sergio George y un salvaje como Marc. La visión fue traer algo refrescante, poder colapsar el mundo de la salsa con el reggaetón en sus esencias más puras para que la canción tuviera su propia identidad. Esto es salsa de callejón, rumba de barrio con mucha clase pa’ prender la Navidad,” expresó Daddy Yankee.
“Hace mucho tiempo que deseábamos trabajar juntos. Esta colaboración fue muy especial para mí porque tuve la experiencia de ver a Yankee sumergirse totalmente en mi mundo tropical. Él, sin duda alguna, ha hecho historia en el género que representa, y ahora tenemos la oportunidad de unir nuestras voces en este tema que está lleno de elementos musicales que celebran nuestra cultura y que nos dan la oportunidad de representar nuestra raza latina en todas partes del mundo,” expresó Marc Anthony.
El video, “De vuelta pa’ la vuelta,” se estrenó en YouTube el jueves 10 de diciembre lo cual fue reproducido más de 389,000 veces en menos de una hora y se mantuvo unos de los videos mas visto por unos cuantos días. Con respeto al sencillo, fue lanzado en todas las plataformas digital musical el viernes 11 de diciembre y presentemente en iTunes la canción esta en la cima de la música tropical en los Estados Unidos. Además, tanto el video como el sencillo son distribuidos por El Cartel Records/UMG. Vea el video aquí.
Despite the rough times still being lived and the entertainment industry also feeling its affects, new releases are still going strong. Recently two global music icons, Daddy Yankee and Marc Anthony united their voices to release “De vuelta pa’ la vuelta,” a track fusing classic salsa with reggaeton beats, producing for the first time ever a historic and unexpected collaboration. “De vuelta pa’ la vuelta” produced by Latin Grammy winner, acclaimed pianist and Puerto Rican producer, Sergio George was written by Daddy Yankee, Marc Anthony and Edgardo Barreras.
“One of my dreams…was to record salsa like back in La Fania days. One of the greatest experiences and satisfaction for an artist is to record with someone they listen to and have on their playlist. Marc is a Latin music icon. To have the honor to enter his musical world and be part of that magic was always on my bucket list, I’ve wanted to show a musical side that not many people know about, and what better way to do that than hand in hand with a legendary producer like Sergio George and a powerhouse like Marc. The vision was to bring something refreshing, to be able to fuse the world of salsa with the essence of reggaeton and at the same time give the song its own identity. This is salsa de callejón, rumba de barrio with the right touch of elegance to light up Christmas,” expressed Daddy Yankee.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve wanted to work together. It was such an experience to see Yankee dive into my world. He is a force to be reckoned that has set so many precedents in the Latin music scene. Now with this song, we have the opportunity to unite our voices, highlight our culture and honor our Latino roots,” expressed Latin music icon, Marc Anthony.
The video, “De vuelta pa’ la vuelta,” released Thursday, December 10 had over 389,000 views in less than an hour and was one of the most viewed videos for several days. As for the single, it was released on all digital music platforms Friday, December 11 and is presently iTunes top tropical music song in the United States. In addition, both are distributed by El Cartel Records/UMG.

Nothing stops salseros and less Marc Anthony fans from partying. On a rainy and cold day in which Floridians are not accustomed to the latter, fans managed to fill up Amway Center in Orlando for another unforgettable evening with the one and only Marc Anthony, his amazing band and the hilarious comedian Joey Vega.
The renowned salsero kicked off his Legacy tour in 2018 but Central Florida wasn’t included which left many fans questioning as to why. But it would be impossible for Marc not to perform in Orlando where he's had consistent sold out concerts, a huge fan base especially Puerto Ricans and after his historical and emotional 2017 tribute to Puerto Rico singing “Preciosa” for the first time ever at Amway Center. Of course, he’d return to Orlando for the second leg of his Legacy Tour. It was a great way to start off 2019 with Marc Anthony.

The stage setting was different. A stage curtain was in place displaying the artist and his tour name. Comedian Joey Vega stepped out to bring laughter and flashbacks of being a Latino for about an hour. And just before 10 p.m. the music started playing Marc Anthony song clips that also included his collaborations just before the stage curtain was raised for the band and Marc Anthony to be exposed. Thankfully he put to rest his jeans. He looked classier, sharper and handsome performing in a suit tailored by Sew On Set Tailor.
Close to two hours of singing and dancing with the top salsa artist there has been for years. This time “Aguanile” wasn’t the opening number, instead it was “Valio La Pena.” Inclusive “Flor Pálida,” “Vivir Lo Nuestro” “Hasta Que Te Conocí,” a medley of classics, among other hits from the beginning of Marc’s Spanish crossover to present. But Marc Anthony regular concert attendees know his concert isn’t over until he sings “Vivir Mi Vida.”
A flirty and witty Marc Anthony that made sure everyone saw him by covering every angle of the stage, showing his gratitude of his fan’s unconditional support and not to mention his pride of being Puerto Rican. “Bendición papi,” he said to his dad that was in the audience as he sang “Hasta Que Te Conocí.” He even accepted a few drinks from fans. Oh, and Marc will definitely call you out because he wants you to dance. What is a Marc Anthony concert if you don't sing and dance?
From the band to the backup singers, they were all on point adding to another phenomenal Marc Anthony concert for the books. Once again Marc Anthony depicts exactly his tour title - LEGACY!
Marc Anthony’s Legacy Tour continues until February 23. For tour information click here.

Y Marc Anthony sigue acumulando trofeos. El afamado salsero de los pasados años fue honrado con el Premio iHeartRadio Corazón de 2018 este pasado sábado 3 de noviembre en la ciudad de Miami en la Florida.
Anthony recibió el trofeo de las manos de su gran amigo y hermano, el locutor de iHeartRadio Miami y el anfitrión de la noche Enrique Santos. El reconocimiento es muy merecido por sus infinidad de logros y sus obras humanitarias que van mas allá de su carrera en la música y en la actuación.

Antes de la entrega, Santos dio un breve discurso de los logros de Marc Anthony a través de su Fundación Maestro Cares cuyo objetivo es mejorar la calidad de vida de los niños huérfanos y desfavorecidos en América Latina y los Estados Unidos. La fundación ha ayudado a miles de niños en Colombia, República Dominicana, México, Puerto Rico, y los Estados Unidos. También hay que recalcar el compromiso que todavía lleva a mano de la reconstrucción en Puerto Rico después de la devastadora pasada del Huracán María por la isla el año pasado.
Muy agradecido el astro del momento, no perdió tiempo en expresarse. "Muchas gracias mi hermano. Para mí, esta es una gran noche por muchas razones. Quiero aceptar este premio en nombre de mi equipo, que ha estado a mi lado durante tantos años. Esto es en nombre de mi gente. Esto es para Puerto Rico. En nombre de ser latino porque he representado toda mi vida lo que significa ser un latino puñeta. Pero esto no viene de la noche a la mañana, como dije, esto es muy especial para mí... Y significa tanto que mi querido hermano, Enrique Santos, es el que me lo da. Eres el número uno, cariño. Y aceptar este premio en Miami hace toda la diferencia en el mundo, así que muchas gracias por esto ".
Y claro que Marc Anthony tenia que deleitarnos como solo el y su banda saben hacerlo en una noche llena de regocijo. Cantando y bailando al son de "Tu Amor Me Hace Bien", "Flor Pálida", y cerrando con broche de oro "Vivir mi Vida".
