Este pasado miercoles 16 de noviembre La Academia Latina de la Grabación honró a la Persona del Año 2022 Marco Antonio Solís durante una gala. En este evento hubo conmovedoras interpretaciones de algunas canciones del conocido repertorio de Solís por los siguientes artistas: Bronco, Camila, Elsa y Elmar, Gente De Zona, Jesse & Joy, Los Bukis, Mariachi Sol de México de José Hernández, Carla Morrison, Edén Muñoz, Christian Nodal, Fito Páez, Laura Pausini, Romeo Santos, Sin Bandera, Marla Solís, Taboo de Black Eyed Peas, Ana Torroja y Sebastián Yatra.
Marco Antonio Solís, ganador de cinco Latín Grammys y nominado a seis Grammys, fue reconocido por su trayectoria de más de cuatro décadas como compositor, arreglista, productor, músico, director artístico e intérprete multifacético, además de ser uno de los artistas mexicanos más exitosos de todos los tiempos.
La gala y el concierto estelar de homenaje, para el que se agotaron las entradas, tuvo lugar en el Mandalay Bay Convention Center en Las Vegas, con una variedad de artistas y géneros. Solís sorprendió a los invitados al iniciar el espectáculo con una mezcla de sus más grandes éxitos, entre ellos “¿A dónde vamos a parar?”, “La venia bendita” y “Tu cárcel”, acompañado por Los Bukis.
Live Nation patrocinó por primera vez la presentación, un homenaje a Solís, que es su cliente desde hace mucho tiempo. Promovió las más recientes giras de Solís y Los Bukis por Estados Unidos, Europa y Latinoamérica como parte de sus esfuerzos continuos por llevar la música latina a escenarios en todo el mundo.

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.’

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.

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. And within no time, Anthony kicked off his Viviendo tour in the United States in Las Vegas. This tour is titled after his third song "Viviendo" from his fifth studio album Libre released in 2001.
Finally, Friday November 4 Marc Anthony, his 'baddest' band, and the famed Latino comedian Joey Vega will be on our stomping grounds. Hopefully a sold out concert too. Don't miss your chance to see the most acclaimed salsa artist. Haven't purchased your ticket yet, well what are you waiting for, click here. Like we say in Spanish, para que no te cuenten - so you won't be told.
Not convinced or sure to attend, what we know, well at least I know it will be one unforgettable concert in Tampa, like Marc Anthony says, "check it out."
There's tons to know about Marc Anthony from his astonishing singing profession, his acting, entrepreneur, philanthropist... check out his website Marc Anthony by clicking here. And of course he has videos, even duos with other artists and mostly in every music genre there is today on his YouTube channel Marc Anthony.
