An Epic Return with Mexican Flavor
Music lovers, get ready for this story full of magic and connection! Ed Sheeran, the genius of the guitar and the melodies that conquer hearts, returned to Mexico after eight years, but this time he did it in a way that no one expected. It was not in a packed stadium, but in the emblematic Salón Tenampa, in the vibrant heart of Plaza Garibaldi, surrounded by trumpets, murals of legends of ranchera music and an energy that only this country can offer. A true tribute to Mexican culture!
A Showcase that Made a Difference
Organized by Spotify, this exclusive event brought together the artist’s most loyal listeners, press and special guests in an intimate showcase that began at noon. Imagine the scene: Ed appearing accompanied by talented Mexican musicians, with trumpets, guitars and double bass creating a unique atmosphere. The most famous redhead in the world in the perfect place to celebrate music!
Surrounded by murals that honor icons like Juan Gabriel and Lucha Villa, Ed took his guitar and, with that humility that characterizes him, greeted everyone: “I have been giving pop concerts all over the world, but I wanted to return to Mexico in a special way. Today is for you.” And boy did he deliver!
An Unforgettable Musical Journey
The setlist was a tour of his biggest hits, from “Don’t” to “I Don’t Care” (his collaboration with Justin Bieber), but there was also room for gems like “The A Team” and an unreleased song, “Old Phone”, written in 2009 but released recently. “She’s almost the same age as I was when I composed it,” he joked while wiping his sweat, proving that even great artists keep treasures over time.
The most emotional moment came when, in a spontaneous gesture, he sang “Slowly” without being in the original setlist. “It wasn’t fun to write, but it was fun to record. I ask for your attention,” he confessed, achieving a reverent silence before delighting everyone. That’s Ed, always surprising!
A Closing with the Heart in the Hand
When it seemed like the show was ending, “Perfect” arrived, and with it, a sincere reflection on his career: “For 10 years I played for crowds, but that’s how I started: in front of a few people. I missed it.” A reminder that big dreams are born from small moments!
For the final touch, he chose “Shape of You” and, in a nod to his roots, “The Parting Glass”, a traditional Irish song sung at the end of meetings. “My dad is Irish, and although the places where this music is played are different, the energy is the same,” he shared, proving that music has no borders.
