The Night that Proved that Solidarity is the Best Trend
Let’s put ourselves in context: in a world where the algorithm recommends garbage and timelines are full of chaos, there was a space where for one night, empathy went viral. This was the closing of Telethon 2025, that event that celebrates more years than some of us using TikTok, specifically 28 years uniting half the country. Hosted by the duo of Odalys Ramírez and Faisy, the show was not just a concert; It was a collective mission with a clear objective: to achieve that mythical figure of $420,770,069 pesos plus $1 peso (because that extra peso is the equivalent of adding “just in case” to a sentence). Spoiler alert: not only did they achieve it, but they surpassed it like the stars they are, closing the day with a whopping $426,978,716 pesos. Money that, instead of going to buy NFTs falopas, is destined for something that really matters: building a CRIT in Colima. Basically, the proof of stake of human kindness.
The evening started with all the vibes. The first artist to take the stage was the Argentine singer-songwriter Diego Torres, who, with his song “Color Esperanza“, made us remember those Nokia 1100 ringtones that we all had. Accompanied by a batucada that set the right rhythm for even the most timid to move a foot, he also gave us “Better than yesterday“. The guy, with all the wisdom, declared that songs are bridges between people. And yes, on a night like this, even the cheesiest song feels like a collective hug through the screen.
From Bisbal to Rivera: The Parade of Emotions and Nostalgic Playlists
Then came the turn of the Spaniard David Bisbal, who entered the stage with the energy of someone who had just won a Ballon d’Or. With a medley of his hits that included “Díganle“, “Ave María” and “Bulería“, the guy excitedly shouted “long live the Telethon!”, a phrase that he probably chanted with the same passion as we do when our favorite karaoke comes on. To crown the moment, there was a nod to “Cielito Lindo” in a dynamic with Yordi Rosado and Galilea Montijo that reminded us that, in the end, we are all that Apache at the family party. Bisbal, moved to tears, dropped the pearl: “It is a beauty how the people come together to help the people who need it most, I also remember when Juan Gabriel arrived.” A moment so emotional that even the memes paused.
The artistic caravan continued with Alex Syntek, who, as if he were the DJ of solidarity, played the official anthem “Teletón changes everything.” Almost at the end, it was time for Carlos Rivera, who with his voice made us all sigh. He performed “Let what is ours stay ours“, “Someone” and “Give me back my heart“. But the moment that broke our soul into a thousand pieces was when, a cappella, he sang an excerpt from “Si te vas” to a girl who survived cancer. It was so intense that even the neighbor who never shows emotions surely shed a tear. “I feel very honored, we have to donate and help our children in Mexico, you have already seen these wonderful stories that are thanks to you and our help,” he said before going on to make his respective donation. Then we all ran to check our bank accounts to see if we could follow suit.
And since every good closing needs a touch of controlled chaos, Omar Chaparro appeared to sing “Start to Live“, a song so new that it still smells of factory plastic, and of course, it made half the country dance. Then, Pablo Alborán, one of the last artists to step on stage, gave us “Mis 36” (premiered a couple of weeks ago, because what better place for a debut than a charity marathon) and “Saturno“. The Spaniard, with his heart in his hand, confessed: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what this wonderful Teleton is doing, I wish there were millions of Telethons like the one in Mexico in the entire world, for me everything that is happening tonight is very important, I was back there listening to the stories and it moves me, it excites me and it makes us believe in human beings again.” Words that, in a world full of hate, are like finding a like on a controversial comment.
The final act was an epic collaboration between Alexander Acha, Yahir, Lucero Mijares and María León, who closed the Teletón 2025 with songs like “Míralo Míralo” and “Persiana Americana“, accompanied by an army of dancers who gave it the touch of spectacle worthy of a season finale of your favorite series. It was confirmation that, when it comes to joining forces, Mexico does not play.
