Gloria Trevi turned the National Auditorium into a space for celebration and remembrance. The artist offered a concert that paid tribute to Jenni Rivera, one of the most emblematic figures of regional Mexican music.
He entered the stage amidst smoke and guitar chords, with an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on his chest. He started with “Old Shoes” and immediately his 10 thousand followers stood up. The euphoria was constant: his every gesture provoked applause and shouts.
Moments of emotion
When songs like “The potato without ketchup” began, Trevi removed the religious image out of respect. Then came “Try it to me”, “Dressed in sugar” and “I laugh at you”, where she showed her most uninhibited side.
The climax came when he introduced Jacqie Rivera, daughter of his friend Jenni. Together they performed “A hug.” Jacqie could barely sing from the emotion; Trevi hugged her and gave her a second voice while images of the Diva de la Banda with her family were projected on screens.
“I want to thank you for opening this place to me, I really did feel my mother’s presence. Thank you very much for keeping the memory of that woman alive, of our mother. She always said that the love of the stage, of her audience, was not compared to anything else,” said Jacqie, accompanied by her sisters Chiquis and Jenicka.
National pride and vibrant closure
With mariachi, Trevi performed “That female is bad” and “Let them suffer with what I enjoy.” He shouted “Long live Mexico, bastards!” and he put on the charro hat to sing “La ley del monte”, “El ingrato” and, through a video, “Porqué me haces cry” with Juan Gabriel. He invited Omar Chaparro to “Go back, go back.”
The finale came with “You Didn’t Want to Hurt Me” and “Loose Hair.” The stage was filled with fans. After a brief darkness, the attendees’ crowns of light illuminated the room. The audience asked for more and Trevi responded with “How I Love You”, “Everyone Looks at Me”, “Dr. Psychiatrist” and “Tomorrow”.
