Shakira and The Ghetto Kids prepare a show for the World Cup final

Grupo Firme seeks record at the GNP Seguros Stadium

Only Grupo Firme could surpass its own brand. The Tijuana group, led by Eduin Caz, is close to reaching 10 performances at the GNP Seguros Stadium, consolidating itself as the greatest exponent of the Mexican regional team on that stage.

This weekend—Friday, July 18 and Saturday, July 19—they will offer two concerts as part of their “La Última Peda” tour. Tickets are still available on Ticketmaster, although in limited quantities. The Cumbia Pedregal group will open both nights.

How to get there and what to bring

The most practical option is the Metro: Ciudad Deportiva station, Line 9. Those traveling by car should leave in advance due to the high vehicle load. Among the permitted items are cell phones, power banks, small bags and prescription medications. Food, drinks, large backpacks, vapes, umbrellas and sharp objects are prohibited.

Possible repertoire

Although the band has not revealed the official setlist, based on recent concerts, songs such as “Pídeme”, “Congratulations”, “Ya Supérame”, “El Tóxico”, “Alaska”, “Calidad” and ” Gracias “, among other hits, are expected.

The controversy over Pedro Sola’s sayings does not go away. The driver of Ventaneando, 79 years old, expressed his rejection of the presence of dogs in restaurants and shopping centers. He said he felt like throwing poisoned meat at them or shooting their owners. His words unleashed a wave of criticism.

“I don’t tolerate dogs in the store, dogs in the supermarket, dogs shitting in the restaurant… Wanting to throw a piece of poisoned meat… I want to shoot them… at the owners,” declared Sola.

Reaction from TV Azteca

The company issued a statement. He reaffirmed that respect for animals is part of his values. He announced that he will reinforce awareness-raising actions among his collaborators. Several brands have already withdrawn their advertising from the program.

Apio Quijano raises his voice

The Kabah member did not remain silent. Through a video, he described Sola’s comments as irresponsible and out of place.

“Clearly he is not a person known for giving intelligent information… but talking about poisoning animals is cruelty,” said Apio.

He called to think twice before expressing himself, because now the public has a voice. In addition, he shared a photo of his dog Ofelia with a shirt that says “Be careful with Pedro”, alluding to the viral meme. Ofelia accumulates more than 23 thousand followers on Instagram.

Apio stressed that times have changed: what was once taken as a joke, today has real consequences.

Farewell to a character actress

The Irish performer Brenda Fricker, winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1990 for My Left Foot, died at the age of 81. The news was confirmed by his representative, Phil Belfield, in statements to the BBC.

“We will never see someone like her again and the world is a worse place without her presence,” Belfield said. “It was an honor to know her, love her and work with her.”

According to Hello! magazine, the actress faced health problems before her departure. For millions of viewers, Fricker was recorded as the endearing “pigeon lady” in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, although her career was much broader.

More than a Christmas character

Fricker conquered Hollywood with her role as a mother in My Left Foot, alongside Daniel Day-Lewis. He also stood out on British television with series such as Casualty and films such as Omagh and A Man of No Importance. However, for global audiences, his bond with the Central Park character was indelible.

In 2020, on the program The Ray D’Arcy Show, the actress spoke about loneliness at Christmas. I lived alone and faced those dates harshly.

“I would be lying if I said it would be a nice and happy Christmas because… I’m older and I live alone. It can be very dark,” she confessed. He turned off the phone, closed the blinds and spent the days with his dog and recorded programs.

He acknowledged that New Year’s was the most difficult time: “There was no one to hug or smile.” To the host who pointed out the irony of so many families watching her every Christmas on the screen while she was alone, she responded: “Well, the pigeon lady was very lonely.” A legacy of honesty and talent.
