The “El Último Baile Tour,” a musical journey led by vallenato stars Silvestre Dangond and Juancho De La Espriella, has been sweeping through Colombia, leaving a trail of sold-out shows and unforgettable moments. This past week, the tour descended upon Bucaramanga, transforming the Américo Montanini Stadium into a sea of fans eager for a night of music and emotion. The city, a known stronghold for silvestrismo, proved its deep affection for the artist as over 30,000 people filled the venue, making it the third consecutive sold-out show for the tour.
A Concert Filled with Emotion and Tributes
For nearly five hours, the audience was captivated as Silvestre performed his greatest hits, including classics like “Cantinero” and “Volvamos a Ser Novios.” The energy was palpable, with every corner of the stadium echoing with the sound of thousands singing along. The night was also filled with deeply personal moments that resonated with everyone present. Silvestre surprised his loved one, Piery Avendaño, with a heartfelt birthday celebration on stage, serenading her with “La Vallenata.” The concert also paid tribute to the genre’s legends, with Silvestre performing acoustic versions of songs to honor the late Omar Geles and Kaleth Morales. The tribute was a powerful reminder of the genre’s rich history and the artists who shaped it.
A Heartfelt Thanks to the Fans
The grand finale saw Silvestre donning the local Atlético Bucaramanga jersey, a gesture of thanks to the city that has supported him for decades. As he shared with the crowd, “Bucaramanga, once again, I reaffirm the love you have for all of silvestrismo. Thank you, thank you. How beautiful! We’ve been here since 2005.” This sentiment perfectly captured the night’s theme of gratitude and connection between the artist and his fans. The tour, produced by Diomar García Eventos, Stage Eventos, and Metroconcierto, is a testament to the enduring power of vallenato music.
The Tour Continues
While Bucaramanga experienced a night of pure magic, the tour is far from over. The silvestrista wave is now headed to Barranquilla on September 20, where the “Las Locuras de Silvestre” house has already welcomed hundreds of fans. Following that, the tour will visit Medellín, Cartagena, and several other cities across Colombia, promising more nights of music and celebration. If you haven’t secured your tickets, head over to TUBOLETA to be part of what is sure to be one of the most successful tours in Colombian music history.
