A ECSTATIC NOKIA THEATER IN THE HEART OF TIMES SQUARE WELCOMED BACK LUIS FONSI TO THE UNITED STATES AFTER HAVING JUST SOLD-OUT A TEN CITY TOUR IN SPAIN
During a show that went well over an hour and a half, Fonsi performed all his hits which already tally up to 6 NUMBER ONES on the HOT LATIN SONGS chart of Billboard and also performed the songs that have always been number ones in the hearts of his fans, songs that the whole theater sang in unison with Fonsi. He thanked his fans for their continuous support throughout his 10 year career and for his thirteen nominations for this year’s Premio Juventud, a new record for the highest one year tally in the award show’s history, nominations determined by online fan voting. Without a doubt this was an unforgettable night where Fonsi was able to interact with his New York fans.
Luis Fonsi continues his tour in the United States this weekend with shows in the following cities:
· June 12: Washington, DC – Fur Night Club
· June 13: Hartford, CT – Webster Theatre
· June 14: Boston MA – Club Lido
Fonsi notched a second consecutive week as the NUMBER ONE Latin song in the country with AQUÍ ESTOY YO, second single form his album PALABRAS DEL SILENCIO. “Aquí Estoy Yo” has also reached the number one spot in Chile and the Top 5 in Mexico, Central America and the rest of Latin America. “Palabras Del Silencio” has reached DOUBLE PLATINUM status in the U.S. and Venezuela and GOLD status in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.
Aside form his shows this weekend in the U.S., Luis Fonsi has confirmed his participation in the shows that will take place in Jalisco, Mexico, organized by Alejandro Fernandez in a show of support for tourism in that country; these concerts will take place on June 20th and 27th.
“Mr. Fonsi’s artfully constructed ‘Palabras Del Silencio’ was one of last year’s best Latin records. Though his songs are hugely ambitious, Mr. Fonsi never oversings them…. Instead this is an album as suited to small rooms as huge arenas, which Mr. Fonsi will certainly keep filing, given that the single ‘No Me Doy Por Vencido’ has spent the majority of the last six months atop the Latin music chart.”- New York Times
“Luis Fonsi [is] one of Latin pop's most accomplished vocalists, one who is not only popular but creative... Palabras del Silencio includes a bounty of hit singles.” – iTunes/All Music
“Palabras del Silencio is Luis Fonsi's most ambitious and most mature musical statement…. The [album] is splendid, a varied and confident opus… Fonsi's creative breakthrough… Silencio confirms his membership in the Latin music superstar club. The album's first single, the beautifully emotive ballad "No Me Doy Por Vencido," spent a staggering 19 weeks at the top of Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart.” – Dallas Morning News
