The iconic quartet, Il Divo, fell in love with Maspalomas as they delivered a memorable concert last night (Saturday), leaving the audience spellbound with a perfect blend of new hits and timeless classics. On a stage filled with emotion and nostalgia, the quartet proved once again why they are unparalleled in their genre.
the Maspalomas Parque Sur Amphitheatre was bursting at the seams as fans eagerly gathered to witness a performance that held a special significance. This was the same stage where Il Divo last graced Spanish soil with Carlos Marín, before his untimely death. The memory of the late Spanish artist added a unique, magical touch to the evening.
This extraordinary event was organized by the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council and produced by DN7 Music. The concert featured world-class stage design, setting the perfect backdrop for Il Divo's enchanting voices. Urs Bühler, David Miller, and Sébastien Izambard introduced their new member, the Mexican-American tenor Steven Labrie, who was performing in the Canary Islands for the first time.
Labrie expressed his joy, saying, "I am very happy to accompany Il Divo on this adventure. They invited me to be with them during a challenging period, and now they have restored my confidence by welcoming me as a full-time member of the quartet."
Steven Labrie's performance was emotionally charged and showcased his exceptional vocal talent, proving he was the right choice to fill the void left by Carlos Marín.
Il Divo captured the hearts of the audience from the very first note, with their powerful vocals and a stage that transformed to suit each song. The music, provided by the live band from Gáldar, added to the grandeur of this unique event. Since their debut in the early 2000s, Il Divo has consistently graced global music charts and their latest performance only solidified their status as musical legends.
The "A New Day Tour" by Urs Bühler, David Miller, Sébastien Izambard, and Steven Labrie was a resounding success. Songs like "My Girl," "Adagio," "Senza Catene," and "The Man You Love" were met with thunderous applause, and the artists engaged with the audience, taking photos, signing records, and even singing "Happy Birthday" to a woman upon her granddaughter's request.
The evening began with a spectacular performance by a supporting DJ, setting the perfect ambience for an unforgettable night.
Il Divo, an Italian term meaning "divine artist," have enjoyed global acclaim, selling over 35 million albums worldwide and earning more than 160 Gold and Platinum Discs in 35 countries.
