Twenty years have gone by since his first performance in the Asian
giant, but the Chinese never forgot him - the voice of Julio Iglesias,
“Huliao” in Mandarin, was heard once more over the weekend in Beijing at
a concert where the audience gave itself up to the rhythm and charisma
of an artist whose career goes on and on.
The singer’s voice and popular lyrics echoed Sunday through the
theater of the Beijing Exhibition Center before more than 2,000 people,
an audience he held in the palm of his hand and who “sang” along with
the artist on some of his hits and those of other well-known performers.
“He’s a very good singer. It’s the first time I’ve heard him and he
reminds me of Spain, a country with passion and with good music and
dancing,” Zhou Li Na, who went to see the show, told Efe.
The language in no way hindered Julio from connecting with the
audience, with whom he constantly interacted during the almost two-hour
concert.
“Thank you China, thank you Beijing,” the artist said on numerous
occasions, winning over the audience from the moment he went onstage by
dedicating a few words to those hurt by the recent earthquake in Sichuan
province.
“This is a difficult day for the Chinese people. The earthquake has
changed the lives of thousands of people. My heart, my feelings, my
emotions, my praise and my passion go out to those who are suffering,”
the 69-year-old singer said.
After three stops in China, Iglesias leaves for Singapore and Taiwan,
after which he will return to his own country, Spain, on a tour that
has taken him around the world, from Russia to Asia.
