Magic_boXX Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) Quote Shakira will be headlining the Besame Mucho Festival, taking place at Dodger Stadium on Dec. 21. The single-day event, now in its third year, focuses on Latin music, booking acts from a variety of genres, from Latin rock and pop to musica Mexicana and Tejano. Enrique Iglesias, Los Tigres del Norte and Banda MS have also been announced as headliners. Besame Mucho will be Shakira's first official festival as a headliner after a whirlwind year and a half that saw her release "Bzrp Music Sessions #53," a diss track with Argentine producer Bizarrap that took aim at former partner Gerard Piqué. https://www.latimes.com/delos/story/2024-05-21/shakira-besame-mucho-fest-lineup-pitbull-enrique-iglesias https://www.besamemuchofestival.com/los-angeles Edited May 30 by Magic_boXX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are all pioneers in the Latin music scene. if she shows love to the Latin community and sticks with her peers is bad, if she sticks to Anglo based festivals is also bad. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic_boXX Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 (edited) I've never heard of this event but Shakira will make this event huge! I bet after, this festival is going to be something everyone wants to perform. I'm glad she's giving small festivals a shot, more people who never get a chance to see Shakira now have an opportunity to. Remember Coachella started out small and look at it now.

I get that, it was mainly a Banda regional Mexican, 90s rock festival. but I guess they're switching it up a little I guess try making it like the Latin Coachella or something. what a better way than to fill it with newbies and Latin Music veterans. im surprised Thalia not doing it. She probably wanted to headline and got the Shakira treatment for Coachella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mellark Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Besame Mucho making onto ATRL This is like the third year the festival is going to happen here in the city and it is always a shitshow because seeing all those acts in 1 day feels very crammed. Should be a two-day festival thing and that was attendees said for the past two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to all Bésame Mucho Festivals! I even flew to Austin and loved it! There are so many people that I want to see this time: Shakira, Belanova, Gloria Trevi, Yuridia, Paulina Rubio, María José, Amanda Miguel, Danna Paola, Moenia, Marisela and Beto Cuevas!! I'm scared Shakira and Belanova will perform at the same time as someone else. 12 hours ago, AvadaKedavra said: Omg the lineup is iconic not reggaeton stars in sight.

Why bother supporting an artist if it's always gonna be an issue with anything she tries. is Shakira she always hypes things up and ends up giving it her minimalist production touch. Who ever is expecting her to serve celebration tour costume changes or production is in for a rude awakening. Is not who she is. I mean production company she's working with is already a major upgrade from her old tours but I'm sure she's gonna find a way to give it that Shakira touch, even Super Bowl she didn't even go all out and she shut everybody up that thought she couldn't deliver.

The criticisms stem from the fact she has almost given up completely on her artistry and has practically transformed into someone else which is a jarring difference to the person she used to be years ago. Calling that out is not completely unreasonable or just random 'hate'; she has erased what made her interesting in the past and she's not a solo artist anymore, just a collab vessel for her label, plus she refuses to actually sing live which is a whole other issue on its own. She's in desperate need of a rebranding as she enters her legacy era with forgettable TikTok-fied music. That's just my take, but many share the same sentiment. The main reason we, the older fans, are attending this tour just get a fix of our favorite old songs (albeit prerecorded but still) and let that nostalgia take us over for a pleasant 1 hour and 45 minutes. Most gave up on the 'album' after the release week anyway, there's not much to go back to for another listen. I'm positive it was twitter fans who hyped a Renaissance type of tour , the rest of us know very damn well that she's never been a huge production artist no matter the company she uses for her stage design. She's worked with Es Devlin for her past tours and we all know examples of Es Devlin's work for other artists versus what Shakira had on her tours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I totally agree with you, what I'm saying is the ones hyping this tour up are just setting themselves up. Everybody was comparing el dorado to Coldplay's stage production and look what we got lol this is basically gonna be a nostalgia tour and that's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
