Almost two hours late, at 10.55pm the lights in the River Plate stadium go out and María Becerra’s show begins. “Good night River Plate,” she says and appears on stage, with the song Tell me how I do it Then Pool. Becerra was supposed to sing 31 songs in his first River.
The delay was due to “technical problems”. During the time it took to start the show they tested the stage lights and rear screens. There was only one. People were screaming and shouting “let him out, let him out, let him out”, and then they booed directly.
Previously, the opening acts had been rapper Emanero (“It’s a sign that will remain in music forever, I want to thank Mary for life,” he said) and the quartet’s singer Valentina Márquez.
What happened on Friday night at the River Plate stadium was epic. The young singer Maria Becerra (24) became the first female singer in the history of Argentina to fill the largest football field, but not only locally, but in all of South America. She repeats herself this Saturday, again at the Monumental, with tickets completely sold out.
La Nena from Argentina sang accompanied by dancers.The commotion of the eighty-five thousand souls present, in addition to the back and forth between the singer and her audience, demonstrated that today The Argentine girl (as she is nicknamed) is one of the most important figures in the world.
For this reason, such an event has become a memorable event, for which the Quilmes artist already marks a before and after in the female musical sphere, here in the south of the continent.
After numerous concerts in open-air stadiums with his current tour La Nena de Argentina, he had previously pleasantly surprised at the Municipal Velodrome in Uruguay and at the International Song Festival of Viña del Mar, Chile, with a very important detail: none of the live concerts his performances are the same, he always bets on changes, both in his image and in his songbook list.
The case of Maria Becerra can be, on the one hand, obvious, on the other inexplicable: the young singer born in the southern suburbs of Buenos Aires would never have imagined such a coronation in just a handful of years. Because just five years ago she was a YouTuber who, suddenly, bet her career on music and became a youth icon who never stopped growing.
Since her commitment to art was an immediate agenda in her life, Maria had to put aside her communication space, YouTube, to focus on her songs, rehearsals, music videos and world tours.
In any case, he avoids making many reports, preferring to choose to communicate with his supporters through other social networks, talking about his life, his tastes and what his days are like. For example, through one of her messages, she stated that she considers herself bisexual.
All the classics by María Becerra
In 2019, with the release of his debut EP, the song Tell me how I do it It immediately conquered the youth masses thanks to Spotify and from then on it never stopped growing.
Then he shared singles with J. Balvin and Tini, in whose spaces he stood out with notoriety. Without a doubt she was a different girl.
Then came their first album, titled Animal, with whom he toured throughout Latin America and Spain. Even if she didn’t end there: she has collaborated with almost all the current pops of urban music: from Nicki Nicole and Camila Bello, to Tiago PZK and Lit Killah, among many famous people of the moment.
His biggest hits are songs like Automatic (it is still the most impactful among the discos in the world), Animal, Caramel, My weakness AND Wow Wow, among others. This third daughter of the marriage between a cardiologist and a nurse has never stopped walking.
Although much earlier, when she was just a teenager, she studied singing and musical comedy at Valeria Lynch’s school. Likewise, she has always stood out in the group of friends in the neighborhood where she was born; She also had a period where she played women’s soccer in a pasture.
The truth is that currently La Nena from Argentina has become a musical typhoon who, after winning the award in Buenos Aires, her immediate plan is to cross the Atlantic to shine on the stages of Oropesa del Mar, Santander, Mallorca and Torre Vieja, Spain, where he will certainly have something to talk about for his artistic enthusiasm on every stage where he will have to go up to sing and dance.
