The Chilean-Mexican singer Mon Laferte was presented Thursday evening in Buenos Aires as part of his international tour Autopoietic Tour 2024, but I didn’t expect the date to coincide with that invasion of mosquitoes that the city is suffering and was stung in the middle of the show.
The meeting between the artist and the Argentine public took place at the Movistar Arena with a show that lasted more than two and a half hours and included 33 songs from his repertoire and a tango to pay homage to Mercedes Sosa.
The Chilean is a self-proclaimed fan of the well-known Argentine artist, she said she has one of his albums that she knew by heart when she was little and singing The dizziness (by Enrique Cadícamo and Juan Carlos Cobián), accompanied by the accordion of a local musician called Gauche, in front of an audience thrilled by this surprise.
While the show, which featured dancers and musicians, went through all moods, from party, to dancing, to heartbreaking song Your lack of desire, no one imagined it the singer would be interrupted by some unwanted visitors: mosquitoes.
The invasion of this insect, which keeps the city of Buenos Aires in suspense and its surroundings due to the spread of dengue disease, also reached the world of live entertainment.
Before I start playing the sad ranchera my heart will burnNorma Monserrat Bustamante Laferte, as her full name is, He said with the guitar in his hand that a mosquito had bitten it.
There is always a first time
“This is the first time this has happened to me in a show”he confessed and the audience laughed at the unusual situation.
THE the discomfort caused by the bite was so great that he had to break off the subjectsince the animal had just attacked her right hand, it was difficult for her to play the instrument.
At the end of that song, Mon was bitten again by a mosquito, but this time on the left shoulderso he asked the organization to do it the repellent would hit him.
Immediately someone from the team approached with a spray and Laferte thanked him for “saving his life.”
Then he asked this person to do it distribute that item among the audience so that they could also protect themselves.
But the collaborator clarified to the naturalized Mexican artist that this has not been possible since then The repellent wasn’t theirs, but belonged to someone in the audience. who had lent it to him specifically.
Even if we hope that he was not infected, the situation will remain as an anecdote of a beautiful night in Buenos Aires.
