“We were going to do it in May to coincide with the celebration of Mother’s Day but at that time I was still scared, I didn’t want to go out.”
Gradually, D’Alessio’s faith increased and fear gave way to confidence thanks to Psalm 91.
“My decision to go out after a year has to do with reading these verses: ‘He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will dwell in the shadow of the Almighty.’ ‘shadow of the omnipotent and no plague will come upon me.’
While he was at quarantine, Lupita never lost sight of the importance of music in her life: “It’s essential in humans, music can’t die. Producers and managers should be called upon to move a bit more to do these concerts online. “We’ve been without concerts for too long.”

It’s a concert for 50 years of career and that’s why it starts with a poem I wrote in 1986 ”.
“This poem reflects what I think of spirituality, of what happens when you are poor in spirit, selfish.
“We had a chance to put in more songs, some of which we didn’t put in a long time ago. For example, ‘It’s a danger’, which I really like. It’s 22 songs for almost two hours of concert in which I also talk a bit about who we are. living now “.
Because although he already has enough faith to go out and give this concert, D’Alessio is clear that the pandemic is not over: “I don’t want to sing victory; we still hope that the vaccine arrive “.
