Last Friday, August 27, the 25 years of separation of the emblematic Mexican band the Bukis, for those led by Marco Antonio Solís met with a full house at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Thus, the Michoacan natives kicked off a reunion tour that will take place in the coming weeks in several cities in the United States, such as Chicago and Houston. As for dates in Mexico, the band has not announced anything.
Several generations of Latinos have grown up with the snatched cries of broken love, wounded hearts, and torn feelings from Los Bukis.
That’s why, in the seats of the Sofi Stadium, which in NFL games has a capacity for 70,000 spectators, a crowd of children were seen who had brought their parents to the concert as a gift.
“Let’s sing to love,” Solís summed up just starting a recital that began with “My Fantasy.”
With red pants and a bright black jacket, The Bukis soon let go of one of those lamentations of torn love, which are the specialty of the house, with “How I went to fall in love with you“.
But it was another intense ballad already uncovered, “Love Me”, which definitely activated the crowded karaoke of an audience that knew the lyrics from start to finish.
With several screens reinforcing the staging, and which showed curious images of the group in its golden age, The Bukis opted for a very colorful and bright stage reminiscent of those 80s and 90s in which they swept wherever they set foot..
Despite some problems with the echo – common in stadium concerts – the group boasted a compact and seamless sound.
Much of the blame for this lay with bassist Eusebio goat Courteous, in a state of enviable shape and with magnificent precision at all times.
But it is clear that the key component of Los Bukis is the proud voice of Marc Antonio Solís, who, with an imposing presence on stage, it shone in songs like “My greatest need” or an impressive “I agree with my defeat.”
In any case, not everything was tears for relationships shattered or sighs for love that never will be.
Still Eusebio goat Cortés affectionately referred to his fans as “hardened romantics”, The Bukis saved space for dancing and partying, with many touches of cumbia, in “My najayita”, “Morenita” and “My poor heart” .
Marco Antonio Solís remembered his daughter Beatriz before dedicating “Beautiful Girl” to her and was also very happy to see again “smiles” from his fans, especially in such turbulent times around the world.
The Bukis would not have been able to organize a big comeback tour without the loyalty and incorruptible passion of their fans.
But the band, which has never hidden its spiritual tone, has stressed on several occasions that if they were together again it was by divine action.
“This tour is an idea of God. We give him all the credit“, Stated Marc Antonio Solís, who defended that” there are no impossible “with the mediation of God.
No one would say that The Bukis began their march in the distant 1976, as tonight they offered about thirty songs in two hours with almost no interruptions or pauses to catch their breath.
The final stretch began with “I need you” and, already with all the audience standing and mobile phones on like the old lighters, The Bukis reached the top with the excellent and unappealable “I need a partner” and ” Your prison. “
Of course, the audience wasn’t going to let their idols say goodbye so easily.
Thus, the Bukis returned to the scene for several encores like “To that one” or “If you saw how” before saying goodbye embraced and with the arms up, the ideal brooch for a dream reunion after 25 years of absence.
