Los Angeles, United States.
The eternal and unattainable romanticism of the Bukis return this Friday with a triumphant concert in Los Angeles (USA) that ended 25 years of separation from the iconic Mexican band.
With Marc Antonio Solís at the helm, Michoacán filled the huge SoFi Stadium of the California city to kick off a reunion tour that will take place in the coming weeks through places like Chicago or Houston (USA).
Several generations of Latinos have grown up with snatched cries of broken love, wounded hearts, and torn feelings of the Bukis.
That’s why, in the seats of the Sofi Stadium, which in the 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 they soon let go of one of those laments 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 mass 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 they 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 “Chivo” Cortés, in a state of enviable shape and with magnificent precision at all times.
But it is clear that the key component of the Bukis is the proud voice of Marc Antonio Solís, Who, with an imposing presence on stage, showed off in songs like “My biggest need“Or an awesome”I agree with my defeat“.
In any case, not everything was tears for relationships shattered or sighs for love that never will be.
Although Eusebio “Chivo” Cortés affectionately referred to his fans as “hardened romantics”, The Bukis kept space for dancing and partying, with many touches of cumbia, to “Mi najayita“,”Morenita“I”My poor heart“.
Marco Antonio Solís remembered his daughter Beatriz before dedicating it “pretty girl“And he was also very happy to see ‘smiles’ from his fans again, especially in such turbulent times around the world.
the Bukis they would not have been able to organize a great 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,” said Marc Antonio Solís, who argued that “there are no impossibilities” with God’s mediation.
No one would say that the Bukis they 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 finish line started with “I need you“And, with all the audience standing and mobile phones on like old lighters, the Bukis they reached the top with the excellent and unappealable “I need a partner“I”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“O”If you saw how“Before saying goodbye hugged and with his arms up, the ideal cherry to a dream reunion after 25 years of absence.
