The concert was a celebration of shared memories, love, and the enduring power of music that transcends borders and time.
With great anticipation, the brothers promised the audience a night filled with those cherished songs that have marked significant moments in their lives. “We are going to sing those songs with which you fell in love, got married, had children and grandchildren,” the charismatic vocalist and guitarist declared, kicking off the evening with a rendition of “Tu Infame Engaño,” one of their classic hits from the 1980s.
