Alborán will appear first at the Banamex Auditorium in Monterrey on April 23, then at the National Auditorium in the Mexican capital the following day, and finally the day after that at the Telmex Auditorium in Guadalajara, says the promotion company Ocesa.

During the tour, which kicks off in Colombia February 28 and make its way through Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Mexico before returning to Spanish soil, Alborán will offer “to his thousands of fans his greatest hits and also numbers from his new album that provides the name for the tour,” the promoter said.

Alborán was in Mexico in March 2014 to give a recital in the capital’s famed Metropolitan Theater, “showing why he is one of the top idols of the 21st century.”

Alborán gained acclaim over social media. Prior to 2010, he was an unknown artist airing his music on YouTube.

In 2011, when he released his first album, the millions of fans who’d followed him on the Internet eagerly awaited the recordings they already knew so well. He was nominated for three Latin Grammy Awards that year.

Sanz will appear on October 1-2 in the Mexican capital’s National Auditorium, where he’ll sing numbers from his latest album La Musica No Se Toca, as well as some of his greatest hits like “Amiga Mia” and “Corazon Partio.”

It was in Mexico City at the Foro Sol arena last October that Sanz kicked off the tour that has taken him to cities around the United States, Latin America and Spain.

Before his concerts here, Sanz plans to visit Mexico to take part in the International Mariachi Conference to be held between Aug. 28 and Sept. 8 in the western city of Guadalajara.

Spain will be the guest country at that event and so the Spanish singer-songwriter will give a concert on Sept. 7 at Guadalajara’s Telmex Auditorium.

Taking a break from the tour, the artist is currently on a trip to the Arctic with Greenpeace to raise awareness about the importance of preserving that polar region and to try and stop its commercial exploitation, basically by unsustainable industrial fishing and drilling for oil.

She may be known for her larger-than-life persona and voice, but Monica Naranjo is being touted for her exceptional fight for gay rights.

The 37-year-old Spanish singer, who has sold more than eight million albums worldwide, received the Maguey Prize over the weekend at Mexico’s Guadalajara International Film Festival for her work on behalf of the gay community.

Hypocrisy still prevents people in many places from accepting public displays of love by same-sex couples, says the “Desátame” singer.

“The path is a bit more open now in Spain, but there is still a lot of hypocrisy, it is still not viewed well to have homosexuals walking down the street with their partner,” says Naranjo.

In addition, the singer says The Spanish government has an “outstanding debt” with the gay community and needs to allow single people to adopt children, according to the singer.

Naranjo dedicated the prize to those who have been fighting “for decades” for gay rights.

The Guadalajara International Film Festival is screening a selection of gay and lesbian films.

Naranjo received the prize after performing in the last show of her 1950s-themed “Madame Noir” tour, which ran for a year and ended Sunday night at the Telmex Auditorium in Guadalajara, the capital of the western Mexican state of Jalisco.
