Gloria Estefan concert chronology

The 90 Millas World Tour is the seventh concert tour by singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan, the tour was performed primarily for her Spanish audience but also for the Dutch, Irish and British who have been her most ardent supporters.

Contents

The tour was promoted by concert touring company Live Nation, [1] which also promotes shows for other international acts such as Madonna, U2 and Jay-Z.

Tour history

This tour was made in part to promote the album sales of her latest effort 90 Millas , though initially the tour was a rumour only made by some Estefan fans on their forums, in May 2008 was announced by Estefan herself to a Spanish newspaper that the tour would come true for the summer season. This marked the first time in twelve years since Estefan made a tour to the European continent.

The tour started with only two legs, but both were for Europe, the first leg was for the concerts in Valencia and Marbella, Spain. The second leg started with the sold-out concert at Rotterdam, Netherlands [2] and initially the tour would start at The Netherlands, and then will pass to Spain, but at last-time the concert started in Valencia for unknown reasons. [3] Later, in 2009 the second leg was expanded to Latin American countries. [4]

The tour was very simple and was partially made by all the Estefan's greatest hits, adding to some dates different songs at the encore section. At least one song of every album released by Estefan was added to set list:

Estefan sang the collaboration with Só Pra Contrariar "Santo Santo" as part of the encore of the Tenerife concert; this time the song was sung a cappella and with the public. The song was later added to the running order in her concerts of 2009 as a virtual duet with Só Pra Contrair on the video screen.

Estefan also made some covers, the first was Connie Francis hit "Where the Boys Are;" this song was sung at the concerts in London, Belfast, Rotterdam, and Hollywood. Another cover made by Estefan was her collaboration with Jennifer Lopez "Let's Get Loud" which was written by Estefan herself for Lopez's debut album. For the Madrid and Tenerife concerts Estefan made a cover of Joselito with his song "El Ruiseñor". [5] In Liverpool, she sang a cover of "One Day in Your Life" as a tribute to Michael Jackson. [6]

For the British concert on September 10, 2008, Estefan added a special song for the show, her rendition of Mel Carter's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me," which is until today one of Estefan's biggest selling singles at the UK. [7]

Estefan also made some other encores at other concerts, at Madrid, Estefan made again the same rendition as she did at the Wembley Stadium of Mel Carter, and she also sang an acoustic version of her song "Always Tomorrow" and the cover of Joselito.

Though not included at first at the places to visit of the tour, Estefan was named along with REO Speedwagon the headliners for the 2008 Aruba Music Festival, [8] leading to a free performance at October 11.

One of the highlights of the tour was when Estefan surprised the audience and brought out her 13-year-old daughter Emily. The audience received Emily with an ovation and she performed to the audience playing the electric guitar and the drums in all the tour. Emily Estefan made a cover of Alice Cooper's "School's Out". [9] In 2009 the song was replaced by Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music."

Latin American leg

The tour was rescheduled for performances at some Latin American countries such as Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador. For some countries such as Uruguay, it was the first time Estefan came to visit during her music career, [10] while for Argentina it was the first time in almost ten years to come around again. Although is the same leg of the above-mentioned, the show was renamed "90 Millas - The Latin American Tour 2009".

The show at Uruguay is one of the most successful concerts given by Estefan and due to the high and fast sales of the tickets, another date was added making it the only place of the tour to had a double-date. The two concerts at Uruguay were sold-out. [11] [12]

Jalisco en Vivo 2009

Though not included at first, due to the main problem of the Swine influenza illness around the world, Estefan, along with other Latin American artists, would perform at a free concert, called "Jalisco en Vivo 2009," at Guadalajara, Mexico as part of a free-concert series in which Alejandro Fernández, who worked before with Estefan for the song "En El Jardín" was the official organizer of a campaign to promote tourism in Mexico after the epidemic. [13] Estefan's sang her hit, "Con Los Años Que Me Quedan," as well as the duets, "En El Jardín" and "Si Nos Dejan" with Alejandro Ferenández at the Glorieta de la Minerva. [14] The date officially given for the performance was on June 27, 2009.

Estefan extended her 90 Millas Latin American Tour starting in Puerto Rico on October 10, along with a show in Panama, and the closing of the tour in Mexico.
