SANTA ROSA, CA. (Top40 Charts/
Pepe Aguilar Official Website/ Wells Fargo Center for the Arts) - Touring in support of his new album "Enamorado," Grammy-winning Latin music superstar
Pepe Aguilar is coming to
Santa Rosa to celebrate the songs of his youth. The special one-night-only concert,
September 7 in Wells Fargo Center for the Arts' intimate 1600 seat theater, will feature songs from Aguilar's incredible career, including "Enamorado's" collection of ballads about the thrill, the mystery, the wonder, and, yes, the heartbreak of romance.
"Enamorado" is an album for generations past and present, as Aguilar continues to weave his special magic, blending traditional Mariachi sounds with contemporary pop music styling. It's his 16th release in a remarkable career that spans 25 years and began alongside his parents, entertainers who traveled the Americas with their family.
"I first heard most of these songs on my mother's record player when I was a little boy," he fondly says. "Some of the artists are people I admire very much."
Among the bold re-workings on the album are Julio Iglesias' "Rio Rebelde," Alberto Cortez' "No Soy De Aqui," "Espejo," which was a hit for Lupita D'Alessio and Emmanuel's "Todo Se Derrumbo." Another key song is "Los Ejes De Mi Carreta" by Argentina's legendary Atahualpa Yupanqui. "It's like a South American "My Way," Aguilar says.
Pepe Aguilar is a true musical ambassador, ready once again to bring his message of song to the entire world with the release of "Enamorado." "More than ever, the world is totally open to other cultures, musically speaking. We are going to Europe, to Spain, Italy and beyond." And of course, his massive following in the U.S., Mexico, and throughout Latin America can expect unforgettable performances from one of the world's finest and most thoughtful entertainers.
Pepe Aguilar performs in concert, September 7 at 8pm at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. Tickets ($25, $45, $65, $85) are available at the box office, located at 50 Mark West Springs Road in Santa Rosa, by phone at 707-546-3600, and online at https://www.wellsfargocenterarts.org.
