Luis Miguel

A Concert for Lovers of Latin Music

“It’s a very special tour, a very ambitious tour, and it could be the most important in [Luis Miguel’s] career,” says Luis Miguel’s manager, Alejandro Asensi. Though Asensi may have a biased view, ecstatic reviews of the Mexico en la Piel (Mexico Under My Skin) tour have been rampant since it started September 13 in California. Miguel, known for his strong live performances, is planning approximately 70 performances on this tour. He will go through the United States (with a stop off in Austin!), Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and hold his last show in Mexico.

The Puerto Rican singer has been performing since he was 12 when he won his first Grammy Award for his duet with Sheena Easton “Me Gustas Tal Como Eres” (I Like You Just as You Are). Since then he has toured consistently through the United States and Mexico, becoming the first Latin artist to receive gold records in the U.S. for a Spanish-speaking record. In between tours he has also managed to work with some of the biggest names in music history, including: Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan.

When he released Amarte es un Placer (Loving You is a Pleasure) in 1999 he reflected on what he wanted his future albums to sound like, and what he wanted them to say. “I can’t go on changing my style from one record to the other according to the latest fad. I don’t go by what is in fashion, nor by what sells or is considered marketable. I go by what’s in my heart, what goes with my style and how I sing. That’s how I am. I can’t say that it’s my secret, because it’s not a secret. It’s just the way I choose my music.”

He has certainly accomplished his goals on Mexico en la Piel. This album has been promoted as a pop album and a tribute to the rich tradition of mariachi and ranchera heritage in Mexico. Though he has long included mariachis in his performances, Asensi says that Mexico is Miguel’s first mariachi-only record. The tour includes a full introduction to Mexico as well as a much anticipated recap of Miguel’s hits.
