The city of Córdoba vibrated last Saturday with the performance of Dani Martín as part of the Córdoba Live Festival. Despite the high temperatures, the El Arenal venue saw a large turnout to enjoy a show commemorating the 25-year career of the Madrid-born artist.
The concert, which started with a slight delay, was marked by Martín's energy and a repertoire that blended current hits with songs that have shaped his followers' lives. Tracks like Besos, Peter Pan, and Tal como eres echoed through El Arenal, as the artist encouraged active audience participation, requesting 90% of hands be in the air.
“"We were left with the Mosque-Cathedral, the Jewish Quarter, even the oranges on the ground."
Dani Martín, who recalled a family trip to Córdoba in his youth, had a special surprise for the local audience. Cordoban actor Fernando Tejero appeared on stage to perform the song Puede ser as a duet. Visibly moved, Tejero, who recently lost his father, described the moment as a dream come true.
Another highlight was the appearance of José María, nicknamed 'el Jeta de Córdoba' by Martín himself, to sing Una Foto en Blanco y Negro. The concert also had a moment of alarm when Dani Martín, in a burst of enthusiasm, jumped onto screens and fell to the ground. The singer humorously admitted it was something that could happen, adding a touch of levity to the evening.
After nearly two and a half hours of performance, the concert concluded past midnight, leaving an indelible mark on attendees. Dani Martín reaffirmed his connection with the audience and his desire to continue creating music and memories, in a context where his 'little apartment' with Tejero contrasted with Bad Bunny's popular 'little house'.
