Juanes!!!!!!

I just paid a ton of money to be in the standing room only at the foot of the stage at a concert! And I didn't understand a word!! But I enjoyed the heck out of it!!!



I went with some friends to a Juanes concert. He is a HUGE star here in Colombia. He's actually from Medallin, Colombia.






Juanes gave quite a show ~ no fancy back up dancers, just him and his band. Awesome!





And not only is he a very popular Latin rock star, he is also a very patriotic Colombian. In the middle of his concert he brought out a little boy who was wearing a shirt that has a photo on it. Turns out it was a picture of his dad ~ a man he never met because he was kidnapped by guerrilas when the boy's mother was pregnant with him. Juanes gave a moving speech to his fans about how Colombia needed to not tolerate that any more. That the guerrilla warfare had to stop. The whole crowd broke out in a chant of "Liberty". It was a very moving experience.




Juanes also gave the best encore I have ever witnessed. He must have sung about 7 songs!!! It was an amazing concert!!!! Check him out!!!!
