Granada-born artist Dellafuente delivered a unique musical performance, described as a "banquet with Cuban sounds," to close the Bilbao BBK Live festival. Known for his "timeless folk music," Dellafuente fused flamenco, jazz, and Caribbean rhythms in a show meticulously crafted into seven distinct acts. This performance was part of the presentation tour for his latest album, 'Brigado,' which transcends typical urban music genres.

The concert, which began slightly later than scheduled, captivated thousands of eager fans. Dellafuente, also known as El Chino, took the stage amidst a vibrant atmosphere, accompanied by over thirty musicians, singers, and guests. The stage itself was a dynamic setting, featuring a table that constantly shifted throughout the performance, symbolizing the "banquet" theme.

Dellafuente expressed his surprise and gratitude for the large crowd, stating, "When I got on stage, I thought there would be 300 people. Thank you very much, family, for the love." The show progressed through various musical segments, including renditions of songs like 'Romero Santo,' 'Guerrera,' and 'Agradecido,' which set a celebratory tone. The performance also included energetic dance numbers featuring Cuban musicians and a more intimate section with slower, emotional tracks.

The evening concluded with Dellafuente performing 'Mi modo de vida,' a collaboration from his new album featuring his own alias '3NOC,' and 'Muchas caricias-Fin de fiestas.' Prior to Dellafuente's set, British punk band IDLES delivered an energetic and politically charged performance on the same stage, maintaining a high level of intensity throughout their set.

When I got on stage, I thought there would be 300 people. Thank you very much, family, for the love.
