García hopes the song encourages greater attention to the needs and well-being of children, emphasizing the importance of providing them with the emotional support they deserve.

The first time I dreamed of having a career was here, the first things happened here, this is, to date, the most important tour of my career and it had to start in that refuge for a long time.

The audience, comprising 14,000 fans, responded with an outpouring of support, recognizing Mexico's role as a significant driving force in her artistic journey.

There are things in life for which one must have memory at the tip of the skin, I never forget the people, not only those who have given me a hand, a home, the people who have truly become necessary bridges and refuges in my life and that is precisely what happened in Mexico.

— Kany GarcíaExpressing gratitude for the support she received in Mexico.

This statement resonated deeply with the audience, highlighting her commitment to social justice. The concert also featured special guests, including the band Matisse, with whom she performed "Para siempre," further enriching the night's musical tapestry.
