  • Argentine singer María Becerra performed in Madrid, presenting her new album 'Quimera' and surprising the audience with guest artists.
  • The concert featured emotional performances, including a fan duet and dedications to her supporters.
  • Becerra dedicated her initial words to those affected by the wildfires in Madrid and to the firefighters battling the blazes.

Argentine artist María Becerra captivated the audience at Madrid's Noches del Botánico on Friday, unveiling her latest album 'Quimera' and introducing her four distinct alter egos: Jojo, Shanina, Maite, and Gladys. The concert was a vibrant display of emotion and surprise, enhanced by special guest appearances.

Known as 'la nena,' Becerra delivered a dynamic performance that blended singing and dancing, sharing her deepest feelings with an engaged audience. She connected with fans by inviting one lucky attendee to sing with her, dedicating the song “Perdóname” to her early supporters, and even descending into the crowd to perform her new song, 'Tatú.' The audience, dressed in Argentine colors and jerseys, sang along enthusiastically throughout the show.

A significant highlight was the premiere of an unreleased song, 'Así,' performed with Spanish artist Abraham Mateo, whom Becerra expressed great admiration for. The night also featured collaborations with Chilean artist Karteyes on 'Lonely' and her partner, Argentine rapper J Rei, for 'Mi amor,' adding to the evening's surprises.

Amidst uncontrolled wildfires affecting the Community of Madrid, which led to evacuations and confinement orders for up to 50,000 people, Becerra began the concert by extending her sympathy to those impacted and applauding the efforts of the firefighters. "We want to send all our love to the affected people, and send applause to all the firefighters," she stated.

Becerra's Spanish tour continues until August 2, showcasing 'Quimera,' an album exploring themes of sensuality, romance, obsession, and pain through personal narratives. Each alter ego represents a different facet of her personality, complementing her own persona and classic hits. Earlier in the week, Becerra had traveled to New York to sing the Argentine anthem at the World Cup final, where Spain secured its second title against Argentina.

We want to send all our love to the affected people, and send applause to all the firefighters.
