Santiago, Oct 8: Spanish singer-songwriter Jose Luis Perales, who has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, delighted thousands of his Chilean fans who, despite the cold and rain, jammed the venue where he performed.
Even before the artist came onstage Saturday, the women in the audience were screaming for him, a steady roar that multiplied many times when his accompanying musicians first appeared and, after them, the singer of "Por que te vas" showed up, that song being one that more than 40 artists have recorded.
Perales led off with a number from his latest musical production "Calle Soledad". When he performed "Quisiera decir tu nombre" the Caupolican Theater erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Mijito rico", "Idolo", "Te amo", "Te comeria" and "Estoy loca por ti" were among the songs that were well received.
Perales, who has written more than 400 songs, was called back for an encore and had to reassemble his group onstage and perform two more of his favorites.
