Christian Nodal took his music to Spain after a successful tour in Latin America and the United States. The 24-year-old singer and soon-to-be dad delighted the crowd with his “mariacheño” (mariachi and norteño) style.
On Saturday, May 20, Nodal performed for the first time at the Wizink Center in Madrid during his Foraji2 Tour. The sold-out event welcomed over 15,000 people. “Being on stage and sharing my music with fans is where I feel the most. I can’t wait to be with my people to show them this new show that will have many surprises and, of course, a lot of music that puts Mexican culture where it deserves to be,“ said Christian ahead of the tour.
