Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany García announced this Monday her tour for this year, ‘Open Door’, which will kick off next April in Mexico, the place where “it all began” as an artist and where she wants to launch a message of “love and diversity” in the face of a current time marked by “violence and hatred”.
“What I want is that people have an incredible time and (…) disconnect for a while because we are living in very violent times and then where that violence also falls into speeches of divisions and a lot of hatred. I like to create a kind of bubble where everything is diversity, love, vulnerability, happiness and joy,” said the singer at a press conference in Mexico City to promote her tour.
Known artistically as Kany García, Encarnita García de Jesús said she was “excited” to return to Mexico, the place where she began her career and where she experienced “incredible nights”, such as her last performance at the Auditorio Nacional in the Mexican capital.
He also recalled that he started there “from scratch” without even having “one song”, which is why he feels a different “complicity” with the Mexican public, whose intensity and loyalty he praised.
“It is the most planned tour of my career and I wanted to start it in the place where my career began, and that was here. So when we were thinking about it, where to start and where to end, I thought it was important to start in that first country, which was my second home: Mexico City,” he stressed.
In his upcoming performances he predicted a show in which he hopes to be the “reflection of what people live and suffer” through a language accessible to all audiences.
The 43-year-old singer, who has been in the industry for more than 15 years, said that her tour begins in Latin American countries, with which she has “very different stories” with each of them.
“For example, Colombia has been a country with which I have always had a special bond for countless reasons, because it was a home at a given moment when I needed a refuge. But the same thing happens to me in (…) the case of Argentina, where we grew up in a tiny theater that could hold 500 people,” he said.
Regarding the presence of other singers in her upcoming performances, Kany García said without revealing details that several of her colleagues “will accompany her on stage”, while highlighting some collaborations she made with artists such as the Colombian Maluma, who “is living wonderful moments in his personal life as a father and wants to explore other genres”.
Kany García will give eight concerts in Mexico in different states in April and May, with her first stop in the country’s capital on May 17. She will then continue her tour in Peru, Chile, Costa Rica and Colombia, reported Agencia EFE.
