-Latin Rock’s leading global ambassador and the most-awarded solo artist in Latin Grammy history, Juanes, is about to begin his 2018 North American “Amarte Tour” with Latin Alternative’s leading-lady Mon Laferte. Presented by Nissan, produced by Live Nation and also including special guest Caloncho, the tour will kick off April 20 in Orlando and continue across North America for an additional 17 dates.
Juanes’ live show is a “don’t miss” event, with rave reviews:
“[His show] confirms Juanes as the rare artist — in company with the likes of Bono, and Bruce Springsteen —
with the power to inspire beyond the arena walls.” – Los Angeles Times
“Without exaggerating, I can say that Juanes and his bandmates have never sounded tighter…
he has strived for (and undoubtedly reached) a new level of musicianship…
Whatever you do, don’t miss the chance to check Juanes out when he comes your way” – ABC News
“The Grammy Winning Colombian [Rocker]… Is A Headliner To Seek-Out”- Entertainment Weekly
Likewise, Mon Laferte has quickly become one of Latin music’s most captivating young performers:
“A Can’t Miss, Cool Discovery-Crossing Genres and Eras: Retro and modern, torch singing and alternative rock all get time-warped together in the music of Mon Laferte… [She] sings about fiery romance, with all its ecstasies and disasters… the settings have reached back to folklore and 1950s rock as often as they have harnessed synthesizers and guitars. Her voice can be a girlish tease or a grunge scream, with its volatility matched by Ms. Laferte’s flamboyantly theatrical stage presence.” – New York Times Spring Music Preview
“She is probably the most acclaimed artist now in the Latin American alternative scene. But the truth is that Mon Laferte is much more than a figure that can be placed in a specific niche… With her incredible voice… [she] explores different rhythms and styles to bring diversity to truly personal and deeply emotional songs”- Hoy
The tour follows recent Latin Grammy wins for both artists. Juanes’ critically-praised and chart-topping Mis Planes Son Amarte (Latin Music’s first major visual album) received two new awards this year, increasing the Colombian superstar’s career tally to a staggering twenty-five combined GRAMMY & Latin Grammy Awards. With a rare five-star Rolling Stone review and pick as “One of the best albums of 2017,” Mis Planes Son Amarte also just earned a 2018 GRAMMY nomination for “Best Latin Pop Album.” Hailed by TIME as “one of the 100 Most-Influential People in the World,” and The New York Times as “Latin America’s soulful poet,” Juanes has built a distinctive sound that fuses his love of rock & pop, with multi-layered songwriting, and a deep reverence for the traditional folk and other indigenous rhythms of the continent. With eight multi-platinum albums to his credit, Juanes has notched eleven #1 Billboard singles and holds multiple chart records. He is also one of Latin music’s leading social media voices and a dedicated global activist, with wide-ranging charitable efforts.
Mexico City-based, Chilean singer-songwriter Mon Laferte is “One of the rising stars of the Latin music world.” Following the release of her new album “La Trenza,” MTV named Mon Laferte as this year’s Best Artist In Mexico, while NPR, All Music, The New York Times and more have also applauded the album. Most recently, “La Trenza,” received an impressive five Latin Grammy nominations, with Mon Laferte taking home the award for “Best Alternative Song”- recognizing “Amárrame,” her hit duet with new tour partner Juanes.
