Cancellations, Summer and Highlights

We have to talk about Shakira's three canceled shows in the United States. In recent weeks, it's been reported that this is one of the most important tours of the year and the decade, a fact that can't be denied.

These are in addition to those that occurred in Peru in February due to health issues and infrastructure in Chile, which have already been restored.

One would think that the United States has the infrastructure to put on a large-scale show, but the reality is that the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has been a highly harried tour due to this. Failures in the placement of screens and the stage have been the most common, as in Boston and Washington.

His concert in Los Angeles tomorrow was also rescheduled due to protests against the raids in that California city. It will run until August 4, just days before his return to Mexico.

Although we know it's not the artist's fault alone, fans of the Colombian singer have expressed their discontent on social media and directly blamed her team for the shortcomings. This includes her managers and her community manager.

Fans agree that a global artist like her, with over 30 years of experience, shouldn't have to go through these cancellations. Talents like Madonna, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift haven't suffered through situations of this magnitude.

Let's hope the concerts take place properly for the following dates. Remember that the second leg of the tour in Latin America and the dates in Europe and Asia, which you've teased in interviews, are still pending.

Summer has arrived, and Karol G has said, "My Latin people," as she releases Tropicoqueta , an album featuring Latin American music. Surprising collaborations and more are what the Medellín native presents on her fifth studio album.

It's June, and that means I've selected some of the best albums released in the first half of 2025.

I can highlight Rusowsky's, DAISY, whose sound and concept turn out to be the most interesting of this year since the stridency, the romantic lyrics and even the appearance of Las Ketchup give it the touch.

We also have Camila Guevara, who was a surprise to me because the combination of sounds like bolero, reggaeton, and even pop that she has captured in Dame Flores shows a freshness in artists of her generation.

Last but not least, MusicMex kicked off yesterday, a space at the Los Pinos Cultural Complex where music industry experts and artists gather to discuss the latest developments in the music scene. It will be open until tomorrow.
