Enrique Iglesias Live in Mumbai, India
In 1997 I went to Buenos Aires, Argentina as part of a Rotary International Youth Exchange Program. At that point of time Enrique Iglesias was not known in Asia. But he had a huge fan following in the Latin countries. During my 1 year stay in Argentina I had missed his sold out concert.
Since the past 2+ years his song Hero has been my favorite Karaoke number in Mumbai. Due to this my friends started calling me Enrique Iglesias Junior. After 7 years, at his LIVE concert for his 7th album, I finally got to see him LIVE in my home city Mumbai.
It was Sunday, 11th April 2004, and as luck would have it I for the first time, was able to get to the front row of a live concert! During the concert Enrique asked the crowd if anyone spoke Spanish. The crowd went silent and then he looked at me directly. I took this opportunity and screamed out in Spanish "Arriba la raza" and immediately after that he invited me on stage in front of 20,000 people.
It was like a dream. I sat on stage with Enrique Iglesias! We had beer and chatted. Most importantly I had the best seats in the concert for four full songs! I was in shock for 2 days after that as I could not believe that this had actually happened.
Life after the meeting with Enrique has been quite eventful. Here are more details...
