La Oreja de Van Gogh pay tribute to Amaia Montero in Gran Canaria
Amaia Montero’s bandmates in La Oreja de Van Gogh paused their emotional concert in Gran Canaria to pay tribute to the singer, who returned to the group 20 years later. “There is someone to whom the world owes a big round of applause,” said musician Xabi San Martín, who admitted they had been through some very difficult days since the first concert.
The singer said she was not expecting it and that she needed that kiss: “That’s what true love does, it surprises you. They look after me and help me every day because they are incredible bandmates. They are my friends and they are my brothers, but I wasn’t expecting this, so I found they were taking the microphone away from me and I said: what’s going on?”
“I did need that kiss”
“That kiss, yes, I needed it,” Montero stressed amid loud applause at the Gran Canaria stadium, where those attending the concert never stopped chanting her name and the famous “pío, pío”. La Oreja de Van Gogh performed in the Canary Islands again 20 years after their last visit to the archipelago.
The band has played two concerts this weekend: on Friday 23 October at the Anexo del Estadio de Gran Canaria, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and this Saturday 24 at the Campo de Fútbol de Adeje, in Tenerife.
