“Besides, it’s my job, my children’s bread,” he says with a laugh. Then he corrects: “Well, I’m not from my children anymore, from my grandchildren.” And he laughs out loud. The year pandemic There were ups and downs for the singer. The March 7 concert was scheduled for a year to celebrate his 50th career.
“I was going to do it in May to coincide with Mother’s Day, but at that time I was still afraid, I didn’t want to go out.
Gradually, D’Alessio’s faith grew, and fear gave way to trust because of Psalm 91.
“My decision to leave after a year has to do with reading these verses:” He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. ” I go under the shadow of the Almighty and no plague will come upon me.
While he was inside quarantine, Lupita never lost sight of the importance of music in her life: “It is essential in the human being, music cannot die. It would be necessary to turn a little to producers and managers, so that they move more to do these concerts online. We haven’t been to concerts for too long. “
When he says that it is his grandchildren’s food, it is obviously a joke, but he realizes the moment in which he lives and some coincidences: on the same March 7, his son Ernesto turns 43 and a few days later, he is also his birthday: “I will turn 67, but as I always say: the old are the children, not us.”

That’s why, for the concert, which will be broadcast live from the Arena Ciudad de México, what was never allowed: sharing the stage.
“We will have a special guest, she will sing with me ‘My heart is gypsy’ and she will be very nostalgic for many people who have known Lupita, 17 years old.” The desire to reveal the name conquers him: “I will do it with my niece Sara María D’Alessio. It’s a concert 50 years of career and that’s why it starts with a poem I wrote in 1986 ”.
“That poem reflects what I think about spirituality, about what happens when you are poor in spirit, selfish.
“We had the opportunity to introduce several songs, some that I had not played for a long time. For example, “It’s a danger,” which I really like. There are 22 songs for almost two hours of concert in which I talk a little about what we live now “.
Because, although he already has enough faith to go out and support this concert, D’Alessio is clear that the pandemic is not over: “I don’t want to sing victory; We still hope that vaccine I’ve arrived”.

I am a mother who wants justice, but I also know that justice is a person, Jesus Christ ”.
