La Trevi will give ‘El Grito’ in Las Vegas before arriving in Los Angeles

Tonight, Gloria Trevi will be performing at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, and will take advantage of the occasion to give ‘el Grito’ with which the Mexican Independence Day is commemorated annually. Immediately after, she will arrive on our shores, because, this Saturday, it is her turn to take the stage of the YouTube Theater in Inglewood.

The presentations are part of an ambitious tour (called “Isla Divina”, just like her most recent album) that began on January 20 in her country of origin and that has already allowed her to break at least one record as the artist with more dates in the National Auditorium of Mexico City throughout history, after achieving six ‘sold outs’ in just three months and thus completing a total of 33 full houses throughout his career within the same enclosure.

The truth is that the interpreter and creator of “Con los ojos cerrados” is still a tremendously successful artist, in wide contrast to the situation she was going through two decades ago, when she was still in a Chihuahua prison due to her alleged participation in the criminal acts committed by his manager Sergio Andrade. In 2004, she was cleared of all charges and returned to both the stage and the studio, where she has recorded eight plates, in addition to the five she had prior to her arrest.

“From the moment I got out of all that horrible scandal, of so many terrible years, which was on September 21, I started doing big concerts; but there were so many comments and so many criticisms that there was a very strong pothole,” Trevi told the Los Angeles Times en Español during a recent telephone interview. “I had to work, because I was full of debt and I was a single mother with a child.”

“I started performing at gay ‘clubs’, which was where they hired me, and the community [LGBTQ] She raised me from the ashes, for which I will always be grateful to her.” “Then came the success of the next album, ‘Una Rosa Blu’, with songs that worked incredibly well in Spain, Latin America and the United States. From there, everything was to continue, until I got to my new album, where I include ‘Grande’, a duet with Mónica Naranjo that became one of the most listened to songs on Spotify during the pandemic as far as performers are concerned. feminine”.

Being able to do what she’s doing now is particularly satisfying for a singer who had to call off her previous tour, “Diosa de la Noche” — named after her 2019 album — when it was at its height. “It was a moment when I felt very strong and I wanted to convey it, as something hopeful for people, to tell them that it didn’t matter how much they had stepped on you, because you can get up, forget the pain and focus on the positive things,” he resumed. “I was flying high, sweeping, ready to reach Central and South America after passing through Mexico and the United States, and suddenly, the pandemic arrived and my wings were clipped.”

After the quarantine was decreed, Trevi decided to give exercise classes on the networks and do everything possible to withstand the passage of the storm, but along the way, he lost close people and acquaintances due to the ravages of the virus. “The pandemic definitely changed the destiny of many people and took many lives,” he told us. “There were even loved ones who took their own lives due to despair. I was definitely depressed. But I have always said that if I fall seven times, I get up eight”.

As expected, the Las Vegas and Los Angeles concerts will include several songs from the “Isla Divina” album, such as “Él se equequóró”, “Sube” and “Grande”; and the singer assures that, for these dates, she will add another new piece. “I’m going to sing ‘La recaída’, which was playing a lot, and I’m going to have the flamenco ‘bailaor’ Timo Núñez, who has two meters of beauty”, she advanced.

Trevi is also excited because this is the first production of her authorship that has been inserted in the popularity charts in Brazil, while in the United States, it has broken the record for the Hispanic album sung by a woman to be placed in the first place. of sales. “I see a whole new generation appearing on TikTok using these songs, and that makes me feel very happy and very grateful to my audience and my colleagues,” she said.

Beyond the good moment she is going through in artistic terms, due to her controversial past and the very fact of being a famous woman, our interviewee has not been free from sometimes aggressive questioning, as happened in recent days, when, after the publication From a video interview he offered, several network users insisted that his face looked “different” and that this was due to cosmetic surgery, even finding an echo in the entertainment journalist Ana María Alvarado, who works on the popular program TV morning show “Sale el Sol”.

“What can I tell you? I don’t like it… ”, Trevi replied emphatically when we asked for her opinion on the matter. “They have been criticizing me since I was 20 years old; what if because of my hair standing up, what if because of my torn socks, what if because of my attitude on stage… So imagine if right now, at 54 years old, when I am rich, strong and powerful, a pending comment… is going to move me floor”.

“Net? They take a photo with a filter, very rare, because, to begin with, I was wearing a purple jacket, and there it looks grayish, ”she continued. “They want to blame the makeup artist or they say I had surgery. I would like to have surgery, dude! But I haven’t even had time to breathe. I, for myself, put a knife into myself, happy with life. What people say is worth three hectares of sausage to me”.
