Concert Announcement

Spanish singer Álex Ubago will perform in Puerto Rico on Feb. 13 at the Centro de Bellas Artes de Santurce in San Juan. HolaNews reported that the artist announced the date this week as part of his '¿Qué pides tú? 25 aniversario' tour to mark 25 years in music. The show is scheduled for the eve of Valentine's Day.

Ubago will offer a tour of the major hits that have marked his career. He will also perform tracks from his most recent album 'Galerna', which consists of ten songs. El Universo noted he last performed before the Puerto Rican public two years ago.

Career Highlights

The composer of songs such as 'Me muero por conocerte' and 'A gritos de esperanza' will include numbers including 'Sin miedo a nada', 'Aunque no te pueda ver', 'A gritos de esperanza', '¿Qué pides tú?' and 'Estar contigo'. Yahoo en Español reported that Ubago received a Grammy in 2011 for Best Pop Vocal Duo or Group Album in collaboration with Jorge and Lena for the disc 'Alex, Jorge y Lena'.

The announcement was made on Friday, according to the reports. Noticias Venevisión stated that Ubago will present the concert on Feb. 13 with his anniversary tour.

Where the sources differ

All four sources agree that Álex Ubago will perform on Feb. 13 at the Centro de Bellas Artes de Santurce in San Juan as part of his '¿Qué pides tú? 25 aniversario' tour, that he will play career hits and material from the album 'Galerna', and that tickets are available via Ticketera and the venue box office. Sources 2, 3 and 4 (HolaNews, Yahoo en Español and El Universo), which appear to share the same EFE dispatch, add details on specific songs, the 2011 Grammy, and that the artist performed in Puerto Rico two years earlier; source 1 (Noticias Venevisión) is shorter and does not mention the prior concert, the Grammy or the full song list. Sources 2-4 were published Oct. 9 while source 1 appeared on Oct. 10; none conflict on core facts.

What the reports do not say

The reports do not specify ticket prices, the exact start time of the concert, whether it is a solo performance or includes guest artists, or any additional dates in Puerto Rico or the Caribbean. They also provide no information on how long the show is expected to last or details about the staging.
