Raphael in concert in Barcelona at the Gran Teatre del Liceu
On 29 and 30 September 2024, the landmark Gran Teatre del Liceu venue in Barcelona will be all lit up to welcome one of the greatest legends of Spanish music: Raphael. The singer, whose career spans more than six decades, will be returning to the Catalan capital with his Victoria Tour, a celebration of his most recent album which, as we have come to expect from him, promises to be an unforgettable show. The two concerts in Barcelona will offer a unique opportunity to take a journey through the greatest hits of his career, as well as hearing live the new songs from his latest release, Victoria, composed and produced by the talented Pablo López.
Raphael, known as the “Divo of Linares”, needs no introduction. With 60 years in show business and irrepressible on-stage energy, this musical icon continues to entrance generations with his powerful voice and charismatic presence. Over the course of his career he has sold millions of records and led countless international tours, establishing his position as an unrivalled figure on the global musical landscape.
The Victoria Tour is named for his most recent album, which has proved equally popular with both critics and fans alike. On Victoria, Raphael joined forces with Pablo López, one of the leading figures in contemporary Spanish music, who wrote and produced each of the songs on the record. The album represents a new chapter in Raphael’s career, as he continues to reinvent himself at the age of over 80, proving that there are no limits to his artistry. The record, laden with emotion and passion, will provide the central theme of these concerts, in which the singer will be performing previously unpublished songs which the audience will undoubtedly find moving.
As well as presenting the new songs on Victoria, Raphael will also find time for his greatest hits, the numbers which have made him such a key player in Spanish music. Legendary tracks such as Mi gran noche, Yo soy aquel and Como yo te amo will all feature in the repertoire, guaranteeing an experience full of nostalgia and celebration for the audience. Raphael’s capacity to connect with his listeners is one of his hallmarks, a connection expected to be stronger than ever at these concerts at the Liceu, a dazzling and intimate venue.
