“So this was a sold out”. Lola Indigo filled – and made us sweat – this Saturday the WiZink Center in Madrid with the first stop of her tour The Dragon Tour. And she did it by taking a step further in her increasingly consolidated career since 2018, and after being the first to be expelled from the phenomenon. OT 2017will bet on carrying out his own project with dance as the leading element and will point out ways with what was his first single, I don’t want anything anymore. Since then, he already has three albums on the market (Akelarre, The Girl and The Dragon) and he is preparing to tour Spain with a show that functions in itself as a very lively party, with a powerful staging and a lot of sensuality.
“You have me wrong, you make me animal. And I can no longer with curiosity, that I have to turn off the light ”, Lola Indigo began intoning after hatching the giant white egg that presided over the stage at the beginning. And next to her, her band and the ten dancers with whom she puts together her proposal. The topic, Animalincluded the first dance break which anticipated what would happen in all the subsequent ones: the public gave themselves up with euphoria to the powerful choreographies.
followed with to forget about youin which he showed that lighting and live performance were going to have their own moments of glory –although far from reaching the empire of the touring camera like those of Motomami of Rosalia and The Madrileño by C. Tangana–. The dance troupe lifted Lola Indigo up, lying on her back and looking towards an operator who was at the back of the stage. The giant screen located behind showed the scene allowing the audience to see, delivered, jumping into the background. The culmination of the rush trilogy with which the show opened was Discoteka, her song with María Becerra, which she sang alone this time: “The dangerous ones have arrived, you know who they are”.

Lola Indigo caught her breath greeting her fans, recalling that the previous time she had “filled” the Madrid venue was on her previous tour, The girl. “It was a little less sold out because there was COVID, limited capacity, people were seated and wearing a mask; although we were the happiest people in the world. The team knows what this is worth and we want to thank you for being here tonight”, she shared, “I never expected that I would achieve this, but because I couldn’t. Thanks to my team, the quality of the dancers, the producers with whom I have worked, the artists with whom I have collaborated and above all, you”.
The woman from Madrid then used the microphone stand to sing Turismo before Belén Aguilera went into action to interpret The band Aid. Several boxes of lights then appeared in the background on the platform above the stage, generating two heights between which Lola Indigo and her dance troupe moved during the hour and a half that the show lasted. After Toy Story y The school girl flames of fire erupted, in a preview of what the temperature was going to rise in the WiZink Center. The chosen song: 4 kisses in which, as expected, there was no shortage of kisses. Between them and them, between them and them, and between them and them.
To fly with the ‘Dragon’
It was sensed that Dragon would provide the most emotional moment of the night. The ballad that the artist wrote her lyrics on a plane on the way to Buenos Aires met expectations. “I was probably in my hardest moment since I started this, I felt alone, wanting to leave everything and above all very sad,” she acknowledged on her social networks when presenting the topic. When she arrived, she recorded the song but left it locked in a drawer for a long time. “I was so embarrassed to expose all the trauma like that and I didn’t know what to do with the song,” she added. Everything changed when the day she showed it to her friend Belén Aguilera, who was the one who convinced her to give it a chance.
To interpret her, Lola Indigo appeared with the second of the three looks that she wore during the evening, now hooded. “I no longer recognize myself when I face myself in the mirror. I won’t forgive myself the wounds I got, ”she sang, showing little by little more emotion and holding back tears. Upon reaching the second half of the theme, the dance troupe entered to accompany her for a few moments before, hanging from the ceiling of the venue, she rose little by little next to a structure in the shape of dragon wings, generating a very powerful. “Mom, I’m afraid of being left behind. Stay down there with my anxiety. I scream, my voice doesn’t come out and you don’t come. She grabbed my foot as I took off. She grabbed me by the hair and told me already, ”she continued, intoning.

Still from the top of the stage, he revved up again with Broken Hearts, Witch Woman y Santeria. The dancers were then able to lead a kind of catwalk in which each one danced to the rhythm of electronic versions of various songs by Lola Indigo. Dressed in green, they gave way to Ultraviolet, which was one of the most successful numbers.
At the end, the singer recognized that the design of what would end up being the scenery of the tour since she began working on the album. “Everything was created at once”, she explained, recalling that in their years of experience they had played on very small stages, and here they wanted to think big. Someone told them when they saw it that they “didn’t need” so many elements. Before which the Madrilenian assured: “We don’t need it but I think we deserve it.” Both her team and the public. And she dedicated, going down to the track, High to his followers.
Colophon with Quevedo
“All good things have to have a great ending,” said the singer, who left a battery of well-moved songs for the last stretch of the show, starting with Slow motion y Single ladies. Of the hits that are framed and show the style between reggaeton and trap that characterize Lola Indigo; with lyrics that have always invited women to celebrate their bodies, freely experience their sexuality and sensuality and, above all, have fun.
“I have a friend who plays the saint. That she arrives on Fridays and no one can stand her. That she lets her hair down, huh. She tells you ‘what what she’ ”, was the next thing she made the WiZink Center dance, which she succeeded Trends. As already happened in the same venue on Friday night, which was also packed with Quevedo, the canary and Lola Indigo interpreted The foolin whose video clip the egg from which the singer emerged at the beginning of the concert already appeared.
By the time she started singing “the fool you left me, but I’m not sad. I go out late at night and you just want to know”, track and stands waited expectantly for the interpreter of English beach in the second verse. So it was. The singer thanked her for her presence in her show, and she took the opportunity to applaud her “humility and generosity” of her, in addition to praising her talent.
Going back to her origins, Lola Indigo closed the night with what was her first song, I don’t want anything anymore. The single with which she surprised after leaving the Academy. While colleagues like Aitana and Amaia Romero still had a couple of months left in the program, she took the opportunity to surround herself with her dancers, ‘Las Lolas’, and impose dance as a key element of her songs, video clips and concerts.
Aware of this, and showing off his constant demand for dance; He asked all attendees to lower their cell phones to applaud his team (band and dance troupe) and dedicate the show to her grandmother. “This has been a dream”, she affirmed emphatically before the lights of the pavilion came on, generating an effect similar to when nightclubs do after an intense evening of partying: with the satisfaction of having given everything dancing to each song and, surely , wanting more.
