The singer-songwriter and poet Joaquin Sabina (Jaén, Spain, 1949) has decided to put an end to an era of live performances with “Hello and goodbye”, his most recent tour in which the reason, in addition to remembering his compositions, will be to celebrate his last tour. “A tour where we can say HELLO AND GOODBYE“, as the statement says.
The farewell will take place some time after the author of El grito en el suelo (2012) concluded a tour of almost 60 countries spread across both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, attended, according to records, by more than seven hundred thousand people. For this reason, “In the heat of this honey and out of the simple courtesy of not leaving the party, Joaquín Sabina has decided to go back on stage to say hello for the last time before lowering the curtain.“, says the official announcement.
