British star Dua Lipa surprised fans at her second concert in Mexico City on Tuesday night (Dec. 2) by inviting Maná‘s Fher Olvera to perform a duet of the Mexican band’s classic 1992 hit “Oye Mi Amor.” The GNP Seguros Stadium turned into a massive karaoke session celebrating one of the most iconic rock en español bands in the world.
“Tonight we are very lucky because we have someone very special who is going to sing with us,” the London diva expressed in Spanish before introducing Olvera, who stepped onto the stage amid a storm of applause. The crowd’s ovation grew louder when the unmistakable guitar chords of the song – one of Maná’s most popular tracks – began to play.
The moment was celebrated by the 65,000 attendees (according to Ocesa’s figures) gathered in the iconic capital stadium and went viral on social media soon after. Check out this fan-shared video of the special moment.
The “Oye Mi Amor” cover came after Dua performed Consuelito Velázquez’s classic “Bésame Mucho” on Monday during the first of three concerts that make up the Mexican leg of her Radical Optimism Tour, which is set to conclude on Friday (Dec. 5) at the same stadium.
The list of covers Lipa has performed by acts from Latin America and Spain since May includes: “Héroe” by Enrique Iglesias in Spain; “De Música Ligera” by Soda Stereo in Argentina; and “Tu Falta de Querer” by Mon Laferte and “El Duelo” by La Ley in Chile. In Brazil, she thrilled fans with “Magalenha” by Sergio Mendes, singing alongside Brazilian artist Carlinhos Brown. In Peru, she danced to “Cariñito” in a duet with Mauricio Mesones, while in Colombia she charmed with “Antología” by Shakira.
The conclusion of her world tour in Mexico strengthens the love affair between the artist and the Latin American country. Dua previously performed in 2017 at the Corona Capital festival and in September 2022 at the Foro Sol (now the GNP Seguros Stadium).
