**Julieta Venegas Captivates Her Hometown with a Symphony Performance**
Tijuana’s own Julieta Venegas delivered a breathtaking symphonic performance in collaboration with the Baja California Orchestra under the guidance of conductor Armando Pesqueira. The event, held on the night of November 8th, marked the final highlight of the 23rd October Festival’s “Territories of Equality” series.
Dressed in a striking red suit adorned with floral lapels, Venegas stood out against the orchestra’s traditional black and white attire. Her presence on stage was met with excitement and gratitude, as she expressed her honor to perform with the orchestra while thanking the audience for sharing in the happiness.
The singer, who will soon be recognized at the Latin Grammys with the Leading Ladies of Entertainment award, began her set with tracks like “Ilusión” and “Andar Conmigo.” As the night progressed, she introduced “Bailar Sola,” during which she delivered a poignant message advocating for a future where women can walk freely without fear.
Throughout the night, Venegas imbued her performances with themes of freedom, love, and resilience, sharing her emotions openly with the audience and reflecting on the inspiration behind her song “La Nostalgia,” which speaks to her fear of never returning to her hometown.
Although there were minor technical issues, attendees lamented the inadequate volume levels, yet the unique blend of Venegas and the orchestra managed to fill Tijuana’s Avenida Revolución, offering a free and unforgettable musical experience. The night concluded with popular hits like “Limón y Sal” and “Me Voy,” with a spirited encore that included “A Dónde Va El Viento” and “El Presente.”
