PRIMERA PLANA - FRONT PAGE
Rivera y Primera at Roccapulco
Tour Continues Tonight in SF
Las Vegas-Saturday - LA- Sunday
Rivera y Primera really did turn out to be la combinación perfecta. Transcending the usual Van Van tribute approach, Mayito and Alexander sang together with obvious preparation on an HdP song, El palo más duro, and Mayito's first big hit, La sorpresa (Voy a publicar tu foto). Mayito sang Soy todo alone but the band, with Guillermo del Toro switching to drumset, made some very cool changes to the arrangement. The show went two hours and included several new HdP songs as well as a couple of their trademark hits. If you're in SF, LV, LA or Miami, this historic pairing is not to be missed.
Roccapulco's slick new digital backdrop was a big improvement
Avis Tobías was playing with a new ferocity
