The Soy Tour is the second tour by Argentine singer Lali in support of her second studio album, Soy (2016). The tour, which was officially announced on May 27, 2016, will travel across Latin America. It began on September 8, 2016 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[1]

Background

Espósito confirmed plans of a tour in support of the album via previous live chats and TV interviews. On May 27, 2016, Espósito confirmed the first dates of the tour. By the moment, Soy Tour will travel across Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay and Ecuador, but the singer has admitted that the tour will also include dates in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East, between others. The tour is the follow-up of Espósito's previous A Bailar Tour.

Before the tour beginning, the singer embarked on a promotional tour across Argentina, México, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Spain, Italy, Paraguay and Uruguay. Espósito performed live several times across 2016, including performances at the 2016 Radio Disney Vivo music festival in Buenos Aires,[2] the 2016 Coca-Cola.FM festival in Mexico City along with Mexican boy-band CD9,[3] the 2016 Coca-Cola Music Experience On The Beach at El Campello, Spain in front of 30,000 people,[4] and as the opening act of Fifth Harmony's The 7/27 Tour in Santiago.[5]

In November 2016, Espósito performed as the opening act for Ricky Martin's One World Tour at Monterrey Arena in Monterrey, Auditorio Telmex in Guadalajara and Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City.[6] Days after, the singer travelled to Italy, where she gave away two showcases or "fan events" at RDS Auditorium in Rome and 55 Milano in Milan.[7] The singer is among the artists announced to perform at the 2017 Viña del Mar Festival in Viña del Mar, Chile. Espósito's performance is set to take place on February 25, 2017 at Quinta Vergara Amphitheater.[8]

Production

The big screen is described as the protagonist of the show from the very beginning. There, different types of images are projected and it carries the audience to a virtual tour for absolutely all the songs. In the videos, close-ups of Espósito predominate, especially to her mouth and eyes, but also her getting ready for the show, graffitis, song lyrics and even her excited fans to tears and jumping for joy during old shows of the teen-idol.

The show's production also includes different light sets to create different atmospheres in each act, every color laserlights, projections over the audience, special effects, confetti, a floating lumimous sphere and a DJ booth, and ten different costumes.[9]

Concert synopsis

The show begins with a video introduction of the singer. Immediately, the screens splits with Espósito landing on stage in a luminous sphere while performing the first chords of the opening number, "Soy". She then continues with the popular tracks, "Irresistible" and "Asesina". It’s here that she not only sings but she also plays the guitar and shows her rockier side. After a music interlude, and accompanied by her entourage, 8 musicians and 10 dancers, the show continues with "Boomerang" and "Tu Revolución" and leaves the stage. Espósito comes back to the stage to perform a medley of ballads from her previous record A Bailar which includes "Del Otro Lado", "Cielo Salvador" and "Desamor". The ballad act continues as the singer performs "Cree en Mí", creating an intimate atmosphere dominated by red and yellow lights, in which Espósito deploys all her glamor wearing a long dress, with transparencies and brightnesses.

The next songs to be performed are "Bomba", in which twerking predominates as dance style, and "Mi Religión", while Espósito descends from the ceiling by commanding a DJ console surrounded by lights, smoke and special effects, which is described as "a 100% energetic moment that brought everyone to their feet for a party-like atmosphere".[10] To accompany the song "Lejos de Mí", Espósito brought together in a video to several of her friends, included the actresses Leticia Siciliani, María del Cerro, Marina Bellati and Justina Bustos. The heat slows down as Espósito performs "Reina", "Ego" and "Amor Es Presente", in the last one accompanied by a gospel choir.

Towards de end of the show, Espósito once again comes back to the stage wearing a pink leather crop top, skirt and boots to perform "Unico", "A Bailar" and "Mil Años Luz". The last act includes the songs "No Estoy Sola", "Histeria" and "Ring Na Na". Espósito ends the show thanking the public while confetti falls from the ceiling.[9][11]
