After the debut of the soap opera Rebelde, the band became a success with six teenage characters Mia Colucci, Roberta Pardo Rey, Lupita Fernadez, Miguel Arango, Diego Bustamante e Giovanni Mendes. The group kept going for five years on and off screen, accumulating fantastic albums and a legion of fans around the world, who after fifteen years of wait finally saw the band in action again.
The Soy Rebelde World Tour will take the interpreters of Rebelde‘s characters Anahí, Dulce María, Maite Perroni, Christian Chávez and Christopher von Uckermann to perform shows in the United States, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil. Alfonso Herrera has informed that he doesn’t consider himself a singer, and therefore he will not be joining his former bandmates.
In Brazil, we are waiting for the shows on November 10th and 11th in Rio de Janeiro, and November 12th, 13th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th in São Paulo. How can we control our excitement after waiting so long for this? Listening to those songs that warm the heart and give us that good nostalgia is a great way to do it.
