When the Tyler date was added to La Mafia's schedule, I just had to make the short trip (100 miles in Texas is a short trip LOL). Even though I knew I was going to see them a week later in Houston, I couldn't miss their first show of 2001. I didn't know what to expect , since Tyler is a small town, and I was very surprised to see that the place was so humongous that even with several hundred people there it still looked empty. I didn't think it would be possible to fill it, but by the time LA MAFIA came on I looked back and the place was packed. They opened the show with "Sabor A La Fiesta" (from the new CD),which was a great song to get the crowd going and went right into "Nuesta Cancion" (one of my favorites).. They played a great mix of their hits including some oldies like "Yo Quiero Ser" and "Alas De Papel" and mixed in some of the songs from the new CD which went over big with the crowd, especially the "Rock Cumbia" , "Morir Sonañdo" when Marion went into the guitar solo. I'm telling you that boy can play!!! It was another awesome high energy show with lots of variety and the guys moving around all over the stage. They closed the show with "Me Estoy Enamorando" with the crowd singing along. Then Oscar left the stage. I was just going to say hello to all the guys and get out of the way, but when Oscar reemerged with posters to pass out I was getting crushed, so I fought my way out with my BIG PURSE. But I did get a chance to talk to all the guys after the autograph session. Keep going, there are LOTS more pictures (and less text LOL) on the following pages. |
