BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Ángela Torres, a rising star in the music scene, will be the opening act for Shakira during her three concerts at Estadio Vélez Sarsfield on December 8, 9, and 11.

“I’m going to open for Shakira at Vélez,” said the 27-year-old singer. Her statement drew applause from her colleagues, and when host Nico Occhiato inquired about the month, Torres confirmed it was December, prompting a surprised response from him.

These concerts mark a continuation of Shakira’s successful return to Argentina after her previous performances in March at Campo Argentino de Polo, where she captivated audiences for over two hours with hits like “Hips Don’t Lie” and “Te Felicito.” The upcoming shows are part of Shakira’s “Estoy Aquí” tour, which aims to reconnect with the essence of her earlier career.

Additionally, Torres posted a nostalgic video from her adolescence, recalling her early performance of Shakira’s hit “Inevitable.”

Shakira’s return to Argentina was announced in mid-September, reviving anticipation among fans. Due to high demand, a third show was added, also featuring Torres. The selection of Torres as Shakira’s opening act comes after a strong period in her career, during which she gained recognition through live performances and social media.

Recently, Torres revealed personal details during an episode of “Nadie Dice Nada,” including the full name on her identification, which is Ángela Azul Concepción Caccia Currá. She shared that “Torres” is a stage name, taken from her grandmother. Her playful personality and humor captured audience attention and quickly went viral on social media.

As she prepares for this significant performance opportunity, Torres also noted that her uncle, famous singer Diego Torres, shares the family name Caccia. This revelation adds a layer of familial pride to her artistic identity.

With expectations high, Torres is set to bring fresh energy to Shakira’s shows, marking a notable moment for both artists and the audience. Shakira, reflecting on her return, mentioned her eagerness to perform for a loyal audience that has supported her since the beginning of her career.
