Mon Laferte’s recent performance at the Smart Financial Center in Houston was nothing short of a spectacular display of her artistry, emotion, and stagecraft. The evening started with the amazing opening act Ximena Sariñana serenading the audience. Her band included herself on keys and vocals, a guitar player, and a bass player. She made sure to get the crowd ready for a spectacular show by singing her hit song “Cobarde”. After her set, Mon Laferte was ready to take the stage, but just before, she commenced her show on a high note with the exclusive premiere of the trailer for her upcoming Netflix documentary, “Mon Laferte, Te Amo,” set to release on August 1st. The trailer offered glimpses into her pregnancy, personal life, and experiences touring while expecting, setting the tone for a deeply personal and engaging concert.
The diversity of Laferte’s band was immediately apparent and impressive. The ensemble included a Chilean guitarist, a female drummer from Mexico, two trumpet players, and four background vocalists who were also a group of talented male dancers. This eclectic mix of musicians added a rich, layered sound to the performance, complementing Laferte’s powerful and versatile vocals.
Laferte’s voice was undeniably the highlight of the night. Her insane vocal range and control kept the audience entranced from the first note to the last. The visuals accompanying the performance were equally stunning, featuring a beautiful starry night sky, a museum of paintings, a cloudy palace, and more breathtaking visuals that created a dreamy atmosphere in the venue.
Engaging with the crowd, Laferte’s charismatic personality shone through. At one point, she playfully asked if the audience missed her, adding with a laugh, “You probably tell everyone the same thing.” Her connection with the fans was warm and genuine, further demonstrated when she brought the opening act back on stage to sing two songs together, creating a sense of community and shared experience.
A standout moment was Laferte’s performance on the harmonica, showcasing her multifaceted musical talent. The evening also featured a stripped-down acoustic set, allowing her vocals to shine even more, as well as an electric guitar set. She interacted with the audience numerous times throughout the show, adding a touch of humor and intimacy to the performance. Laferte sang various of her musical hits including “Amárrame”, “Si Tú Me Quisieras” and her most popular “Tu Falta De Querer”.
Laferte’s show was nothing short of exceptional. With fans joining her on stage to dance, blowing kisses all night, and a fan’s gesture of giving her roses added to the heartfelt ambiance, at one point, Laferte asked the crowd if they should cry together, creating a collective emotional experience.
By the end of the performance, Laferte’s concert at the Smart Financial Center was an exceptional display of live performance artistry. Her combination of powerful vocals, stunning visuals, and genuine connection with the audience made for an unforgettable night. Fans left feeling not only entertained but also deeply moved by her artistic expression and personal storytelling.
Mon Laferte still has many tour dates to come including shows in Irving, El Paso, and many cities around California. Laferte’s live craft is something you do not want to miss experiencing!
