Enrique Iglesias made a spectacular comeback to India after more than a decade, performing to sold-out crowds during his two-day concert in Mumbai on October 29 and 30. Held at the MMRDA Grounds in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), the concerts were part of the global tour of the “King of Latin Pop,” marking his first India performance since 2012.
Ahead of his shows, the 50-year-old Grammy-winning artist spoke to Zoom about why he decided to return. “It’s the people — their warmth and passion for music have always stayed with me,” Enrique said, reflecting on his earlier visits in 2004 and 2012. He added, “I’ve heard so much about the incredible energy in Mumbai — I couldn’t wait to feel that connection again.”
The concerts were nothing short of magical — a blend of nostalgia, emotion, and energy. Opening acts by Progressive Brothers and Jonita Gandhi set the perfect tone for the night before Enrique took the stage for a 90-minute electrifying set featuring 19 of his greatest hits. Fans sang and danced along to classics like Hero, Bailamos, and Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You), as the singer’s charisma lit up the Mumbai sky.
In his interview, Enrique shared what he believes makes his music connect so deeply with fans: “It’s about emotion — when something comes from the heart, people feel it.” When asked about his “King of Latin Pop” title, he humbly replied, “I just try to keep making music that feels honest and connects with people.”
