Marc Anthony Tickets - Iconic Star Unleashes 2010 Tour
Latin America can expect to get invaded this fall when Marc Anthony comes to the country
. The actor and musician recently announced his 2010 Latin American and U.S. tour, which will open in September at New York's Madison Square Garden and visit several cities stateside before moving abroad. The 2010 celebrations are in support of Anthony's May 2010 release Iconos, his first since 2004. Feel Anthony's world renowned stage presence when he comes to town this year with Marc Anthony tickets from StubHub.Anthony has said time and time again that he isn't ashamed of his youth, growing up lower class in the Washington project of East Harlem. His adolescent years allowed him to take influence from the immigrant community that made up his apartment complex, he affirmed during a recent interview with the New York Times. Listening to the Bee Gees, Ray Barretto, Marvin Gay and others, that mixture of cultural icons turned Anthony into a musician similar to that heard in the building's courtyard. With the latest addition, he's expanded himself even further.
Iconos, which means icons, is a Spanish standards set of romantic ballads. The album isn't the first Spanish language record to come from Anthony, but showcases Anthony's growth in the industry. After all, while it was his single "I Need to Know (Dimelo)" that earned him mainstream success he had long produced albums of a similar nature to this 2010 set. With this classic record that features production by Anthony and Julio Reyes and two new singles from the same team, Iconos demonstrates Anthony's power no matter what language. Being that Spanish is one of the languages of love doesn't hurt either.
"I'm not a salsa singer who wants to sing in English, and I'm not this American kid who wants to sing in Spanish," he said to the NY Times. "My thing is music, period." So while critics have tried to define his genre since 1999's breakout hit, Anthony has instead created his own. He further exemplifies his passion for unrefined musical exploration with Iconos, an album that spent seven weeks at the top of Billboard's Top Latin Album charts upon release. Comprised of Anthony's favorite ballads, the set includes work from artists like Juan Gabriel, Jose Luis Perales and Roberto Carlos.
While Anthony hasn't released an original set in six years, it hasn't been for lack of trying. This year marks the seventh anniversary of his marriage to actress, singer and dancer Jennifer Lopez, who together celebrated a rare feat. The couple, who have twins, were honored during the Apollo Theater's 2010 Benefit Concert and Awards ceremony when they were presented with the Ruby Dee & Ossie Davis Arts and Humanitarian Award. The annual award honors couples who manage to effortlessly balance helping the community and showing a dedication to their family and craft.
With several accolades to his name, at just 41 Anthony is closer than ever to conquering the music world. With his latest release, additional acting gigs to his name and more than 11 million records sold, Marc Anthony tickets from StubHub are not to be missed.
