An excited Malú sang again in Seville to celebrate the

25th anniversary of the beginning of her career

in music with her first song, 'Aprendiz', composed by

Alejandro Sanz,

whom she had known since she was a child as a friend of her family, and who also It was his first big success.

Everything was going well at the Cartuja Center, with all the tickets sold a few months ago, when, in the final stretch, the audience in the upper tier insisted that the lights be turned on.

An accident had occurred.

Malú and his band stopped playing;

She tried to make light of the matter, after five minutes she said that everything was "in order", until she received the correct information

.

"We have to stop the concert, because what is happening is not right,"

she said.

Apparently, a girl who had traveled to Seville from Fuenlabrada had fainted, and must not have fallen to the ground.

Some people who were close to her told EL MUNDO that

the girl suffered a strong and complicated blow to her back and neck,

so she could not and should not be moved to avoid greater harm;

She had to wait for the arrival of the ambulance to be able to move her.

Everything was

stopped for half an hour,

with the public outside the venue, until the health services arrived.

Those responsible for the Cartuja Center told everyone to come back in and take their seats so they could evacuate the young woman to the hospital.

There was

another incident,

although milder, a lipothymia of another young woman located in the stalls area.

And Malú continued with her performance, performing 'Ausente' and a medley of songs that had already been played during the concert: 'Invisible', 'A proof of you'.

'I'll See You Again', 'Now You', 'Nobody' (by Manuel Carrasco), 'Give Me Life Back' (by Antonio Orozco), 'Toda', 'Black and White', 'I'm Not Going to Change', ' Nothing surprises me' and 'Aprendiz' - the same one with which he began his performance -, to finish, once again, as in previous tours, with 'Como una flor', with which he introduced his - wonderful - band, formed by nine musicians, among them, his brother Jose de Lucía.

Malú's concert in Seville took place just one day before - today, the 25th - the tenth anniversary of the death of her uncle Paco de Lucía, a date that is also being remembered these days in New York, in the festival called

'Paco de Lucía Legacy',

for which most of his family has traveled to the Big Apple, among them, Malú's father and brother of the great guitarist from Algeciras, the singer Pepe de Lucía.

When Malú debuted as a singer, at only 16 years old, it was in Seville where she went on stage for the first time, and it was then when she premiered her first song, 'Aprendiz', which in turn became her first big hit. of his long career in music.

That first album already sold a million copies.

For this reason, it is the theme chosen to open the concerts of this theater tour that is taking her through half of Spain - her next appointment, on

March 1, in Zaragoza.

After performing two songs, he greeted the Seville audience.

"Coming home for me is always magic, it's always special, today more than ever," he said with a slightly trembling voice, "with this show of these 25 years that we have prepared with so much passion, to go back and remember so many things with each of those songs.

From there, and for two hours,

he interspersed slow songs and others full of force

that continually raised the audience from their seats, showing his great, recognizable voice, a voice that easily reaches the highs and lows, and moving to sometimes like a rocker, and changing between her usual black/leather look and short dresses full of glitter and sequins.

'Tell', In love', 'For once', 'The blackout', 'If I'm crazy', 'I've known you forever', 'Hey' -recorded with Israel Fernández-, 'You call this love'... An endless list of topics known to everyone.

There was no lack of

flamenco touch

accompanied even by a cajon, a touch that is always implicit in her performances even if they are pop songs;

because Malú is flamenco.

Reinterpreted themes that deal with lived moments that now, with the passing of the years, she feels, lives and enjoys "in a different way. They are mine and it is my story," she said.

He thanked the public for "the way in which you have handled the situation -referring to the accident that occurred-. You have held on and you are all still here. Exactly. You are from Seville. I hope to see you again very soon in Seville."
