With the idol in Acapulco, this is how Luis Miguel was talked about in 1990, when he received 10 gold records for the sales success obtained with his album “La unconditional”, it was June 12, 33 years ago and in the pages of EL UNIVERSAL The visit of the then 20-year-old singer to the beloved port of Acapulco was narrated, which is currently struggling to recover after the devastating passage of Hurricane “Otis.”

Three decades ago, Luismi’s visit to the paradisiacal place took place to receive recognition for the sale of one million records; The press and fans followed in the footsteps of the so-called “Sol de México”, who was received as what he already was at that time, an idol.

Luis Miguel’s representatives organized a whirlwind trip to the port of Acapulco to publicize his new record material, which was already being heard at the time on different radio stations in the country.

Currently, the singer has a couple of concerts scheduled in the port for December 27 and 28 as part of his tour; Despite the damage caused in Acapulco by Hurricane “Otis”, so far these shows will take place, while it was announced that the singer donated 10 million pesos for the reconstruction of one of the places that boosted his career.

The meeting was at the Las Brisas hotel, Acapulco and this was what this newspaper reported.

Ten minutes before 11 in the morning on Tuesday, June 12, an Aeroméxico plane took off from the Benito Juárez international airport bound for the beaches of the Mexican Pacific. The device rose to 18,000 feet above sea level and 35 minutes later landed at the local airport. Aboard several jeeps the press delegation arrived at the meeting point. A splendid panorama offered the bay of Acapulco, dominated by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius.

The WEA recording company offered its guests all kinds of wines and liquors to make the wait for Luis Miguel less tedious, who had arrived at the port the day before, followed by two admirers: Daffne and a friend followed Luis Miguel’s route with their own resources.

How much can the cost of two plane tickets mean when the most important thing is to be close to your idol? Nothing…! would be the response of the two fans. They only had one problem. One, but definitive because it truncated its objective: The insurmountable barrier imposed by the security personnel prevented their entry to the Las Brisas super-luxury complex. Impossible to go one step further without the authorization of executive Oscar Mendoza, director of Mercado WEA.

Around two in the afternoon Luis Miguel arrived dressed in black pants and a white linen shirt. He entered smiling, shook hands with everyone and then posed for press photographers. Shortly after, a buffet of seafood was served: shrimp, lobsters, squid and octopus, accompanied by white wine.

Cheers! Luis Miguel had a glass of champagne. The questions and answers began. Also the flashes. Is his romance with actress Brigitte Nielsen true or a lie? asked a newbie in entertainment journalism.

“We’re just good friends…” he replied, because there’s no way he’d tell a stranger about his adventures. And he wanted to please everyone, with a certain modesty.

“In Monaco we were at a meeting, like here, suddenly she sat on my lap and the photographers printed the image that went around the world. That’s all. There is nothing beyond a simple friendship…”

Sure? – we ask… knowing that Luis Miguel lives an adventure and… as a gentleman “forgets.”

“Sure!” he replied. When someone questioned him about the WEA/FM Globo problem, which was exclusive to our columnist Vilo Arias, he pointed out:

– Is not my bussiness. In any case, it is my company that should say something, if it wants… This question and the question of whether I would change record companies were the ones that raised spirits a little.

The interpreter of “La Inconditional” observed the immensity of the blue sea, captured by Cristina Martínez’s camera as a romantic painting, ideal for those in love with the beauty of Acapulco. He had commented on the occasion that his new album is another stage in his artistic life.

This LP, Luis Miguel 20 years, which contains the songs “Entrégate”, “Oro De ley”, “I have everything except you”, “Cuestión de piedra”, “Amante de amor”, “Today the air smells like you” “, “Could it be that you don’t love me”, “Beyond everything”, “More” and “Someone like you”, is the most romantic of all those he has recorded.
