Thalía performs in Times Square for Mexican Independence Day
Mexican singer and actress Thalía held a special appearance in New York City's Times Square to celebrate Mexican Independence Day. During a broadcast of ‘Despierta América’, she performed a new version of Juan Gabriel’s ‘Así fue’, accompanied by pianist Arthur Hanlon and a mariachi ensemble.
The performance, which incorporated bachata-style rhythmic elements, drew mixed reactions from social media users. While some praised her vocal presence and the cultural significance of the event, others criticized the musical arrangement for deviating from the song's traditional essence. Additionally, some viewers raised questions regarding the use of playback during the televised segment.
In addition to the musical performance, Thalía wore a high-fashion gown designed by Dominican creator Giannina Azar. The appearance also served as a platform for the artist to preview upcoming musical projects.
