More than 16,000 people roar alongside Fito & Fitipaldis at Roig Arena
The band presented songs from their new album “El monte de los aullidos” in a concert that also featured their greatest hits.
The show brought together several generations of fans united by the music of Fito & Fitipaldis, the true soundtrack of their lives.
16,000 people, a completely packed venue and a collective roar announced that the night was going to be special. Tickets for Fito & Fitipaldis’ only concert at Roig Arena had been sold out for months. The desire to celebrate both new and classic hits was evident from the very beginning of the show. After several years away from the city, the band returned to Valencia as part of their “Aullidos Tour 25/26”, a tour that combines the songs from their eighth album, “El monte de los aullidos”, with the anthems that have marked several generations.
The concert opened with a large backdrop outlining the unmistakable silhouette of Fito Cabrales, complete with his iconic beret, glasses and guitar. The audience’s response was immediate. Without the need for any gimmicks, the first chords of “A contraluz”, a track from the new album, kicked off a night that soon traveled back to 2004 with “Un buen castigo”. The first major moment of collective euphoria arrived quickly, as Fito launched into the well‑known “Por la boca vive el pez”, a song that refers to music as a vital necessity. For a few more minutes, while “Me equivocaría otra vez” played, time seemed frozen in 2006, before returning to the present with “Los cuervos se lo pasan bien”.
Accompanied by six musicians, Fito & Fitipaldis showed that they need neither visual excess nor grand special effects. Sobriety —and above all a powerful live performance, great musicians and strong songwriting— is more than enough to win over both the generations who grew up with their early albums and the many young fans who knew every lyric by heart.
One of the most emotional moments of the night came when Fito performed “A quemarropa”, one of his most personal songs, dealing with the unconditional love he feels for his children. This was followed by an extended section devoted to the new album, including “El monte de los aullidos”, “Volverá el espanto” and “Cielo hermético”.
The final stretch of the concert was reserved for timeless classics. The energy multiplied with “La casa por el tejado”, followed by “Soldadito marinero”, sung in unison by the entire Roig Arena. Fito also revisited “Entre dos mares”, a song from Platero y Tú, unleashing pure nostalgia among longtime fans. As a finale, the band delivered the now‑essential “Antes de que cuente diez”, bringing the night to a close with an outburst of collective emotion.
