Over 7,500 people join Raphael at Roig Arena on his “Raphaelísimo” tour
The artist from Linares looked back at some of the greatest hits that have defined his career spanning more than six decades, including “Yo soy aquel,” “Mi gran noche,” “Escándalo,” and “Como yo te amo.”
Raphael blended classics from his repertoire with several tracks from “Ayer… Aún,” his latest studio album—a tribute to French chanson released in 2024.
More than 7,500 people joined Raphael tonight at Roig Arena. The singer returned to Valencia as part of his “Raphaelísimo” tour, a show with which he continues to celebrate one of the most extraordinary careers in Spanish-language music. Barely a year after his previous performance at the venue on November 1, 2025, the Linares-born artist proved once again why, at 83 years old, he remains one of Spain’s most beloved and admired figures.
With an artistic career spanning more than 60 years behind him, Raphael brought together an intergenerational audience that followed every moment of a concert marked by the charisma, stage presence, and interpretive power that have made him an icon for multiple generations. From the moment he stepped onto the stage, the singer maintained a close connection with the crowd, who responded enthusiastically to each of his performances.
The concert opened with “La noche” and continued with historic tracks from his repertoire such as “Yo sigo siendo aquel,” “Cierro mis ojos,” “Digan lo que digan,” “Mi Gran Noche,” “Cuando tú no estás,” “Estar enamorado,” and “En carne viva,” offering a journey through some of the most iconic songs of a singular career in Spanish music.
One of the most special moments of the evening came during the segment dedicated to “Ayer… Aún,” the album released in November 2024 in which Raphael pays tribute to French chanson. During this part of the show, the audience heard renditions of classics such as “Padam padam,” “La vie en rose,” and “L’hymne à l’amour.” Equally moving was his rendition of “La Llorona,” a song a young Raphael first performed back in 1967 and revived tonight.
The final stretch of the show packed in some of the most celebrated moments of the night. Songs like “Qué sabe nadie,” “Yo soy aquel,” “Escándalo,” and “Como yo te amo” were sung aloud by thousands of concertgoers, turning the closing portion of the concert into a true celebration of Raphael’s musical legacy.
