India Martinez

The first guest was Melendi, who returned to the Auditorium four days after opening the edition to sing “Si ella supiera” with India and then surprise the crowd with “Con solo una sonrisa”. The most emotional passage came with “Niño sin miedo”, performed with the Coro Olvidados, the song that earned the artist the Goya for Best Original Song in 2015. Naiara joined her on “Corazón hambriento”, a track closely tied to her time at the Operación Triunfo academy. In the final stretch, Las Rodes came on for “Ya no duele” and Leire Martínez closed the round of guests with “Deseo de cosas imposibles” and “Mi nombre”. The concert ended with “Obsesión” and the audience on its feet.

The night did not end with the last chord. After the concert, the party moved to the Starlite Sessions stage, where India Martínez took over as DJ for a festive set that extended the evening. When the third edition closed, the organisers singled out this concert as one of the most emotional moments of the season, thanks to the complicity with friends such as Leire Martínez and Naiara, and her set at Starlite Sessions as one of the special performances in the late-night space. Starlite Occident Madrid continued until December 23 with concerts, restaurants, a Christmas market and after parties; the next date in the Auditorium was Miguel Poveda on Friday the 19th.
