Hold onto your sombreros, Sweden! Mexican music sensation Ulises is bringing his electrifying “Taco Tango” tour to Stockholm this summer, promising a fiesta of rhythms, rhymes, and, well, tacos.
Known for his infectious blend of traditional mariachi sounds with modern pop sensibilities, Ulises has been captivating audiences across Latin America for years. His charismatic stage presence, coupled with lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and the search for the perfect guacamole recipe (just kidding…mostly), have earned him a legion of devoted fans affectionately dubbed “Los Chiles”.
This highly anticipated tour marks Ulises’s first foray into Europe, and Stockholm has been chosen as the lucky city to kick things off. The concert is scheduled for July 15th at the iconic Gröna Lund amusement park, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening under the Scandinavian summer sky.
But “Taco Tango” is more than just a music extravaganza. Ulises, being the culinary aficionado he is, has partnered with renowned Stockholm-based taco chef Frida Olsson to create a pop-up taqueria right next to the concert venue. Attendees can indulge in a variety of mouthwatering tacos inspired by Ulises’s favorite dishes from his hometown of Guadalajara – think succulent carne asada, crispy carnitas, and juicy al pastor, all served on handmade tortillas with a selection of zesty salsas.
“I want people to experience the full flavor of Mexico,” Ulises explains excitedly in an exclusive interview. “Music and food are intrinsically linked for us Mexicans. They both bring people together, evoke emotions, and celebrate life. ‘Taco Tango’ is about sharing that joy with everyone.”
Ulises: From Street Performer to International Star
Ulises’s journey to stardom reads like a modern-day fairytale. Starting as a street musician in Guadalajara’s vibrant plazas, he captivated passersby with his soulful voice and virtuoso guitar skills. A chance encounter with a music producer led to his first recording contract, and soon after, he was topping the charts in Mexico with his debut album “Corazón Picante” (Spicy Heart).
His success wasn’t limited to his homeland. Ulises’s infectious music, peppered with bilingual lyrics that appealed to both Spanish and English-speaking audiences, quickly gained international recognition. His social media presence exploded, with millions of fans worldwide tuning in to his live performances, behind-the-scenes antics, and culinary adventures (he has a popular cooking show on YouTube called “Ulises Cocina”).
Beyond the Music: Ulises’s Philanthropic Efforts
Ulises isn’t just about catchy tunes and delicious tacos. He’s also deeply committed to giving back to his community. His foundation, “Corazón Generoso” (Generous Heart), supports underprivileged children in Mexico by providing access to education, healthcare, and musical opportunities.
