If Miami and Orlando, Florida were women, they would still be swooning, fanning themselves, and trying in vain to wipe the drool off their chins.....yes, Chayanne, Marc Anthony, and Marco Antonio Solis, set it off! You know a concert is tight when it gets a write up in Billboard on it's opening weekend!
Here's an excerpt from the Billboard article:
Marc
Anthony, Chayanne & Marco Antonio Solis Deliver Once-in-a-Lifetime
Sets at Gigant3s Tour

In a world of showy tours and staging one-up-manship, music often
seems to take second place to just about everything else. Not so
with Gigant3s, the joint tour by Latin stars
Marc Anthony,
Chayanne and
Marco Antonio Solís that launched Aug. 2 with two sold-out dates at the American Airlines Arena.
Gigant3s features three of the top selling male acts in Latin
music, all dominant in specific subgenres (Marc Anthony in tropical
and pop, Chayanna in ballads and up-tempo pop and Solís in Mexican
ballads and pop) and all arena headliners in their own right.
Which
means sharing a bill could have been a complex diplomatic mission.
Instead, what audiences saw was democracy at its best: A single
stage and a single set-up with just the musicians -- bands and
headliners -- changing places. It made for smooth sailing, with each
change-over taking no more than three minutes (seriously) and with
singular focus on the musical performance rather than the props.............The show ended with Chayanne, performing with a more pared-down band
and a team of dancers who ran the gamut from Broadway to burlesque,
with Chayanne part of every move. The Puerto Rican singer went deep
into his catalogue, mining tracks like "Dejaría Todo" and
re-purposing "Lola" in a 1950s rock 'n' roll version. Most
satisfying, though, was the maturing of Chayanne's voice, which has
come to its own in both expression and body.
So that's three shows down and twelve more to go! So who's next?

Mohegan Sun Arena - Uncasville, CT
I have to admit, that I'm extremely excited about this tour, three for one you can't beat that. And what makes it so wonderful is that Chayanne, Marc, and Marco, are genuinely enjoying working with one another.
I was talking with my mother about the concert, and of course this gave her the opportunity to talk about her favorite hotties from her youth, Jackie Wilson, James Brown, and her all time favorite Lou Rawls. She told me how back in the day singers would travel and perform together all the time, and people loved it!
I think people still love it and the success of Gigant3s is proof. I have no doubt that when August 17th comes I'm going to enjoy seeing Marc and Marco perform, this will be my first time seeing either one of them in concert.....but I'm waiting with much anticipation to feel my pulse race, and my heart skip a beat when my six foot something, tall drink of sexy hits the stage!
Our YouTube Channel is a work in progress but we hope that we'll be able to keep you connected with what everyone's watching.
I'm sending a shout out right now to all the Gigant3s fans who'll be
lighting up Facebook and Twitter this weekend. Don't forget to holla
at'cha girls from "The Box".
~Peace
