From the night of September 24, groups of people arrived in the vicinity of the Mexico City zocalo in the historic center to be able to secure a place in front of the stage of the free concert offered by Grupo Firme , organized by the capital’s Ministry of Culture .
On social networks, TikTok users shared videos where they narrate having arrived from 6:50 am on September 25, the day of the event, and seeing that just over 100 people had spent the night on the site. In the images you can see people lying on the sidewalk with blankets.
As the day progressed, more fans who eagerly awaited being able to enter the main square began to arrive along the avenues 20 de Noviembre and Pino Suárez. Although the public was scheduled to enter at 2:00 p.m., around 10:44 a.m. some people began to jump and push the fences to sneak in without being checked by security elements. These events were recorded in videos that show how people ran into the site to stand in front of the stage where Eduin Caz would appear at the head of Grupo Firme.
Around 7:35 p.m., the head of the CDMX government, Claudia Sheinbaum, urged the residents of the capital to enjoy the concert on television from their homes because the zócalo was already full .
Before Grupo Firme stepped on stage, the bands Ghetto Kids and La Ventaja began to warm up and at 8:15 p.m. Eduin Caz and company began the concert that has already become something historic, since according to the capital authorities , more than 280 thousand people .
With that figure, Grupo Firma broke the record established by the singer Vicente Fernández at his February 2009 concert, which was attended by 219,000 people.
During the presentation, songs such as ‘El amor no fue pa’ mí’, ‘En tu perra vida’, ‘Efectos del alcohol’ were heard, at which point Johnny Caz displayed an LGBTIQ+ flag and shouted: “Up the jotiza!” .
Eduin also took a moment to acknowledge the head of government: “We want to give special thanks to the Government of Mexico City, our friend Claudia Sheinbaum and Claudia Curiel for the facilities for holding this event.”
After almost three hours of concert, the vocalist announced: “Family, did you have a good time? We already have to withdraw” and he informed: “Today we are breaking a record my people! Tonight a dream came true.”
On social networks, Eduin shared a recording of the event with which he wrote: “Dreams are fulfilled by working, thanks for this new family record . “
