 Hi everyone!! In this post I will tell you about the best concert in my life, although I have not been to many concerts haha. The concert that I liked the most was Black Eyed Peas I think around the year 2014.  I remember that the concert was one day in the afternoon and I went with my dad. The concert it was at the Bicentennial Stadium in the commune La Florida. I really like the music of this group and back then I was even more fanatic haha. Black Eyed Peas was conformed for Will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap, Taboo, J. Rey Soul and Fergie. Talking about what the concert was, really it was spectacular! the lights, the sound and the giant screens that they had made it great. Also the voice of the singer Fergie was really incredible, she was the one I liked the most of the group.  My favorite part of the concert It was when Fergie sang the song “My Humps” and then the song I gotta feeling they are very good songs!
