Elvis Crespo
The undisputed international icon of merengue, Elvis Crespo, will take to the magical stage of Starlite Occident for the first time on Saturday, July 11th, to give a concert that promises rhythm, energy, and a total connection with the audience.
With a career spanning more than two decades, and coinciding with the 20th anniversary of his historic album Suavemente, Elvis Crespo continues to leave an indelible mark on the music industry. Throughout his career, he has placed 27 singles on the Billboard charts and has written some of the greatest anthems in Latin music. Born in New York and raised in Puerto Rico, he developed a passion for music at a very young age, beginning his professional career in various orchestras before making the definitive leap as a solo artist.
His debut album, Suavemente, marked a turning point in the tropical genre, reaching number one on five Billboard charts. Songs such as “Suavemente” and “Tu sonrisa” became global hits, with sales exceeding one million copies in the United States and more than four million worldwide.
On this first visit to Starlite Occident, the audience will be able to enjoy live performances of great classics such as “Suavemente”, “Tu sonrisa”, “Píntame”, and “Nuestra canción” on a night designed for dancing and celebrating to the rhythm of merengue.

THE BEST BOUTIQUE FESTIVAL IN THE WORLD
After fourteen editions, Starlite Occident has established itself as the longest-running boutique festival, featuring more than 60 days of concerts.
In the same space, music, culture and gastronomy converge, providing an exceptional event for those who long for close and intimate shows in an environment of incomparable beauty. Its programming includes options for all audiences, ages and musical tastes.
At Starlite Occident the sound is another level, being the only festival in Spain that uses the most advanced audio system in the world, the same one used at Sphere Immersive in Las Vegas. Each note is perceived with a clarity impossible to find at another festival. Here music is not only heard, it is felt.
The experience begins before the concert with its gastronomic offer in a summer terrace atmosphere, and continues after the show with shows and DJs where you can dance in an unparalleled environment. Starlite Occident offers the possibility of acquiring the complete experience by adding dinner to the concert in one of its five restaurants or a table in the Sessions area to enjoy the after parties.
In addition, the Starlite Gala takes place every year. Led by its hosts, Antonio Banderas and Sandra García-Sanjuán, it has become the charity event par excellence, rewarding the solidarity work of those who have made others' cause their own.
