Christian Nodal Delivers Impressive Vicente Fernández Medley, Brings Out Wife Ángela Aguilar at NYC Show

Christian Nodal electrified the stage, evoking a torrent of emotions at New York’s Barclays Center on Saturday night (Oct. 26), leaving no doubt about his unmatched vocal prowess.
Unlike many of today’s concerts — especially in the música urbana landscape, which often rely heavily on pyrotechnics, costume changes, and choreography — Nodal’s performance, part of his Pa’l Cora tour, spotlighted his commanding voice above all.
Opening the concert at 9 p.m. with “El Mariachi” from the Antonio Banderas-starring Desperado soundtrack, Nodal immediately set the tone for the evening. Dressed sharply in beige snakeskin pants with turquoise accents, a matching vest, and a white long-sleeved shirt unbuttoned to reveal a silver chain with a cross and his tattoos, he embodied his signature cowboy rocker aesthetic. The Sonoran singer’s stage was embellished by a mariachi troupe in elegant deep-red outfits, an accordionist, backup singers, a brass section, and an electric guitarist — perfectly merging mariachi with norteño into his famed “mariacheño” fusion.
One of the many performance highlights was when Nodal seamlessly delivered a medley of Vicente Fernández classics, including “El Rey,” “Volver Volver,” “Acá Entre Nos” and “Mujeres Divinas.” Again, the tribute showcased his extensive vocal chops and ability to emotively convey pain, sadness, and elation, leaving the audience spellbound.
Further amplifying the night, Christian Nodal brought out surprise guest Ángela Aguilar, his wife, who only the night before made an appearance in Bogotá, Colombia, with her father, the legend Pepe Aguilar. Nodal playfully asked the crowds, “¡¿You all want her to sing?!” Ángela, donning in a sleek black outfit, pranced out and they sang their duet on “Dime Cómo Quieres.” She then exclaimed, “Because you are my husband, Christian!” showing off her ring, during the song, and by the end of it they shared a kiss before her exit, drawing cheers and applause.
Nodal’s affection for his audience was evident as he addressed them between songs, expressing a special anticipation for his New York performance. “Not to be a nice guy, but I’m going to tell you something. On the tour, there were 26 dates around the United States. But among all of them, the one I was dreaming about the most was with you, New York. Something I love about here, about New York, is that it’s a beautiful place for Latinos,” he said.
He further customized his set for the New York crowd, acknowledging the significant Dominican presence and performing a bachata live for the first time with “La Bachatita.” Additionally, unexpected covers like Maná’s “Clavado en un Bar” and Hombres G’s “Devuélveme a Mi Chica” showcased his versatility, while his renditions of “Como Una Flor” by Selena further demonstrated his broad appeal.
Nodal concluded his over two-hour performance without a vocal break — a testament to his impressive stamina. His performances of “La Intención” originally with Peso Pluma, and “Por El Resto de Tu Vida” originally with TINI, were climactic points that underscored a night of intimate connection.
The Mexican music hitmaker will continue his Pa’l Cora tour, making stops in Boston, Orlando, Atlanta, Baltimore, and more. See the remainder tour dates here.
