Christian Nodal has officially wrapped his 2024 U.S. Pa’l Cora Tour, during which he visited fans in Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and Atlanta. In the midst of his 25-date arena trek, Billboard caught up with the mariacheño superstar at the Barclays Center in New York for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look of his tour.
Nodal — a forward-thinking Música Mexican artist in his music and style — showed off his wardrobe that included shirts, jackets, vest and sunglasses. He wears the latter of the four only when he’s undergoing laser removal of his face tattoos.
“I’d love to have a clothing brand one day, and what better than to try it on yourself?” he said of his tour outfits. “I’m checking fabrics, textures, and leathers. I love playing a bit with cowboy, mariachi and ranchero looks.”
One of Nodal’s favorite spots to perform at is in New York City because “it’s very special” for the musician. “In general, all the places are special, but New York has magic,” he noted. “It’s very nice because people come from different Latin American countries, not just Mexicans […] People come to the show from all over the world, and that makes the energy much bigger.”
Part of the trek also included a meet-and-greet with his fans, which he says are “euphoric!” “It’s always nice because sometimes they tell anecdotes,” he explained. “There’s not much time [to greet fans] because there are a lot of people.”
A production manager, a monitor engineer, 25 musicians between mariachi and an orchestra, and even a special appearance by his wife and artist, Angela Aguilar, are some of the team players that backed up Nodal’s tour. Watch the Tour Stop with Billboard above.
