A setlist of memories provided a performance that was a carefully crafted journey through Solís’ decades-long career, blending solo hits with beloved songs from his era with Los Bukis. He opened with “Tu cárcel,” instantly igniting a wave of nostalgia, before moving into romantic staples like “Se va muriendo mi alma,” “Cuando te acuerdes de mí” and “El peor de mis fracasos.”

Los Bukis fans were rewarded with classics such as “Y ahora te vas,” “Falso amor,” and “Morenita,” while Solís’ solo catalog shined through with emotional highlights like “Si te pudiera mentir,” “La venia bendita,” and the ever-heartwrenching “Si no te hubieras ido.” He also surprised with collaborations and tributes, including Enrique Iglesias’ “El perdedor” and Jenni Rivera’s “Basta ya,” before closing on a high note with “Más que tu amigo,” leaving the arena still humming long after the lights went up.

Solis is more than just a musical icon. Solís has built a brand that extends beyond the stage. His entrepreneurial ventures include Quiereme coffee, Buki Salsa hot sauce, and his premium tequila, Tesoro Azul. Each offering reflects his dedication to Mexican culture and his personal touch, much like his music.

In 2020, he opened Mansión Solís by Hotsson, a luxury boutique hotel in Morelia, Michoacán. The hotel blends Solís’ artistry with hospitality, featuring design elements that pay homage to his songs. Amenities include a state-of-the-art pool, gym, event spaces, childcare services, and a range of themed experiences: the Quiereme café, El Milagrito bar, Tu Dulce y Mi Sal restaurant, and Amor En Silencio spa — all named after beloved tracks from his catalog.

At Toyota Arena, Solís’ presence carried the same warmth that has endeared him to audiences for decades. His voice, rich and commanding, easily filled the venue, while his connection with fans remained intimate. Even with thousands in attendance, the concert felt like a shared serenade, a reminder of how Solís’ music has served as a soundtrack for love, heartbreak and celebration across generations.

Both nights underscored the lasting impact of an artist who continues to tour the world, pack arenas, and remind audiences why he is still affectionately known as El Buki. The audience left with hoarse voices, sore feet and full hearts — exactly what Marco Antonio Solís seems to promise, every time.
