榮獲格萊美(Grammy)與美國公告榜(Billboard)肯定的墨西哥歌手亞雷漢德羅‧費南德茲(Alejandro Fernandez)，在今年一月下旬 ( 編按：原文為1月21日)宣布，即將在西班牙與拉丁美洲等20個國家舉辦50場演唱會，展開他演藝生涯中最為盛大的巡迴演出。費南德茲將這次巡迴表演的名稱定為「等待風起 (Viento a Favor)」，取自他最新的同名暢銷流行樂專輯。

「等待風起」這張專輯，在墨西哥當地狂賣了25萬張。專輯中有一首名為「我將失去你(Te Voy A Perder)」的火紅歌曲，深受費南德茲的喜愛。這首歌在描述戀人彼此間的猜疑與不忠，而這樣類似的主題，也經常出現在費南德茲的音樂世界裡。

對於這次的巡迴演出，費南德茲承諾要讓樂迷們耳目一新。在舞台上，除了硬體方面將有100平方公尺的巨型LED螢幕與超過120盞的聚光燈外，還找來十一位墨西哥街頭歌手、四位合聲人員與十位伴奏樂師，一共25人的大陣仗。至於表演的曲目，費南德茲將演唱暢銷單曲來征服墨西哥與全球樂迷的心，種類包括了浪漫情歌與墨西哥民謠。

當問到費南德茲這次的演出，觀眾會期待些什麼，他回答說：「參加演唱會的樂迷朋友，首先會從中獲得樂趣，然後他們將會發覺到完全不同於以往的費南德茲【shows 4】」。

不過，在費南德茲展開巡迴演唱會之前，他將應墨西哥當地歌迷的熱烈要求，在一月份與二月份時，於墨西哥城(Mexico City)與墨西哥第二大城瓜達拉哈拉(Guadalajara)，先行舉辦幾場音樂會。隨後，費南德茲將啟程前往巴拿馬、格斯達里加、尼加拉瓜、洪都拉斯、薩爾瓦多、危地馬拉、多米尼加共和國、波多里哥、委內瑞拉、哥倫比亞、玻利維亞、烏拉圭、阿根廷、智利、秘魯與厄瓜多爾，展開巡迴演出，最後則在西班牙為巡迴演唱畫下完美的休止符。

屹立歌壇15個年頭、36歲的費南德茲，是非常受歡迎的墨西哥歌手。他在1992年時推出個人首張專輯，目前總共發行了17張專輯，全球銷售量高達一千五百萬張。很多當紅的電視連續劇，經常以費南德茲的歌曲作為主題曲。

年輕時的費南德茲，曾在建築領域專研過。後來他與身為民謠歌手的父親維森 (Vicente Fernandez)，一同錄製「我倆的愛(Love of us two)」這首歌，啟迪了費南德茲的歌唱事業，並讓他決心追隨父親的腳步。

等到這次巡迴演出結束後，費南德茲計畫開始製作新的民謠音樂專輯。
