The Ivan Cornejo Concert took place in Ontario, CA on November 22, 2023
(Wednesday) at the Toyota Arena. Ivan is a 19 year old Mexican-American singer who grew big
when his song “Esta Dañada” became so popular that it hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Attending Ivan Cornejo’s concert was really amazing. There were a lot of people and his concert
was just overall a really great experience. He was supposed to start at 8:00pm but he came out
around 9:10pm. When he came out the crowd got really loud. I really enjoyed the energy
everyone in the arena was giving him but sometimes my ears would hurt by how loud it got. He
sang some popular songs like “Perro Abandonado” and “Esta Dañada.” He also sang a cover
song like “¡Corre!” by JESSE & JOY.
After that he made a joke that the concert was over after 1 hour of singing. Everyone was
chanting for him to come out and he did. He came out singing out another 2 cover songs by
Ritchie Valens called, “We Belong Together” and “Donna.” Everyone got really loud and started
singing along with him. Throughout the whole show he kept smiling and feeling really proud of
himself. It made me really happy as well that he was getting the recognition he needed because
there’s not really many popular Mexican-American singers getting the recognition they deserve.
It still amazes me till this day that he became popular at a really young age because he still has a
long way to go.
After all that happened, Ivan Cornejo surprised us and brought out 3 special guests at
different times. He brought out Yahritza y Su Esencia first. Then, Becky G, and Armado Eslabon
last. The crowd was loud when Yahritza came out but it got louder when Becky G came out and
it became even louder when Armado came out. I really love Becky G because well, she was my
favorite singer growing up and knowing that she began singing songs in Spanish made me really
happy. I especially love the song she made with Ivan so knowing they sang it at his concert
made me really excited. They said “2NDO CHANCE.” Her voice sounded really nice and it just
made me love the concert even more than I already did. Adding on, when Armado Eslabon came
out, everyone got extremely loud. My ears started to ring a bit because of how loud it was.
Everyone was just as excited and happy and I was and I was screaming with everyone else as
well. They both sang the songs, “Hasta La Muerte” and “La Curiosidad.” Everyone was really
loud singing along with them and after they finished with those two songs, they ended it with
confetti being thrown at everyone. To end it off, nobody would let Ivan leave without singing his
recent song “Donde Estás” and so he did. That is how he ended his concert which finished at
around 10:50pm.
One of my favorite songs that Ivan Cornejo sang at the concert was his recent song that
he just came out with called “Donde Estás.” It’s a really well written song, along with a really
great beat and melody. The song really is great but the lyrics are even better. It was even better to
see him perform it in person while singing along to it with everyone else. Ivan Cornejo’s concert
was really great! At first I thought it was just going to be like every other concert but I was still
very excited. If I could, I would want to go again.
