Codiciado has launched the second leg of his Ando Enfocado tour, marking his first visit to the East Coast. The Mexican singer-songwriter is performing his heady repertoire since kicking off in 2016 with Grupo Codiciado. The songs ranges from “Ni Mis Padres Saben Qué Rollo,” to his solo fan-favorites like “Golpes de la Vida,” “Ando Enfocado, “Vamos Aclarando Muchas Cosas,” and a few classic covers, including Los Tiranos del Norte’s “Hasta La Piel Amarga.”
The tour’s first show took place on Friday (Sept. 27) at the 2,700-capacity Brooklyn Paramount in New York City. Accompanied by a nine-piece ensemble, including a brass section (a tuba and trumpets), guitarist, bassist, drummer, tololoche and an accordionist, Codiciado arrived to the stage wearing his characteristic durag, Adidas jumpsuit, and his huge sparkly diamond-encrusted chains. The Tijuana-born star opened with “Bélico el Asunto,” setting the tone for pure revelry and la belikeada.
Throughout his two hour set, which started at 8:45 p.m., Codiciado kept the Latin crowd, mostly Mexican — many of them lofting the Mexican flag — lit, spanning from his early hits with his previous band Grupo Codiciado with albums like 2018’s Miro Lo Que Otros No Miran to his 2023 solo album Golpes de la Vida, as well as collaborations with other artists.
He also passed out roses to the fans on the front row and flirted with the women in attendance. “I’m very sad,” he said, leaving the fans in suspense about what he was going to say next. “But there’s a problem, I’m married. So my wife doesn’t understand that I want to have many girlfriends. I really like the güeritas with blue eyes, and the blanquitas with black hair, and the morenitas with curly hair.” He then presumed to invite a batch of women on stage to dance with them, one by one, to the excitement of many females.
Codiciado continues his Ando Enfocado Tour until the end of October, followed by stops in Rosemont, Ill.; Houston; San Jose, Calif.; and wrapping in Reno, Nev.
