As the man behind some of Lady Gaga’s biggest hits and a featured artist on over 35 Billboard Hot 100 singles, Senegalese-raised R&B singer/producer Akon is one of the most ubiquitous – and unique – artists in contemporary hip hop. With 2013 the release of “Angel,” the David Guetta-produced lead single from his upcoming fourth studio album Stadium, Akon scored another hit and signaled a turn towards an increasingly dance-oriented sound. “Angel” follows the success of 2009’s chart-topping Freedom, which added to his already-impressive solo career with hits like “Right Now (Na Na Na)” and “I’m So Paid (feat. Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy).” Splitting time between New Jersey and Senegal as a child, Akon developed a unique musical sensibility inspired by West African musical traditions East Coast hip hop. A singer and multi-instrumentalist, he attracted the attention of label execs in 2003 with “Lonely,” which would go on to be a No. 1 single from his 2004 debut Trouble. 2006 follow-up Konvicted proved even more successful, earning Akon several Grammy nominations and his first No. 1 on the Hot 100 with “I Wanna Love You (feat. Snoop Dogg).” Ticket buyers rave about Akon’s positive energy and special guest-filled live concerts, while looking forward to the upcoming release of his fourth studio album Stadium.
this show was ok...but, I would have to say most boring concert I have ever been to. Akon and Florida did perform good don't get me wrong Z95 usually does good in putting shows together and this one just didn't feel like other concerts...
All the concert was amazing! Both of them got down to join the audience.
Best concert in Laredo yet!!! If you're a true AKON fan you will love it.
I have to say the concert was good. I however paid $50 for my tickets when the person next to me paid $10 because she got tickets during a promotion time. IF tickets are going to be $10 they should be from the start!!!! That is the reason why I only rated this average. I was VERY mad!
Great concert. Akon allowed everyone come to the floor....even the people in the nose bleed section!
I enjoyed his show very much, but sad to see he went in all thug looking, I wanted to see him in a suit. He's really sexy, interactive too. I would see him again. I totally love his music. Can't wait to hear more from him.
I bought the tickets mainly to see Akon, but I have to admit Pit Bull was awesome!! He took the show. I am glad he came on after Akon, as Akon was so disappointing! Why didn't he sing his songs all the way through? I will never go to another Akon concert again, but I will go see Pit Bull! :-)
Pitbull was very impressive. However Akon on the other hand...........I thought he was supposed to be the headliner? Since when do they perform first? I liked his show but do wish that he would have sang his entire songs instead of pieces here and there. I loved the ending of the show! Pitbull kept the crowd alive.
I really liked this concert. Akon offered funny anecdotes that lead to each one of his songs. He gave such a good performance that it was easy to forget that he was the only one singing. Pitbull also gave an amazing performance. He brought some flava to El Paso. Everybody was singing and dancing his songs.
The concert was awesome, seeing Akon jump into the crowd and falling the first time was funny!
Although the show started an hour later than was on the ticket and dispite Akon going first to Pitbull it was still a good show. Great song selection by Akon. I did enjoy myself at this concert and I would still go see him again if he comes around again.
Akon was awesome! He has so much energy throughout the entire concert. Pitbull was a surprise because he was NOT mentioned on the ticket but was being announced on the local radio stations.
I am a bit confused as to why Akon was listed as a headliner on the tickets but he opened up for PitBull???? Akon's show was thrilling. He really connected with the audience and was charming and lovable. It was my son's very first concert and I was so excited that Akon put on such a great show. It was nice to see another young up and coming artist with him: Jimmy Two Times. We enjoyed him and look forward to seeing more from him in the future!! I hope Akon returns to El Paso again soon!!
Akon is the BEST He involves himself with the crowd Gets the crowd on their feet dancing and having so mush fun, The best concert I have been to and I have been to many. Saw him in Vegas for NEw Years INCREDIBLE and now in El Paso Worth the distance . I live in southern Calif.
AKON WAS A GREAT PERFORMER. IT WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. HIS MUSIC IS THE BEST.
Akon was hype and got the crowds into the concert. He surfed the crowds and had everyone sing in parts of the songs. He was all over the place and that was great. When a performer is energetic and glad to be somewhere, it makes the event that much better. The ONLY thing that could have made it better was doing complete songs (he sang half of a song and go to the next or something) and to do more of his music (for example, listening to Bananza would have been great). But, overall this performance was AWESOME!
I thought Akon was great. Pitbull sang his songs so fast that they did not sound like his songs and like he was in a hurry to get out of the Sun city. He was disappointing.
This was really my first live Hip-Hop concert. Akon was wonderful! The tactics he used to hype up the audience were great! It was a lot of fun! I haven't danced like that in the longest time. I felt, though, that some of the comments and bits of advice he made/gave to audience members, even though they were probably delivered with good intentions, were a bit superficial. It is a shame that someone who is that influential with young people isn't able to give them something more useful in life. But then, perhaps he has yet to experience life to its fullest yet. I did, however, think that his comment about enjoying every minute of life was good advice. But one should always remember that we are all held accountable for the choices that we make and that we should not hurt and/or hinder ourselves or anyone else in the process. Overall this was a fun event and I would recommend Akon concerts to friends anytime. I give much thanks to Akon and friends for a very enjoyable evening. Peace out.
It was my nephew and friends first concert.... I'll have to say it was great all the way around. Eventhough there was an hour delay, it was bad ass, not to mention Pitbull, put on quite the show as well non stop. Thanks the kids really loved it.....
Even though the concert started an hour and a half after the doors opened, Akon's performance was awesome. In between songs, he would talk about dating, clubbing, etc. and then his song would start. After Pitbull came out, WOOOWWWW! he is he hottest man alive!!!!!!Pitbull's songs were INCREDIBULOUS!!!!!
