<\/p>\nLegendary producer and musician Alan Parsons came to the rescue when his friend Mexican singer-songwriter Aleks Syntek could not secure work visas for his musicians for his upcoming U.S. tour.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor this occasion, a problem arose\u2014because, as you know, things are difficult for Latinos in the United States right now\u2014and we weren\u2019t able to secure work visas for my musicians in time. So, I\u2019m going to bring Alan Parsons\u2019 musicians instead,\u201d said the renowned pop-rock star who is celebrating 35 years of musical career.<\/p>\n
Parsons has been a friend of Syntek for a long time and was wrapping up his tour in March.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, I said to him, \u201cHey, lend me your band,\u201d and he said, \u2018Sure,\u2019\u201d Syntek said to the Fresno Bee. \u201cSo, I\u2019m happy because they are top-notch musicians\u2014they\u2019re incredible\u2014and the band is going to sound really good.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 56-year-old Syntek kicked off his sprint tour \u2013 which covers 8 states and 12 cities – in New York on April 3 and will end Dallas on April 26.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Aleks Syntek celebrates 35 years with an eight-state U.S. tour, enlisting Alan Parsons\u2019 musicians and making his Fresno debut at the Rainbow Ballroom on April 17.<\/p>\n
He was scheduled to perform in Fresno on Friday, April 17, at the Rainbow Ballroom downtown taking the audience on a journey through his songs, spanning from the nineties to the present-day including songs that were singles and became famous on the radio.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause many of my fellow Mexicans living in the United States happened to be in Mexico when those times were unfolding\u2014you know?\u2014and that is going to evoke a lot of nostalgia for them: \u2018Mis impulsos sobre ti,\u2019 \u2018El Camino,\u2019 \u2018M\u00e1s fuerte de lo que pensaba,\u2019 \u2018Lindas criaturitas,\u2019\u201d said the singer, who also promises a retrospective of his solo songs.<\/p>\n
This marked his first-ever performance in Fresno.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a massive party because the hits just keep coming. People spend the whole time singing along\u2014some songs bring you to tears, others get you dancing\u2014it\u2019s truly incredible,\u201d said the singer.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd best of all, it\u2019s music for everyone; it contains no profanity, no foul language, and absolutely no sexual content. It\u2019s very wholesome, which encourages parents, children, and young people alike to attend\u2014at least, that\u2019s how it is in Mexico,\u201d he said. \u201cMy audience is just like Elton John\u2019s: a crowd of all ages.\u201d<\/p>\n
Known for his major hits like \u201cDuele El Amor<\/a>,\u201d with Ana Torroja \u201cIntocable<\/a>,\u201d \u201cPor Volverte a Ver<\/a>\u201d, \u201cSexo Pudor y L\u00e1grimas<\/a>\u201d, \u201cCorazones Invencibles<\/a>\u201d, \u201cTe So\u00f1\u00e9<\/a>,\u201d \u201cT\u00fa Necesitas<\/a>,\u201d and other unforgettable songs, the Mexican singer has transcended generations.<\/p>\n Syntek said he experienced a phenomenon that transformed him into one of the most popular figures of his generation among younger audiences\u2014specifically teenagers\u2014after they initially began making fun of him on TikTok. They created numerous memes based on his comments and anecdotes shared in interviews, which were sometimes taken out of context.<\/p>\n \u201cBut the thing is, after making all those jokes about me, it seemed to pique their curiosity; they started exploring my music to see why this guy is famous\u2014why their dads like him so much,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Syntek noted that whenever he goes out in public in Mexico\u2014whether for a walk or a trip to the mall\u2014 the people who most frequently ask him for autographs and photos aren\u2019t folks his own age, but rather young adults in their late teens and early twenties. This, he says, makes him very happy<\/p>\n \u201cBecause my lifelong dream has always been for my music to stand the test of time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Syntek has a message for all Latinos in the United States.<\/p>\n \u201cWe stand with you; do not give up. You are a very brave people\u2014my fellow countrymen in the United States\u2014and everything you have done on behalf of Latinos in the U.S. has been reflected throughout all of Latin America,\u201d said Syntek. \u201cWe are a culture\u2014I believe, in fact, one of the most vast, profound, and ancient cultures on our continent. So, I adore you all, I love you, and let\u2019s keep moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n Aleks Syntek is set to release his new studio album, \u201cZen,\u201d a blend of pop-rock with spiritual and tantric influences, in May 2026.<\/p>\n Aleks Syntek celebrates 35 years with an eight-state U.S. tour, enlisting Alan Parsons\u2019 musicians and making his Fresno debut at the Rainbow Ballroom on April 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Legendary producer and musician Alan Parsons came to the rescue when his friend Mexican singer-songwriter Aleks Syntek could…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":274686,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[118939,118938,112,114,113,118940,2281],"class_list":["post-274685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-alan-parsons","tag-aleks-syntek","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news","tag-latinos-in-the-united-states","tag-u-s"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274685\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Aleks](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/f155da68debe20aff321d47d5554ac2c.jpeg\"\/)
