Sting

On December 11, 1987, Sting performed 'Englishman in New York' at Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires, highlighting a vibrant chapter in his solo career. By this time, he had already released his debut solo album, 'The Dream of the Blue Turtles,' in 1985, which marked a significant shift from his time with The Police. His second solo album, '...Nothing Like the Sun,' was just around the corner, set to drop in 1987, reflecting his growing artistic evolution. The live performance captured a blend of jazz and rock influences, showcasing his unique style. Interestingly, the song not only resonated with his experiences of living in New York City but also spoke to the feelings of alienation and cultural clash that many can relate to — a theme that's timeless and universal. This concert exemplified both his burgeoning solo success and his ability to connect deeply with audiences, making it a memorable highlight in his career.
