Venezuelan singer Joaquina sang on the night of July 5 with renowned maestro Andrea Bocelli at the BST Festival in Hyde Park, London, United Kingdom.

“Dear maestro @andreabocelliofficial, I have tried to find the right way to thank you for this opportunity but I think I will never find the right words,” the singer expressed on her Instagram account with a video of the performance on stage.

Joaquina said she was living a dream from which she did not want to wake up, and that when she thought regarding it once more she might not help but cry.

“Thank you for inviting me to sing this immense and spectacular song with you, thank you to your family and your team for welcoming me with such love—thank you for teaching me so much in such a short time. I will carry this with me forever. I never, ever dared to dream of having such an opportunity,” she continued in the message.

The outstanding young woman with Barquisimeto roots commented that it has been an honour that maestro Bocelli has invited her to celebrate her 30 years of artistic career.

Andrea Bocelli: Inspiration for young people like Joaquina

The Italian tenor who has captivated the world with his voice began his musical career playing in bars and participating in local singing competitions. His big break came in 1992 when he signed his first recording contract with Sugar Music. Since then, Bocelli has recorded 15 solo studio albums, both pop and classical music, and nine full-length operas, selling more than 75 million records worldwide.

His album “Romanza” is one of the best-selling albums of all time, and “Sacred Arias” is the best-selling classical album by a solo artist in history.

Bocelli has achieved unprecedented success as a crossover artist, taking classical music to the top of the international pop charts. His song “Con te partirò,” from his second album, is one of the best-selling singles of all time. He has also collaborated with artists such as Celine Dion and Sarah Brightman, and has been recognized with numerous awards and honors, including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a Gold Medal of Merit in Serbia.

His voice has been described by Celine Dion as what the voice of God would sound like, and producer David Foster has called it the most beautiful voice in the world.
