Enrique brings Latin flavour to Colombo, calls Sri Lanka "unbelievable"

Despite a bit of a delayed start, Latin hearthrob Enrique Iglesias burst on to stage with his famed upbeat track "Im A Freak" to an eager crowd who'd been patiently waiting for his arrival.

Once on stage he charmed the audience with his charismatic presence literally drawing throngs of hands towards him hoping to brush past their idol, so much so that barriers were dislodged by fans in their  enthusiastic attempts to get up close and personal with the King of Latin Pop. From fans who jumped on stage to embrace Iglesias to homemade painted signs to attract his attention, it was an enthusiasm such as been rarely witnessed before at a show of this nature.

 While acknowledging his late arrival he won over the  hearts of his followers with a simple thank you for waiting - Bohoma Isthuthi.

Iglesias sang a repertoire of his popular songs including his special "Hero" song to the audience who sang every line back to him with equal delight.

The Latin star who is currently on tour for his 10 th album Sex and Love, left the island for an already sold out show in Tel Aviv. The crowds response, was what Enrique called "unbeliavble" on his official Instagram account. Adding that the country had given him a million more reasons to return.
