To those of us not lucky enough to attend a David Bisbal concert, Yabla brings an excellent alternative: a backstage tour by David Bisbal himself. Fans, this is as good as it gets!

Rotten tomatoes are the last thing young David Bisbal needs to worry about: what his loyal audience throws onto the stage is of a much different nature. Beware of those extra large bras!

We know how much work David Bisbal, his musicians, and his crew have put into this tour. But hard work doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun. They find ways to keep the laughter going on the stage itself.

David Bisbal knows there can be more to being a star than filling stadiums and getting underwear thrown at him: He is a spokesman for child soldiers. That is to say, he raises awareness and money to try to end the use of minors in wars. In this segment, we see him take this commitment to the stage.

There is no better way to finish a great concert that with a great song, and David Bisbal has left some surprises for the very end.
