Marco Antonio Solis Toyota Center, August 10

Duality is part of the mystique that surrounds Mexican crooner and composer Marco Antonio Solis, whose resonant voice can extract a few tears from even the most macho of hombres. He is at the same time rugged and refined, soft-spoken and operatic, and romantic with just a touch of deviousness, skills that have allowed the former lead singer of Latin-pop powerhouse Los Bukis to sell more than 20 million records throughout his 35-year career, including 2013's Gracias Por Estar Aqui ("Thanks For Being Here"). With each one, Solis delivers songs of love and heartbreak, gazing deep into his soul to provide the emotional fuel that kindles the lustful flames of amor. MARCO TORRES
