In Oviedo, the members Raquel del Rosario, David Feito, and Juan Suárez revisited the inaugural tour of El Sueño de Morfeo from 2005, reuniting with longtime fans in a moment charged with emotion and energy. The reunion at the Principe Felipe Auditorium captured the essence of a band that had formed a strong, enduring bond with its audience from the very first show, with Del Rosario praising the sense of family that defined their early days. Feito echoed the emotional arc of their journey, calling the experience an unforgettable trip, while Suárez, who had stepped back from the stage due to illness, stepped out briefly to greet fans and hope for more reunions in the future [citation].
What followed went beyond a simple concert. The Oviedo gathering served as a farewell to a chapter nine years after the trio paused their personal and professional paths. The event also stood as a charitable effort titled The Great Solidarity Struggle, promoted by Prensa Ibérica and Endesa Music Lover, with proceeds directed to assist those affected by the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma [citation].
With a production crafted in collaboration with Caja Rural de Asturias, Fuensanta, and Turismo del Principado, the performance drew fans from across Spain, from Valencia to Burgos and from the Canary Islands to Piedras Blancas. Support from municipal and regional bodies, including Oviedo City Council and Gijón City Council, helped bring the show to life alongside partners Wanacars and Riverland, all contributing to an atmosphere that felt intimate yet expansive. The band’s return was greeted with an almost immediate encore during the fourth song, and the audience’s excitement kept building as Raquel del Rosario connected with the crowd, sharing jokes and guiding the moment with a sense of gratitude [citation].
One of the standout moments featured a semi-acoustic arrangement of a song from the second album, where the characteristic blend of whistles and violin joined the warmth of Del Rosario’s voice. Other familiar pieces made appearances, including numbers that had helped the group become a staple on television and radio, and the performance included instrumental textures from guitar, violin, and occasional bagpipes. The overall effect showcased the group’s ability to reinvent their sound while honoring the classics that longtime fans cherished [citation].
Suárez’s debut on stage that night brought a new sense of connection, marked by the intimate hug and Del Rosario’s playful nod to the band’s past. A popular track, Forever, was even dedicated to new fans who had become part of the Morpheus story through weddings and celebrations, highlighting the way the band’s music had woven itself into the fabric of people’s lives. The setlist also revisited Gente and I’m tired of waiting, while the violin and electric guitar interplays underscored Del Rosario’s energetic and at times vulnerable vocal delivery. The trio’s repertoire included collaborations and duets that had previously brought attention on television, bridging eras and audiences alike [citation].
Traditional elements like bagpipes and other folk-inflected arrangements added a festive texture, signaling a hopeful message that the best was ahead. Del Rosario’s joy at witnessing the audience’s smiles reinforced the sense of shared happiness after several challenging years, making the night feel like a celebration of resilience and community [citation].
The evening’s acoustic set followed the premiere of Never Will Return with guest Noan, and a collective moment around You Until The End, where fans and musicians stood united in a spirit of sincerity and excitement. The performance also honored early supporters and longtime friends who had followed the group since its earliest concerts, some of whom were now parents, underscoring how Morfeo’s music had become part of family histories and traditions over the years. Del Rosario joked about weaving love stories into the live experience, a reminder of the band’s enduring connection to its audience [citation].
The concert’s momentum carried through to the closing numbers, including This Is Me, Ojos de Cielo, and Never Will Come Back, as the audience sang along and clapped for extended periods, creating a vivid sense of a large, joyful family reunion. The performance thus offered more than nostalgia; it stood as a testament to a community formed around shared music, memory, and mutual support during a time of global challenges and local recovery [citation].
