From El Tiempo, November 2, 2024 (auto-translated from Spanish):
Last night, November 1, 2024, the turn to meet the great British artist octogenarian was for Bogotá, his next stop after Lima. It was a night of almost three hours of concert, as part of the tour ‘Got Back’, in which with his band, in addition to a line of winds, he performed 37 songs by the Beatles, Wings and his solo history.
It was his return, after his first presentation in the Colombian capital 12 years earlier, and although he retained a great resemblance to the list of songs he performed on that occasion, the public lived it as a unique date.
The former Beatle jumped to the stage at 9:30 p.m. in front of an audience that looked like a tide full of fans (entrepreneurs told this media that there were more than 32,000 people), but just an hour earlier it was still possible to see many empty spaces in the stadium, which generated uncertainty among the attendees, as it is well known that McCartney demands that his concerts be at home full. The ghost of two years before he thwarted a concert of his in Medellín but the businessmen canceled weeks before.
In addition, the atmosphere during the last week before this concert in Bogotá was framed by local readjustments and price changes to try to summon more audiences, which is a contrast in a year in which El Campín has had complete capacity for artists who, however important, are undoubtedly less legendary than one of the founders of the Beatles.
Anyway, McCartney was in charge of dispeling any doubts when, through Whatsapp chains, the images of his sound tests began to circulate in the stadium, in the afternoon. We had a former Beatle back in the capital.
Party that had been coming from days before, with fans celebrating at the doors of the hotel where he stayed from Wednesday. There he was taken serenade children and adults. […]

For me it is an honor to have created this mural for Paul McCartney’s concert in Colombia, a legend that reminds me of my father and his music. Inspired by Paul’s ‘Magic Piano’ design, this mural is a tribute to the Beatles’ psychedelic era and their impact on culture. In 1967, Paul commissioned a group of artists known as BEV to paint his piano, where he composed classics like ‘Getting Better’ and ‘Fixing a Hole, a unique fusion of art and music that defined an era.
Thanks to Lorenzo for the trust and to @paramopresenta, to @lak_rodriguez for your assistance in the whole mural. Thanks to the psychedelic lyrics created with the magic of @jimenezlettering
From El Tiempo, November 3, 2024:
A dream. An artist starred in a special moment that, surely, she will never forget. Known as Elar Rincón, the muralist exposed her talent and immortalized the mythical Paul McCartney in a mural.
On the night of November 1, the artist surprised with a three-hour presentation at the El Campín stadium in Bogotá. His passage through the capital left several moments emotional for his fans.
Faced with her legacy and years of career, an artist paid a heartfelt tribute to the British. The powerful painting was portrayed by Elar Rincón, who took 67th Street in Bogota to leave Paul McCartney portrayed. The piece manages to stand out for its imposing colors: a mixture between reds and oranges, warm colors. In addition, an image of the composer in his youth and, on the other hand, his current portrait that is accompanied by a magical piano. […]
Through social networks, the young woman shared the experience she described as “absurd” and “surreach” when she met the musician. She reported that she had a date with the former Beatles photographer, but when she arrived at the meeting time she saw something that left her stunned: Paul McCartney, who posed at the front of the mural in a black suit.
Elar Rincón showed small fragments of the encounter, as it was not allowed to record. She even revealed that she had the honor of talking to the singer, who expressed admiration for the work and was delighted with her pet, who accompanied her that day.
“It’s beautiful that it took the time to contemplate the mural and talk to me,” she shared, in a photo uploaded to his stories. Added to this, she wrote: “This seems surreal to me. Thank you, Paul, I’ll always take you in my heart forever.”
