Conjunto Primavera concerts lit with Chauvet

A lighting and video design by Arturo Sanchez Jr., featuring 156 Chauvet Professional fixtures supplied by Proled, reflect the spirit of Mexican norteño-sax band Conjunto Primavera on their current “47th Anniversary Tour”.

The band’s massive show at the Auditorio Telmex in Zapopan, Mexico, on June 28, 2025, featured a 30-meter wide video wall, which was divided into three sections - a larger center, flanked by two sides. Video panels also lined the 14-meter band riser and 5-meter percussion riser. Each song in the concert had its own dedicated video content.

The vision unleashed on the video wall was matched by the dynamic lighting displays that transformed the 20-meter wide stage with richly saturated washes, sweeping beams and aerial effects. “I designed the lighting and video and carefully coordinated both”, says Sanchez. “Not only were they matched in terms of colors, but we also made the intensity and movement of the light fit the video images.”

Key to tying lighting and video together were the rig’s thirty Colorado Pixel Curve battens, which were used at various times to frame video walls and the risers, engendering a uniform look throughout the stage. The rig’s forty-six Maverick Storm2 BeamWashes, and fifty Maverick Storm 1 Hybrids were also instrumental in creating the intense, dramatic looks that ran throughout the production.

“The Storm fixtures were placed inside and outside the stage floor”, says Sanchez. “We used the Storm 1 units to give texture to the stage - most of the time they were used as a spot. The Storm 2s did great as a wash and eye candy effect.” Sanchez also used thirty Color Strike M fixtures to generate strobing effects. The rapid-fire strobes accented pivotal moments in the show, breaking through the stage with intensity.

Sanchez worked alongside production manager Arturo Sanchez, front-of-house engineer Luis Vega, monitor engineers Omar Cano, Rf. Luis and Fernando Marin, drum tech Felipe Avila, and stage hands Fofo Olivares and Luis Perez.
