Escuchar a

Is “escuchar a” only used when you are listening to a person (i.e. the personal ‘a’)?
Tenemos que escuchar a Juan.

Would this make the use of ‘a’ as a preposition incorrect in the sentence below?

“Después de un concierto allí, salió de fiesta a una discoteca y escuchó por primera vez a la canción.”

I always thought the preposition ‘to’ in ‘to listen to’ (the second ‘to’ here) was already built into the verb ‘escuchar’.


Many thanks in advance.
