Ricardo Arjona, a legend in romantic music, is always finding new ways to connect with fans. At 61 years old, the Guatemalan singer just announced the biggest tour of his career. It’s called “Residencia Guatemala.”
This new type of show might take a cue from Bad Bunny. The Puerto Rican star held a series of concerts at “El Choli.” That residency allowed him to get up close with his audience. It also paid tribute to his home country.
While Bad Bunny chose a venue tied to his personal history, Arjona picked a more formal setting. He will perform 15 shows at the National Theater Miguel Ángel Asturias in Guatemala City. The concerts begin on October 31, 2025.
Tickets Are Hot, Sales Points Overwhelmed
Tickets for “Residencia Guatemala” go on sale July 22. They will be available through ETicket. Even before sales started, some ticket outlets were already swamped. People are clearly eager to get their hands on seats.
These residency concerts mark a big return for Arjona to his home country. Guatemala is where he grew up and became a beloved balladeer. His career spans from his first album, “Déjame decir que te amo,” released in 1986, to his recent album “SECO.” His daughter, Adria Arjona, also plays a part in his latest work.
“Residencia Guatemala” wraps up on November 23. This special event also kicks off a larger world tour. Arjona plans to take his music to fans around the globe, starting right from his home country. On top of that, the “Acompáñame a estar solo” singer shared news about a new album. It’s called “Lo que el seco no dijo.” This new project continues the story from his last record. This is a rare move for Arjona. It’s the first time he’s released two brand-new projects in the same year.
The Rise of the Music Residency
This “residency” format is becoming popular in the music world. It breaks from traditional concerts. Artists can connect with their audience in a more personal and direct way. Bad Bunny and Ricardo Arjona are now leading this trend.
It’s worth remembering that Luis Miguel offered similar events years ago. Long before the term “residency” was common, the iconic singer performed many shows in one spot. In 1994, he had 17 concerts at Mexico’s National Auditorium. This kicked off his “Segundo Romance Tour.” He did it again in 2002. For his “Mis Romances Tour,” he held 12 sold-out shows at the same auditorium.
