Bad Bunny, more than three hours behind the time he promised to start the first of his two presentations in San Juan on Friday, offered his first concert since the pandemic began, turning the Hiram Bithorn stadium into a nightclub.
The show, which featured a dozen guest artists, including J Balvin, Sech and Romeo Santos, started at 11:45 p.m. (03:45 GMT) on Friday, almost four hours after what Bad Bunny himself had announced on Thursday in the night.
The delay was due to the fact that the production committed itself, according to a statement prior to the start of the show, to comply with the security protocols related to covid-19 in verifying that all people had their vaccination card with them.
The show began with an introductory video narrated by Puerto Rican actor Benicio Del Toro, highlighting the bravery and gallantry of Puerto Ricans, while also introducing other Puerto Rican artists, athletes, actors, and political figures who have stood out in the world.
After that, Bad Bunny appeared dressed completely in black, causing the uproar of the more than 35,000 people who gathered in the stadium to interpret "The world is mine".
However, he stopped his performance to apologize to his followers for the delay in starting the show, which was broadcast live at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, in San Juan, also packed with thousands of people.
"Before starting the show I want to tell you that you are the best fans. Thanks for the patience and demeanor that this show was given"said the protagonist of the night to then sing "25-8", "Booker T" Y "You moved".
"I am a little nervous, because this is my first concert after two years and it is not just any concert. This is P FKN R, damn", expressed Benito Antonio MartÃnez Ocasio, first name of the also actor and fighter.
Dozens of people arrived at the stadium at 06.00 (10.00 GMT) -local time- on Friday morning to get as close to the stage as possible, thus waiting more than 17 hours to enjoy the presentation.
"I know there are a lot of people here from early on waiting. We are living a totally different way of life, a totally new way of life. This is new to us, but we have been able to get it in order. I hope you enjoy", continued the artist to then sing "I live like this".
Bad Bunny, accompanied by a band of three musicians, continued the show, the first of two for which the production invested more than 10 million dollars, with "Damn poverty", whose subject at the end said that "here in Puerto Rico success costs three times more than normal".
The 27-year-old artist introduced themes of a love nature, such as "Making you love me", "I wish you the best", "Sorry daddy" with Abra and "120".
Bad Bunny stopped the presentation when he noticed that one of the lights in the upper part of the stage began to light on fire, although the accident was later repaired. After that, he addressed the public to ensure that in his concert "no bad things will happen".
"I am on the stage. Obviously going to catch on fire, damn", stoked the artist, to continue the evening interpreting "Blessings", "How does it feel" with his colleague and compatriot Jhay Cortez, who remained on the stage to sing "Don’t know me" Y "Dakiti".
After the participation of Jhay Cortez, it was the turn of the Colombian J Balvin to accompany Bad Bunny to the stage to sing along with the also Puerto Rican Nio GarcÃa the "remix" (remix) of "A.M".
Bad Bunny followed with "If i see your mom", "The hard" Y "Bichiyal", on whose subject he assured that "We are in the capital of perreo, Puerto Rico, damn", and then sing "go away" Y "At your mercy", and then give the opportunity to the Panamanian Sech to interpret with the protagonist of the night "Ignorant".
Then, the also Puerto Rican Mora arrived at the box to interpret with Bad Bunny "One time" Y "We talk tomorrow" with the Argentine Duki.
Bad Bunny thanked Puerto Rico "for all the affection and all the love" that has given him in his career, and then sing "Thanks", subject that ended up crying with emotion.
He continued the concert singing on the roof of a truck "It sucks to be me" and then "Post Pa ‘Guerrial" Y "Bandit" with Myke Towers, followed by "Yonaguni", "Callaita" Y "I came back for you" with Romeo Santos.
