Thousands of fans of the reggaeton and urban music star began to fill the surroundings of Rockefeller Center from Thursday night to not miss the presentation of their favorite artist, reported the portal of the Hispanic television network Telemundo.
According to the police report, at least 15,000 people registered for this presentation of the interpreter of “TQG”, “Provence”, “While I heal from the heart” and “Gatúbela”.
Karol G’s reaction was also jubilant: “Today was my debut on the Todayshow stage; a stage that music legends have stepped on and being our first time we were more than 15 thousand people breaking a new record after 24 years !!!!!!”.
He immediately asked: How do you land on this? Thank you all for so much love… All of this is as much mine as it is yours, ours! I’ll see you on the tour, well… to spend a chimba and to continue fulfilling dreams, that this life was made for that!!!
Karol reviewed that he had “almost 4 months of not getting on stage … and although time passes quickly for me it became eternal not having that moment with you. I feel full, happy and grateful for the family that we are”.
Pictures from the concert show the crowd around the stage ready to sing the songs from their latest album “Tomorrow will be beautiful”, “China” and “Momiii”.
