After ten nights and more than 640,000 attendees, according to preliminary figures, Bad Bunny emerged Monday night crowned the king of Latin music following his historic residency in Madrid, which served as the grand finale of a hedonistic party featuring more perreo than folklore, with Quevedo as the guest artist.
In total, there were twelve concerts—including the two in Barcelona—and about 100,000 more spectators, with which he has more than made up for the seven-year hiatus during which he had not performed in Spain, and has succeeded in bringing “the Latin family” together.
The controversies over ticket prices and the ticketing system—as well as the exclusionary criteria for selecting guests for his now-famous “little house”—are now a thing of the past. In the end, the desire to enjoy simple pleasures prevailed, heeding the advice of the “bad rabbit.”
“This is a show to enjoy the simple things in life: singing, laughing, dancing, and working up a sweat” and to “forget about what’s going on outside and have fun with the family,” he said to an enthusiastic and devoted audience from the very first minute.
The concert, which lasted nearly three hours, has remained virtually unchanged throughout the entire residency: a first half with a more salsa-inspired vibe on the main stage, where he performed in a suit alongside the traditional band Los Sobrinos de Puerto Rico; and a second half in the “casita,” with a more trap-inspired and rebellious vibe, dressed in a cap and sweatshirt.
“There’s a saying that the best is saved for last,” said the Puerto Rican singer shortly after taking the stage. The show kicked off with many of the hits from his latest, award-winning album, *Debí tirar más fotos*, including anthems like “Baile inolvidable” and “Nueva Yol.”
Once on the roof of the little house, as night fell, the Wanda Metropolitano turned into a massive dance floor to the beats of “Bichiyal” and “Yo perreo sola,” followed by a nod to her earliest fans with songs like “Diles” and “Mónaco.”
“Because of you, I fulfilled my dream, and I’m here so that you can fulfill yours,” he said.
Once the festival had passed the halfway point, a countdown on the screens led into the surprise artist’s performance: Quevedo had the entire stadium jumping with his famous “Quédate,” after singing “Columbia” alongside Bad Bunny—the song described as “exclusive and unique to tonight.”
The sound was a bit off, but nobody seemed to mind—nor did they seem to mind the sometimes rather long pauses between songs, which the artist used to walk among the audience, making the security staff a little nervous.
Bad Bunny made it his mission, as he does every night, to ensure that no one left without dancing the “perre,” and it’s safe to say he succeeded. “If you didn’t dance the ‘perre,’ you can’t say you were here,” he exclaimed in what has now become yet another of his catchphrases.
The night wrapped up with “Eo,” another ode to perreo performed from the main stage, where she also sang another of the night’s most enthusiastically sung-along-to songs, “DTMF,” and asked the audience to put their cell phones away for a few moments and connect with the present from the heart.
In addition to breaking an all-time record, Bad Bunny has launched a new concert concept—unprecedented in Spain—a format that Shakira will take over in September with twelve concerts.
For now, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio reigns as the king of Latin music. This recognition comes after he won three Grammys at the most recent awards ceremony, including Album of the Year for his *Debí tirar más fotos* (2025)—the first Spanish-language album to win that award.
And following her symbolic halftime performance at the last Super Bowl, she expressed her gratitude tonight for all the love she has received and once again championed reggaeton, salsa, and Puerto Rican culture to the entire world, according to Agencia EFE.
