The Puerto Rican artist reviewed over twenty years of hits before a packed Estadio de La Cartuja, in an evening that began with Greeicy and Farruko.
The Estadio de La Cartuja experienced one of the most crowded nights in its recent history this Saturday. Don Omar, the king of reggaeton, gathered thousands of people who sold out all the tickets to see him revisit his greatest hits. The concert, which started at 10:00 PM, became a journey through more than two decades of music that have marked several generations.
The evening began with a performance by Colombian Greeicy, who set the bar very high with her stage presence. Following her, Farruko took over and maintained the audience's energy with songs like 'Pepas' and 'Baila morena'. But the main event arrived after midnight when Don Omar appeared on stage to leave no one indifferent.
The artist opened with 'Dale Don Dale', one of his most emblematic tracks, and from the first chord, the audience sang along to every word. The connection with the Sevillian audience was immediate, and Don Omar didn't hesitate to joke:
“What an honour to be here. Wow. When you get tired, just let me know and we’ll leave.”The response was an ovation that echoed throughout the venue.
A Journey Through Two Decades of Hits
The concert was not just a simple recital of songs, but a journey through time. Don Omar performed tracks from all stages of his career, from the beginnings with 'Pobre diabla' to the more recent 'Virtual diva'. One of the most emotional moments came before 'Pobre diabla', when he recalled the first time he sang it in Spain:
“The first time I sang this song on Spanish soil was twenty years ago, with fewer people. If Sevilla supports me, we’ll make this historic today.”And so it was. The audience was fully engaged, and the stadium became a massive dance floor.
The repertoire also included 'Mayor que yo', 'Baila morena', 'Salió el sol', and 'Belly danza', among others. The combination of rhythms and the staging made the night unforgettable for the attendees, who did not stop jumping and singing during the more than two hours of the concert.
A Message of Latin Unity
Don Omar also wanted to send a message during his performance. At one point in the night, he addressed the different Latin American communities present in the audience:
“My brothers in Venezuela are Venezuelans, my brothers from Cuba are Cubans, but here in Spain, we are all Latinos.”The artist championed diversity and shared identity, and called for an ovation for those who felt proud to be Latino. The gesture was met with a great ovation and flags from various countries waving among the crowd.
The message of unity resonated deeply among the attendees, who experienced the night as a celebration of Latin music and culture in the heart of Sevilla. The Andalusian capital became, for a few hours, the epicentre of global reggaeton, with an enthusiastic audience demonstrating that this genre knows no borders.
Closure with Fireworks and 'Bandoleros'
The final segment of the concert was spectacular. Don Omar performed 'Conteo', 'Taboo', and 'Hasta que salga el sol', before reaching one of the most anticipated moments: 'Danza Kuduro'. The song, which has become a global anthem, was sung by the entire stadium in unison. But the grand finale came with 'Bandoleros', which closed the night with a fireworks display that lit up the Sevilla sky.
Before saying goodbye, the artist wanted to thank his supporters:
“My name is William Omar, and today I am Don Omar thanks to all of you.”A statement that summarised the special connection he experienced with the Sevillian audience. Saturday night will be remembered by attendees as one of the major musical events of the year in the city.
For those who missed it, there is no consolation: tickets sold out weeks in advance. Sevilla once again proved to be a stronghold for Latin music, and Don Omar took away an unforgettable memory from his time in the capital of Seville. Will he return? If the audience asks for it, surely he will.
