It was 9:45 at night when the screams of fans were heard announcing Ricky Martin's entry onto the stage. The Puerto Rican artist returned to the country after 13 years of not meeting his Peruvian audience. Ricky began his long-awaited symphonic show to the rhythm of 'Pégate'. With his sensual movements, as he has accustomed us to, he made the audience dance and lit them up shouting “Long live Lima!”

How was Ricky Martin's concert at the National Stadium?
With his hand placed at the level of his heart and raising a fist as a sign of gratitude and achievement, the Puerto Rican continued with his song 'Volverás', supported by his fans. At the end he confessed to the audience that he felt “more alive than ever” and was happy to start his first show of the year 2024 in our country.
“Thank you very much, Lima, how are you today, it's a magical night, I know it, I feel it, I'm sorry for your looks, for your smiles, because I already feel your energy and what, two? Three songs? What a wonderful way to start the year. This is our first concert in 2024, this is for the books, I come more alive than ever, I come with a spiritual force that I feel will vibrate with me tonight… Delighted to be here with Peruvian talent on this very important stage, exchanging ideas, sharing and growing as artists; That is the most important thing and now I give you what I am, this is my music, this is my story, I love you Peru”he exclaimed.
Then came 'Thank you for thinking of me', 'The Bomb' and 'With Your Name'. With 'La Bomba', the artist warmed up and came out with a black bivid to make those attending the venue move their hips and shoulders. The Puerto Rican danced from start to finish, demonstrating, as he said at the beginning of the show, the energies with which he has been recharged for 2024.
They followed 'Fire at night, snow by day', 'Shot at the heart', 'Flight', 'You are the love of my life' and 'I miss you', his most popular and well-known songs from his album releases. The public exploded. They did not stop applauding and singing encouraged by the Puerto Rican, who returned to the stage with another costume, dressed this time in a brown piece. Men and women with screams and broken voices finished the songs and 'The King of Latin Pop' did nothing but return their applause. He was happy; He was jumping, clapping, shouting, raising his fists, his vibe was on point. Everything connected. He recalled that there were still several songs left to sing: “Thank you very much, what beautiful memories… We are halfway through the story, there is still much more to go.”
After singing 'Asignatura pending' composed by Ricardo Arjona, the artist, already dressed in a wide white shirt, which allowed him to show the various movements that he had prepared for his audience, continued with 'Vuelve', 'Lola Lola' and 'Livin' la crazy life'. The Puerto Rican came determined to please his fans with his symphonic proposal, on a night in which a good staging, musical quality, play of lights, among other elements that left the public happy, were present.
For the end, Ricky Martin left his most danced songs. 'María', 'La mordidita', 'La copa de la vida' and 'Vente pa' ca'. The venue became a feast guided by his energy and spiritual strength that he indicated he brought for this year. At the end of the show he asked for a loud applause for his musicians and the orchestra of 60 artists, Peruvian talents, who accompanied him on the night: “May it be repeated many times, it is the first of many, I hope.”

“I'm going addicted”
“I'm leaving addicted, I'm leaving, but I'll be back and I hope very soon. You are magic, don't stop smiling, you are doing the world a favor, thank you, Lima, thank you… The best way to start the year, I swear… This wonderful audience, I love you, I love you, I am yours, Lima, I am yours, I love you very much, until next time, bye, bye”, said.
Ricky Martin said goodbye and the lights went out, but this story was not over yet. He knew that he couldn't leave without singing two of his songs that were very popular in our country at the time and loved by his fans. 'Perhaps' and 'Your memory' came to close with a flourish his return to our country after 13 years of his last visit. Those who were leaving returned, the cell phones started recording again, the couples held hands again and the loners sang loudly along with their artist. Ricky kept making gestures of gratitude and repeating: “I feel alive.”
“Other”, “Churro”, “I love you”, “Come back soon”, “Don't go”, etc. Between screams, Ricky definitively left the stage of the National Stadium after an hour and a half of presentation. The audience left happy, outdoors there were those who said that they missed playing some songs, but overall they said they left happy, excited and grateful, without first reminding Ricky Martin to keep his promise of his soon return.

The Spanish Danni Ubeda was the opening act of the night, who quickly won the affection of the public by paying tribute to Pedro Suárez-Vértiz and singing his song 'Me elevé'. The public accompanied him with the lights on. “He is up here, he wanted him to see us, listen to us and feel… That he sees us from heaven,” he said.
