A Nicky Jam concert at the Movistar Arena brings one of reggaeton's best-known voices to a Madrid stage, with a catalogue that runs from the genre's early years in Puerto Rico to its international breakthrough. Travesuras, El Perdón and Hasta el amanecer sit among his best-known songs, and the concert is billed as a walk through the different stages of his career.
What it is
Nicky Jam started out young, in the years when reggaeton was still defining its sound. At the turn of the 2000s he formed Los Cangris with Daddy Yankee, a partnership that belongs to the genre's early story on the Puerto Rican urban scene. His solo career took off with Voy a Beber and Travesuras, and El Perdón, recorded with Enrique Iglesias, took him to international audiences.
Hasta el amanecer, El amante, X with J Balvin and Te Robaré with Ozuna followed, along with Fénix (2017), the album that put him back at the front of the international scene. Later projects such as Íntimo, Infinity and Insomnio lean into reggaeton, Latin pop and R&B. The Madrid show, promoted by AP Live, is billed as a run through those stages, from the songs of reggaeton's first years to his global hits.
Why it's worth going
The repertoire covers a career that began in the late 1990s, so the show suits fans who followed reggaeton from its early years as well as listeners who came in through the hits of the 2010s. Several of those hits are collaborations, with Enrique Iglesias, J Balvin and Ozuna, which means the catalogue stretches beyond a single sound, from reggaeton to Latin pop and R&B. As a standalone indoor concert, the whole evening belongs to one artist.
