J Balvin’s Arcoiris (Rainbow) tour finally made its way to Miami’s American Airlines Arena on Saturday (Sept. 14), and fans couldn’t have been more excited for the amazing show he offered.
After opening acts Lyanno and Eladio Carrión, Balvin appeared on stage to perform “Reggaeton” followed by “Machika,” “Con Altura,” “Ahora” and “X”. Then, he paused.
“Here you have Jose, not J Balvin,” the artist said. “A person who is equal to you too. Welcome to Arcoiris, a happy world. A world full of peace, even for two hours of show, because just like you I also have my problems. I have my ups and downs, and I don’t care because I keep fighting every day.”
For the show, Balvin made changes to the logistics, such as including a second stage and having a rainbow in the middle of the arena.
His repertoire also included songs like “Ginza,” “Say My Name,” “No Es Justo,” “I like it,” “Si Tu Novio Te Deja Sola,” along with music from Oasis, his collab album with Bad Bunny, which came out months after his appearance in Coachella in April.
