Daddy Yankee concert chronology

The Barrio Fino World Tour was a concert tour by reggaeton singer Daddy Yankee to promote his third studio album, Barrio Fino (2004). This was his first large tour and his first arena tour in the United States becoming the first reggaeton act to do so.[1] The tour visited Latin America and United States and consisted of three legs. In December 2005, Yankee released Barrio Fino en Directo with featured videos and songs recorded live on this tour. Also, contained a DVD with footage of the tour in Colombia, Puerto Rico, Ecuador and Dominican Republic.[2]

Background

[edit]

Barrio Fino became the first reggaeton album to hit platinum in the United States and selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide in its first year of release,[3] along with the hit single "Gasolina", which is credited with introducing reggaeton to the mainstream.[4] To promote the album, Daddy Yankee in a series of promotional presentations[5] and embark in his first extensive world tour, including his first arena tour in the United States and the first reggaeton artist to do so.[3]

The tour was the first arena tour by a reggaeton act in the United States. Because of this, high expectations were created around the beginning of the tour. Augustin Gurza from Los Angeles Times wrote and article titled "Yankee is coming, and coming strong; Daddy Yankee's solo U.S. tour could help solidify commercial appeal of reggaeton". On the article he stated. "If Yankee succeeds as a solo headline attraction, he will establish the commercial appeal of the genre. Observers say Yankee's success could open doors for other artists and encourage continued collaborations with mainstream English-language hip-hop stars, a linkage seen as crucial to reggaeton's future".[6]

Overview

[edit]

The tour was, predictably, a massive success across Latin America and Spain. On December 13, 2004, Daddy Yankee Become the first music artist ever to have a concert in the Coliseo de Puerto Rico.[7] The October 16, 2005 concert in Santo Domingo was a part of the Festival Presidente de la Música Latina (2005), with record attendance, and was televised live.[8] Footage from both shows were used for his later live video/DVD release, Barrio Fino en Directo.[9]

During the United States leg, the tour was renamed to the ¿Who's your Daddy? Tour. It officially kicked-off on August 27, 2005. Ticket prices were between $45 and $100.[10] The February 17, 2006 concert in Miami, Florida was, at the time, the first and only televised reggaetón concert in the United States, and the only one on pay-per-view.[11][12] Following the success of the first portion of the tour, more dates in Latin America were added.[13]

The February 26, 2006 concert in Valparaíso, Chile was part of the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, and gave Daddy Yankee the distinction of being the first reggaetón artist to appear on the festival's stage. Daddy Yankee's performance at Viña was broadcast live, and has been widely recognized as one of the best urbano performances in the history of the festival.[14][15] He later returned to Viña for the 2009 and 2013 festivals, as headliner, as well.[16] The concert in Tegucigalpa, Honduras had an attendance of 25,000 fans, according to the local media.[17] Furthermore, around 90,000 fans attended Daddy Yankee's performance at the Evento 40 2006 Festival in Ciudad de México; his concert at the Estadio Azteca, in Zapopan, saw 13,000. According to some media, 18,000 fans attended the Costa Rican concert at Saprissa Stadium. His show in Santiago de Chile was sold out with 13,000 ticket sold.
