.maluma's star-studded concert in Colombia included appearances by Madonna, Feid and others.
Fans had been waiting for this highly-anticipated show, billed as Medallo en el Mapa , since it was announced in November. But Maluma told the audience he had been waiting for this night since he began his career 11 years ago. Atanasio Girardot is the biggest venue in Medellin, and selling out the soccer stadium is a feat only the top artists have accomplished.
“Thank you for making my dream a reality,” said Maluma, who sported a pink jacket and pants that matched his bleached pink hair with a red heart shaved into it. “More than anything, it’s very important for me that my hometown loves me. If my hometown loves me, I could care less if everyone else loves me.”
Maluma had said in the weeks leading up to the concert — which aired live on Amazon Prime and Amazon Music’s Twitch channel — that he wanted the show to be a celebration of Medellin. And Papi Juancho backed it up, delivering a three-hour love letter to Medallo from one of its favorite sons.Welcome to Medellin
The intro video that opened the concert around 10 p.m. set the tone for the show with its parade of celebs talking about Medellin. Late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon kicked things off by saying “Medellin es alegria,” followed by Shakira, who said, “Medellin es cultura.” Also among the celebs who took part in the video were J Balvin and Jennifer Lopez., who performed a pair of songs with Maluma, including their latest single, “Mojando Asientos.
