Enrique Iglesias praises Latin music fans as he launches tour with Ricky Martin: 'We love our roots'
When Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin stepped on stage at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, it marked a monumental meshing of rhythm and charisma.
The two Latin music powerhouses, along with Colombian singer
Sebastián Yatra, will crisscross the country through November on an arena tour
celebrating their heritage and showcasing the roughly gazillion hits in their
respective catalogs (between them, they’ve sold more than 250 million albums
worldwide).
Iglesias, 46, and Martin, 49, have known each other since
the mid-’90s, but their professional fusions have been few. The pair recognized
the historic musical marriage during a press conference to announce the tour in
2020 - before it was COVID-19-postponed – and have also discussed collaborating
on a song.
But first is new work from Iglesias. His 11th album, “Final
Vol. 1,” was released Sept. 17 and is his first since 2014’s “Sex and Love.”
The new work includes the hit “Me Pasé,” featuring Farruko, and new single,
“Pendejo.” Iglesias also tapped Bad Bunny, Pitbull, Wisin and other guests to
share the 11 tracks. But the album name is what has piqued fans’ curiosity
