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
