Amazon Music is turning Puerto Rico into its newest live music stage and launched the island's first edition of Amazon Music City Sessions with Yandel, the hometown reggaetón pioneer whose career now stretches from urbano's club roots to orchestral reinvention.
The spectacular livestreamed performance, to which this reporter was invited, took place in San Juan, was scheduled for May 5, and marked the first time the City Sessions franchise expanded to Puerto Rico. The one-time-only show was available globally through the Amazon Music app, Prime Video, and Twitch, and it was part concert, part cultural showcase, and part broader investment in Puerto Rican artists, businesses, and education.
