MIAMI. - The Kaseya Center in Miami became the epicenter of reggaeton last night as Don Omar, a titan in the reggaeton music scene, closed down the first leg of his widely successful "Back to Reggaeton Tour."
William Omar Leandro Rivera, the artists real name, was happy. He spoke often during his almost two hours in front of the audience, which filled every last one of the 20,000 seats in the arena. Flags from many Latin American countries waved in the hands of euphoric fans, while the artist took the time to mention each one of them.
Don Omar's Miami show was a celebration of his career, reggaeton, and Latin American unity.
Don Omar stance against racism
The Puerto Rican artist entered the arena in his now-well-known throne. Clad in a black coat with red embellishment, he drove the public wild with songs like 'Dale Don Dale,' 'Ronca,' 'Baila Morena,' and 'Amor de colegio'. The mood was high and the crown was excited.
However, Don Omar took a moment to condemn racism just before he sang 'Reggaeton Latino'.
"There are people in this country who feel better than others based on their flags. That is terrible," he said. "This is very wrong, particularly among Latinos. We are all brothers, you hear me. We are brothers."
