This Sunday an event happened that a reggaeton fan never expects, because it was precisely Daddy Yankee, one of the pioneers of the urban genre, who put a large part of the world to dance to these sounds of the island of Puerto Rico, especially the well-known dembow, one of those who were first created.
Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, the artist's first name, officially announced his retirement from music after 32 years of career. The world of urban music came to a standstill at his statements, and although his message was full of emotion and nostalgia, the expectation also took hold of his fans, as he announced that he will release his latest album and, later, will give a concert tour called 'La ultima vuelta', which covers several countries in the continent, including Colombia.
Yes, the 'Big Boss' will land in the country and nothing less than in four different cities, and October will be the month when hundreds of thousands of Colombians will sing the best of the Puerto Rican repertoire; so from now on their followers can be scheduled for each of their performances. It is worth noting that Colombia is, together with Mexico, the only country where he will sing in four different cities.
The cities in Colombia where Daddy Yankee will be presented
Before arriving in the country, the 'Cangry' will have a double concert in Ecuador: Guayaquil and Quito (October 4 and 5 respectively) will be the epicenters of those performances. Later, he will land in Cali to sing on Friday, October 7. A day later, he will arrive in Bogotá and then, he will pause to reach his next destination, Barranquilla, on the 14th of the same month.

The message that the Puerto Rican delivered at the time of announcing his retirement
“This race, which was a marathon, I finally see the goal. Now I'm going to enjoy all of you and everything you've given me (...) Formally today I announce my retirement from music, giving them my best production, my best concert tour,” the artist first mentioned through a video posted on his Instagram profile.
He then went on to say that, “In this genre, people say that I made it global, but it was you who opened the key for me to open the doors to make this genre the greatest in the world.” He also mentioned several parts that give an account of the reality in which dozens of children who want to be artists grow up, with very few who achieve this dream.
“In the neighborhoods, where we grew up, most of us wanted to be drug traffickers. Today, I go down to the neighborhoods and villages (public residential), and most want to be singers. That is worth a lot to me,” said the artist.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that classics such as' Break ', 'She lifted me', 'I go out on the street',' Impact 'and others will be able to play in each of the presentations that' Cangry 'will have in Colombia.
