Maluma expressed how excited he was to perform on the Atenasio Girardot stadium, housing about 50,000 people, a feat that took him 11 years and that now he considered the most important event of his career. “This is my greatest dream. I missed you so much, Medellin. It’s incredible that I had to wait 11 years into my career to step foot in the Atenasio Girardot, but God knows why he does the things he does,” he said. “I was born in Medellin and I’ll die in Medellin.”

Maluma’s concert was available to stream yesterday on Prime Video and Twitch, catering his experience to people all over the world. “I’m so excited to bring the most important concert of my career to my fans all over the world,” he wrote on Instagram.

Maluma and Madonna have several collaborations together, having performed on music videos and on live events in the past. In 2021, they interviewed each other on Rolling Stone’s Musicians on Musicians issue, where they discussed the possibility of attending each other’s concerts. “Watch out, I’m going to come see your show! It better be good,” Madonna said. Then, calling out to the camera and crew, Maluma said, “Yo, guys, she said that, right? She said she’s coming to my shows!”
