The show marked Maluma’s return to Paris since his last concert three years ago in 2019 (His 2020 show was cancelled due to the pandemic).
” I am very excited to be able to come back to Europe with my live concerts and with this tour that has been prepared with love and dedication for all of you, my fans. Merci Paris, I will never forget this night,” Maluma expressed.
The magical show was full surprises. He performed on a stunning 360º stage accompanied by gigantic screens, state of the art lights, special effects and pyro, his live band and 10 dancers.

He also performed his most recent singles “Cositas de la USA” and “Mamá Tetema” with Rayvanny, who was one of his special guests, as well as Maitre Gims with whom he sang “Hola Señorita” for the very first time together live on stage, generating massive euphoria among the Parisian audience who enjoyed every second of the magnificent concert.
