J Balvin half-stopped a show between giant balloons, cloud dancers, and pounding reggaetons to settle Saturday's crowd at Sugar Land's Smart Financial Center.

"There is tomorrow, there is light, there is hope," he said in Spanish.

"I worked illegally painting and roofing the house. Now I dream." "And the houses I drew painted very badly."

His merchant was equally gorgeous Continuous collaboration With guessing brand. Balvin himself appeared under the stage as the first pair of rainbow pants among several stage costumes.

His stage was a dream of frenzy, childhood fantasy, and partnership with pop art collaboration. You and friends. It looked like Hello Kitty's cooler cousin and was fixed by a giant balloon sitting on a series of grandstand stairs. Balvin joined the kickoff song "Reggaeton" by dancers, which can only be described as marshmallow cloud people. Later, they dressed as legions Rainbow Brits.
The wacky atmosphere was the signature of Balvin, the performer who overturned the rules of Latin urban music. It made him along with Bad Bunny and Maluma, the leaders of the new reggaeton.
Balvin's setlist played more than 20 songs, several of which were performed in short, fast series. "Machika" led to "Con Altura" and later "X" pp with "Ginza" and "Safari". And he confidently handled pairings with Maluma, Karol G, and Ozna.
Mixed crowd of couples family stepped on and sang along with all the songs. Rainbow and neon colors of several brands.
Balvin paid tribute to reggaeton heroes at Medley, including N.O.R.E. ("Oye mi canto"), Wisin & Yandel ("Rakata"), and Daddy Yankee ("Gasolina"). It is his credit that his song fits perfectly with his song.

Balvin joined the chart topper "I Like It" with Cardi B and Bad Bunny. At least a giant bubble head version. It was a clever way to make the song work and highlight it. They even showed synchronized salsa movements.
What about a Beyoncé bubblehead in the "Mi Gente" remix next time?
