Daddy Yankee invited Paquita la del Barrio on his farewell tour

Recently reggaeton player Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, better known as Daddy Yankee, announced that he will definitively retire from the music industry and as a closure to his successful career is planning a spectacular farewell world tour.

The artist, who is originally from Puerto Rico, indicated that farewell will be as soon as his last tour ends in more than ten countries. This tour has been called La Última Vuelta and it will start in August and will end in December 2022. There are exactly 14 countries that Puerto Rican will visit, according to its own website.

“In this race I finally see the goal. Now I'm going to enjoy all of you and everything you've given me. To this genre you say that I made it global, but it was you who gave me the key to make this genre the largest in the world,” said Yankee, also known as “El Bigo Boss” (Spanish).

He added the following: “Today I formally announce my retirement from music by giving you my best production, my best concert tour and I'm going to do them celebrating my 32nd year career with this collector's piece titled Legendaddy,” he said in a video published on his official Instagram account.

Thus, with this controversial announcement, another even more controversial came and that is that among the guests who could appear for the singer's performances would be Paquita la del Barrio herself.

This was made known by the interpreter of Two-legged Rat during an interview she had on the program De primermano.

“I understand that yes (I will participate in the Dady Yankee tour),” the singer began to say, and then added: “I was in Veracruz, the invitation came through Paco Torres (his representative),” she commented.

Similarly, the 74-year-old singer expressed that she did not know the Puerto Rican's musical repertoire, but she was willing to collaborate with him.

“He sings his thing and I would sing mine. Each one of us,” he added.

Regarding her state of health, Paquita la del Barrio mentioned that she was not yet in the best condition, which has made her concerts a little more difficult to perform and she even has to perform them in a wheelchair.

“I have to work like this because I have a hard time standing. There are two jobs that I do in a wheelchair and I am not ashamed, if the public accepts me as I am, I will dedicate myself to my audience, which is beautiful. So even if I'm in a wheelchair, I'm going to be working,” he said.

Daddy Yankee started in 1994 and in 1995 he released his first year titled No Mercy. After three years he decided to form a duet with fellow singer Nicky Jam whose name was Los Cangris.

With the passing of time, exactly in 2004 and as a soloist he released the album Barrio Fino, the result of which brought him to fame and won the Latin GRAMMY and Billboard awards for the first time in his career.

Today, Daddy Yankee is one of the greatest influencers of urban music, considered a living legend. His music is also part of his legacy and songs such as Gasoline, What Happened, Rompe or Ella Me Levante are some of the melodies that his fans expect to hear live during their farewell tour.
