Historic Maluma: beat Metallica with record attendance in Madrid, Spain

The urban artist is currently carrying out his 'Maluma Papi Juancho World Tour 2022' tour that took him last Tuesday 5th to Madrid -Spain- and the venue was the WiZink Center, whose maximum capacity is 17,453 people. It was within the predictions to fill the place, but despite not meeting 100% of the capacity, that night he broke a record of attendance held by a major music in the world.

According to a statement issued by the Maluma team, the artist managed to bring together 17,400 people in the Spanish capital, thus achieving a mark never seen before on stage and leaving behind the record achieved by the band Metallica, which in February 2018 brought 17,267 attendees to the same coliseum.

The concert, which took place in the 360° format (like all those on his tour) was one of the best of his career and this was stated by the artist through several 'InstaStories' posted on his Instagram account, where with a very marked Paisa accent he was amazed by the reception in Madrid.

“Marica, what did ome (sic) tell you... about the most motherfucker shows I've ever done in my life, but that's thanks to the audience. Fag, how crazy!” , said Papi Juancho to his more than 61 million followers on this platform. He then highlighted his presentation with Feid, reiterating that it was the first time they sang live the recent single 'Mojando asientos'.

“Guevón, that -WiZink Center- was going to fall... What a chimba! Thank you, Madrid, thank you. I love them”, concluded the Colombian, who was just surprised by the duet performance with 'Ferxxo', the collaboration that already has more than six million views on YouTube after less than 15 days of premiere.

In that same concert, another star was captured, but from Spanish football: in one of the boxes was Radamel Falcao García, who was unable to play with Rayo Vallecano due to a muscular injury that prevented him from playing the last match against Granada for the Spanish League.

The striker attended with his wife, Lorelei Tarón, and former Barranquilla Carnival Queen Marcela Garcia, as well as her husband and even James Rodríguez's mother, were also seen in the capital of Spain.

It is worth noting that Maluma becomes, with the box office record already mentioned, the first Latin artist to achieve this feat on one of the most important stages in Madrid, demonstrating that his music is also heard in Europe, including Germany.

In fact, during his presentation in Frankfurt on March 30, an event occurred that stunned not only him, but the thousands of spectators who were watching his show. On his Instagram profile he shared a video detailing the episode that was, moreover, romantic.

In the images you can see the moment when a man asks his girlfriend to marry him on stage, in the middle of the show. The young man knelt down in front of his partner, who was very excited and was holding a ring in his hands, while the background music played. In this way, the couple starred in an unforgettable moment with Maluma as a witness.

“This just happened in Frankfurt - Germany!! QUE VIVA EL AMOR (Look at my face please) #PapiJuanchoEuropeTour”, wrote the singer on his official Instagram account when he posted the video of the romantic moment that happened during his concert that was also part of the 'Papi Juancho World Tour'.
