Rapper Duki brought Madrid to its feet in the second concert of his triple “sold out” in the Spanish capital, which exploded under the rhythm of the main reference of Argentine trap in an explosive show.
“How are my beautiful people of Madrid tonight?” he greeted the thousands of fans who gathered this Tuesday at the Movistar Arena in Madrid to enjoy for almost two hours the most emblematic songs of Mauro Lombardo (Buenos Aires, 1996), known worldwide by his stage name.
With the dance floor packed, the rapper’s fans, many of them wearing Argentine national soccer team jerseys, waited impatiently until Duki came on stage.
“Duko, Duko, Duko, Duko,” shouted the audience, the nickname used by his friends to refer to the artist and which has ended up being adopted by fans as well.
The chords of ‘Leitmotiv’ -the instrumental track that opens his fourth studio album- gave way to ‘Nueva Era’, his collaboration with Puerto Rican Myke Towers, which brought a room on its feet, eager to vibrate with the Argentinean’s mix of rap and reggaeton rhythms.
With an explosive staging – dancers, smoke, flames and giant screens – the Argentinean performed on his second date before the Madrid audience, who were completely devoted to the show from the very beginning.
“Me fui pa España, rompí la península”, chanted at the top of their lungs the thousands of people who filled the Movistar Arena, who did not stop dancing, singing and jumping during the rest of the evening.
‘Buscarte Lejos’, ‘Imperio’, ‘Hardaway’ and ‘Wake Up & Bake Up’, a good part of his most recent songs, followed one after the other in the first part of the show that had as a guest the Spanish Lía Khali, with whom he sang a duet of their collaboration ‘Constelación’.
“Thank you so much to the people who listened to it,” he said at the end of the block dedicated to his latest album and added, grateful to his fans, “Damn Devil Mode would be nothing without you guys.”
And then it was time for the classics, with songs like ‘Rockstar’ or ‘Si te sentís sola’, which catapulted Duko from the world of cockfighting to the center of the music scene in Argentina and Latin America.
Throughout the concert, the rapper joked with the audience about the differences in pronunciation between Argentines and Spaniards and took the opportunity to ask for “noise” for the band that accompanies him on this ‘Duki World Tour’.
The Movistar Arena broke up with ‘Goteo’, one of his most popular songs, which the Argentinean took the opportunity to approach the dance floor and greet his fans, who shouted at the top of their lungs with the rapper: “6 a.m. flight to Madrid”.
“I arrived in the city and they welcome me as if I were the boss,” followed the lyrics of ‘Malbec’, which described the welcome given to the singer by the Madrid audience tonight.
And he left the fans’ favorites for the end. For ‘Givenchy’ he brought on stage a very young fan, Raúl, who could not hold back the tears to sing with his idol, who signed his T-shirt.
He did the complete set with ‘She Don’t Give’ and ‘Hello Cotto’, two of the songs from his beginnings, which launched the singer, originally from the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Almagro, to fame.
“Thank you for making me feel at home so far from home,” he said goodbye to “all his people in Spain” and “all his Latinos” in Madrid, reported Agencia EFE, where tomorrow he will end his Spanish stop on his world tour, which has taken him to stages in the U.S. and Latin America and will end in his native Buenos Aires.
