Ricky Martin performs during the 61st Vina del Mar International Song Festival in Vina del Mar, Chile, on Feb. 23, 2020.
Ricky Martin opened the Viña del Mar music festival in Chile with a sold-out show, where he traversed some of his greatest hits, from “Vuelve” to a reimagined “Livin' La Vida Loca.”
Playing to an adoring crowd of more than 15,000, an emotional Martin -- who last played this venue six years ago -- was generous with his playlist, performing for more than 90 minutes and picking up a silver and gold seagull (Gaviota de Plata y de Oro), the symbolic trophies that the crowd at Viña del Mar, known as “El Monstruo” (the monster), clamors for (or doesn’t) when they like a performance.
Martin performed at Viña del Mar, the oldest and most respected Latin music festival and song competition in the world, as part of his South American tour. He sang back by his full band and eight dancers, delivering a show that was part pop.
