Quevedo arrives at the Sant Jordi as an idol of a new era

Quevedo is no longer the young man who barely reached the age of majority and released singles in 2021 or 2022. He debuted in Barcelona when he was still a promise, more than a certainty, and he did so on a smaller stage compared to what he does today, like a prelude to what was to come.

At 23, Pedro Luis Domínguez Quevedo has become one of the most profitable names in urban music in Spain and much of Latin America. His numbers speak volumes: more than 15 million monthly listeners on Spotify, songs with over 600 million streams, and dozens of international collaborations.

It premiered in Barcelona when it was still a promising artist, as a prelude to what was to come.

On September 8 and 9, the Palau Sant Jordi will host two concerts by the Canary Islands artist, this time to present songs from his second album, Buenas noches , and also to revisit the hits that catapulted him to undeniable success three years ago. It's no wonder he's just finishing a tour with massive stops: 40,000 people in the Canary Islands, his adopted homeland, and three consecutive nights at the Movistar Arena in Madrid.

In his live performances, Quevedo is the center of attention. There are no musicians on stage: just him, with his custom voice and the stage design. For some songs, he's accompanied by a cast of dancers. The concert opens with "Kassandra ," which sets the tone in the hall from the very first minute, and the show's weight rests on a repertoire of nearly thirty songs, featuring a repertoire of trap and reggaeton.

The audience is diverse, but truth be told, the audience is mostly young or very young: teenagers accompanied by their parents and many twenty-somethings who have made him one of the idols of this new generation. There's always room for unexpected collaborations at his recitals, a formula that fuels excitement at every stage.

If we can be sure of one thing, it's that the closing act will be Quédate , the song that launched the Canary Islander's career three summers ago. It will be played as an inevitable epilogue, a reminder that the Quevedo phenomenon can't be understood without that piece that crossed borders and platforms, and that helps us understand how the music industry works today: artists who, with a couple of albums and an arsenal of singles, are capable of filling venues in record time, and single-handedly establish themselves as new idols before a devoted audience that roars the lyrics.

Barcelona awaits Quevedo, who lives up to the phenomenon he himself has ignited.
