• Music All the news about Quevedo

In a performance that consolidates him as an exponent of music in Spanish and idol of the masses, Quevedo has gotten rid of the label of the 'man of a success' and has excited the 17,000 people who have come this Friday to his baptism at the Wizink center in Madrid, where the Canarian has stated that where he wants to be, In addition to his house overlooking the sea, it is on stage.

Few successful careers are remembered as brilliant as that of Pedro Domínguez Quevedo, born in Madrid in 2001 but raised in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria since he was 5 years old, the island that he carries as a flag and claims every second of his artistic life, today accustomed to the top positions of the national and international tops on digital platforms.

Quevedo tells La Resistencia how the money from Quédate has been spent

After his success thanks to the session with the Argentine Bizarrap and the release of his first album, he has been consecrated this Friday, May 5, in his first concert at the WiZink Center in Madrid, before 17,453 people, according to the organization.

This is the maximum and record capacity of tickets sold for a WiZink. If confirmed by the venue, it would also become an attendance record. Thus, it would also be a new mark achieved by Pedro Luis Domínguez Quevedo, already accustomed to it, which would be placed ahead of Maluma (with 17,412 in April 2022) and Metallica (17,257 in 2018), reports Europa Press.

The story of his rise is known: a great peak of virality in 2021 for his verse in the remix of 'Caído la noche', which reached number 1 in Spotify's Top 50 Spain and began to drag the public towards his previous songs; the immediate publication of successive songs that carved an important fan phenomenon; and the international success in 2022 of 'Quédate', the 52nd session with Argentine producer Bizarrap.

From there arises 'Donde quiero estar', his first studio album, a compendium of 16 songs where love, sex and doubts about stardom flood fundamentally Latin rhythms, with a great presence of reggaeton but also betting on more electronic sounds, following the latest creative trail of countries like Puerto Rico.

This Friday, Quevedo has burst the reductionist corset of 'Quédate' and has discovered himself as an essential artist for music in Spanish, with a large list of first-class guests and a performance made by and for the enjoyment of the respectable.

Sheathed in a brown jacket with the initials LPGCYN on the back (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, You Know), as if carrying the weight of representing his own, the Canarian has taken the stage -a square located in the middle of the track- and has shown off without backup singers, accompanied in the distance by the prolific Cadiz producer Kiddo Manteca, in command of the controls.

The sober scenery and the play of lights, shy, has only enlarged his staging throughout the two hours in which he has wandered around the stage, sometimes with a clueless face, as if evading his responsibility in the construction of such a bustle.

Quevedo's is a concert to perrear, jump and shout something to those who accompany you, even knowing that they will not understand it at the expense of their eardrum, or to eat your partner's mouth, or to grab your friend's neck and dance with him until you collide with the ten people around you.

Determined from the beginning, he has sounded hit after hit, such as 'Ahora qué', 'Respuesta cero' or 'Piel de Cordero', accompanied in this last song by his friend and singer La Pantera, as well as by Juseph in 'Chamaquita', two of the artists who have seen him grow up and with whom he shares the original song of 'Caído la noche' with producer BDP Music.

And he has uploaded other countrymen such as Cruz Cafuné, with whom he has interpreted one of the songs that will be part of the new work of Tenerife, the long-awaited 'Me muevo con dios', which will be released this May, although without a confirmed date.

JCReyes have also passed through the stage, to sing 'Muñeca'; Lola Indigo, with whom he has sounded 'El tonto', and Maikel Delacalle and his 'Mi nena remix', which has ended in a thunderous a cappella by the public, while with Linton at the piano he has lived an intimate moment, perhaps the only one of the night, when they both stayed, dressed in white and alone, interpreting 'Me falta algo'.

Quevedo has given a unique memory to Saiko, a promising artist from Granada who this 2023 is heading from strength to strength, by inviting him to the stage to sing, alone and before 17,000 people, his 'hit' 'Supernova', which currently occupies number 1 of the Top 50 Spain.

And he has left for the end one of the most special songs of his career, which puts a face to the sweet moment that music goes through in the Canary Islands: each and every one of the artists of 'Caído la noche remix' -Bejo, La Pantera, Juseph, Cruz Cafuné, Abhir Hathi, El Ima, BDP Music and Quevedo himself- together to colonize the peninsula to the rhythm of reggaeton.

Although the closing, as it could not be otherwise, has been with 'Quédate' and all the invited artists jumping and pushing the public, in the last word of Quevedo before the Madrid public, who asked him, following the lyrics, to stay there a while longer.

After tonight, what is clear is that Quevedo knows where he wants to be.

Although he may already be used to records, Quevedo says that tonight at WiZink is "a dream", "unreal". The public endorses that dream, accompanying the canary success after success.

After his consecration in the old Palacio de los Deportes, the artist will stop on May 12 and 13 at the Sant Jordi Club, to continue later with his tour in other parts of Spain, reports Europa Press.
