Bidding farewell to their music career as a duo, the artists will wrap up their tour on Dec. 31, also marking their 14th show in Puerto Rico. A residency never before achieved by any artist that has played El Choli, the duo officially breaks the all-time record held by Daddy Yankee with his 12 sold-out shows at the venue in December 2019. The “Recordar” artists also break the very record that they achieved in 2018 with eight sold-out Coliseo shows, part of their Como Antes Tour. Tickets are available at ticketera.com.
