Romeo Santos is ready to make history.
4:12 PM PDT, September 19, 2019The 37-year-old bachata artist has been in the spotlight for years, largely thanks to his wildly popular band, Aventura, who split up back in 2011. Since then, Santos' solo career has soared, garnering collaborations with the likes of Marc Anthony, Drake, Nicki Minaj and others. All the previous success seems to have led to this specific moment -- a headlining concert at MetLife Stadium.
ET: You're the first Latin artist to headline the MetLife Stadium. Has performing at the stadium been on your bucket list forever?: I’m super excited. I’m very thrilled, anxious, you know, preparing for a huge night. The tickets took off amazing, so I’m really happy about that. And I’m just preparing like I said. I want it to be a very epic night.Fans have gone crazy over it.
I wanted to kind of, like, tell a story: bachata -- the journey of bachata, the history of bachata. I didn’t want anything to be left out. And I say this respectfully, not to sound arrogant, but I think Aventura has played a huge part in the legacy of our genre, you know, our culture and bachata. So there was a moment for me to once again do music with my brothers, that was definitely this project.
With Lenny it was, you know, I’ve already worked on some things with him prior to this Aventura [song]. So it’s always fun working with him. It was super cool working with Mikey and my cousin, Henry. It’s just, like, the chemistry just continues. It never vanished. It never got weak or anything like that. It was, like, our chemistry, not only in the studio, but also on stage that night we performed at the Latin Billboards.
That’s a great question. I’ve learned that I am far more competitive than I thought I was. I like just reinventing myself and making sure that people can appreciate and perceive the evolution, how I continue to grow and just give 100 percent. I’m never, like, the type to just work on a song or an album and just be like, “Eh.” At least my objective. I’m not always going to succeed at it, but my objective is always to make it better.
