Aventura Lights Up Madison Square Garden 14 Years Later, Brings Judy Santos for ‘Obsession’

Aventura lights up Madison Square Garden 14 years later, brings Judy Santos for 'Obsession'.

Fourteen years after their last performance at Madison Square Garden, Romeo Santos and Aventura returned on Thursday (May 23) to the New York City arena as part of their reunion tour Cerrando Ciclos, and picked up where they left off — with fans enraptured by their music, screaming every word of every one of their bachata songs at the top of their lungs. From the first chords of “Por un Segundo,” through “Dile al Amor,” “El Perdedor,” and “Brindo con Agua,” Romeo — along with his bandmates Henry, Lenny, and Max Santos and about a dozen musicians on stage — thrilled a crowd that never stopped shouting out each verse and every comment from the singer, who continuously interacted with them. He even indulged them with a segment in which he performed snippets of songs they requested from the stands, and brought a couple of female fans on stage to sing with him in a moment that felt intimate despite the nearly 20,000-people that filled the venue.
