Rauw Alejandro Shows Full Artistic Evolution During Triumphant Forest Hills Concert

Rolling Stone · 33 minutes ago

Rauw Alejandro delivered a two-night headlining performance at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens as part of his Red Bull Chapters concert series, with a second date added after the first sold out. The Puerto Rican superstar structured the show as a three-act narrative titled Inspiration, Momentum, and Legacy, using the performance to trace his artistic journey and reflect the broad genre evolution of his career, from reggaeno into R&B, Afrobeat, dance hall and salsa-influenced sounds.

The first act celebrated Rauw's Puerto Rican roots through songs including "Santa," "Carita Linda," and a cover of Frankie Ruiz's "Tú Con Él," accompanied by island imagery. The second act, themed around momentum and risk-taking, featured stunt performers alongside tracks such as "Baby Hello" and "Dejau," while Rauw also urged the Puerto Rican diaspora in the crowd to invest in the island to preserve its culture. The final act brought out collaborators Tainy and Chencho for guest sets including "Party" and "El Efecto," before Rauw closed with "Que Pasaría," "Lokera" and "Punto 30."

  • Rauw Alejandro played two sold-out nights at Forest Hills Stadium, Queens.
