At the center of the production, an unprecedented stage stood out: the largest ever built in the stadium in a non-360 format, setting a new standard for live entertainment in Colombia. Designed with a proposal inspired by Cura\u00e7ao, it transformed the venue into a completely immersive experience, reflecting Ryan Castro’s evolution from El Cantante del Ghetto to the sound of Caribbean roots that he explores in Send\u00e9 and Hopi Send\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\nThe impact of the event transcended the stadium. In a key cultural moment, the city of Medell\u00edn joined the concert with the launch of a special edition C\u00edvica card by the Medell\u00edn Metro, which also operated with 24-hour service, in homage to Castro and this historic presentation. The initiative is part of the city’s tradition of integrating mobility with culture, as has already been seen with global artists such as Madonna, Beyonc\u00e9 and Karol G.\n\nThe success of his show in Medell\u00edn comes before the release of his highly anticipated joint album Omert\u00e0 with J Balvin, scheduled for May 7.\n\n\n
ABOUT RYAN CASTRO:<\/strong>
Ryan Castro is a global reggaeton and dancehall artist whose impact goes far beyond music, connecting culture, community, sports, and entrepreneurship. Known as “El Cantante Del Ghetto” (The Singer From The Ghetto), Castro is a Colombian artist who went from singing on the streets of the Pedregal neighborhood in Medell\u00edn to becoming one of the most influential figures in Latin music worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n
Before his leap to fame with the single \u201cMorena\u201d in 2017, Ryan lived in Cura\u00e7ao, where he immersed himself in reggae and dancehall, sounds that still define his musical identity today with a strong Caribbean essence. He achieved international recognition with hits like \u201cMujeriego\u201d and \u201cJordan\u201d, both entering the Billboard Global 200 and the Spotify Global Top 50. His Diamond-certified hit \u201cQUEMA\u201d, along with Peso Pluma, further consolidated his place among the leading Latin artists in the world.\n\n
In 2024, Ryan released his debut album El Cantante Del Ghetto, certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA, and presented the global and viral anthem \u201cEl Ritmo Que Nos Une\u201d for the Colombian National Football Team, marking an unprecedented cultural moment that united music and sports. That same year, Rolling Stone U.S. named him part of Future 25, highlighting him as one of the artists shaping the future of music and global culture.\n\n
2025 was a historic year for Ryan, fueled by sold-out arena tours in the United States, becoming the first Colombian artist to acquire a stake in a professional sports team, the Paisas Basketball Club of Medell\u00edn, his hometown, and launching one of Colombia’s most successful entertainment collaborations: his “Romantik Style” chocolate bar with Jumbo, which surpassed 1.2 million units sold. That same year, he released two critically acclaimed albums, Send\u00e9 and Hopi Send\u00e9, which highlight his Caribbean essence, influenced by the dancehall and reggae he absorbed during his time in Cura\u00e7ao.\n\n
In 2026, Ryan’s momentum reached new heights when his single “La Villa”, from his third album Hopi Send\u00e9, became a global phenomenon: it reached #31 on the global chart, reaching #1 in several Latin American markets. Today, Ryan Castro is consolidated as one of the largest and most successful Latin artists in the world, constantly breaking barriers and redefining what it means to be a global artist on stage, in culture and beyond.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
