Maluma, child. Actually.

The Colombian superestrella‘s debonair smile and mesmerizing vocals had been as charming as ever throughout his El Tiny efficiency, but nothing may draw the highlight away from the three little phrases proclaimed boldly throughout his chest: “Papa de Paris.” Of all of the titles Maluma has donned — Don Juan, Papi Juancho — none have ever been worn with extra delight.

“Esa cancion … se la compuse a alguien y es bien bonito tenerlas aquí,” the singer stated in Spanish, teasing the announcement of his soon-to-be-born child woman forward of a teary-eyed efficiency of “ADMV.” Mama, who was current within the crowd, was clearly center-stage within the artist’s mind as he solid loving glances in her route all through the emotional set.

Tears did not cease Maluma from bringing within the hits, from infamous banger “Hawái” to latest regional record-breaker “Según Quién,” he confirmed off his stylistic variety and vocal dynamism by laying easy melodies over a rock stable band that includes a string part and masterful percussion.

As a shock prolonged ending to our heritage month celebration, Maluma closed issues out in true Latino style — with delight, tears and familia.
