Rauw Alejandro Paralyzes the Streets of Mexico City’s Historic Center With Surprise Show

Hundreds of people packed several streets of the Historic Center of Mexico City on Friday (Nov. 22) to listen and see live Puerto Rican star Rauw Alejandro, who sang from a balcony of a legendary mansion in a brief concert that went viral on social media.

Dressed in the official jersey of the Mexican National Soccer Team, a charro hat and a white tank top, the Latin urban music star performed a few songs for his euphoric fans, who did not stop shouting and applauding him, from the balcony of La Casa de los Azulejos, located on Madero Street.

Videos on X show the singer moving around in a small space to the sound of songs like “Tú con Él,” one of the tracks from his new album Cosa Nuestra, released on Nov. 15.

The announcement of the visit of Rauw Alejandro, who is in Mexico this weekend to participate in the urbano music Coca-Cola Flow Fest, was made on the social media of his record label Sony Music and the artist himself. “CDMX! Today you have an appointment with @rauwalejandro. See you today at 1 pm at the Casa de los Azulejos,” said the post.

“We didn’t go to take an exam so we could come see you, Rauw,” read a sign carried by a girl in a photograph shared on X.

At one point, the artist caused nerves among his followers when, with adrenaline pumping from the audience’s response, he climbed onto one of the railings to sing from there.

Rauw Alejandro will participate Saturday at the Coca-Cola Flow Fest at the Curva 4 of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, where Sebastián Yatra, Anuel AA, Dani Flow, Jhayco, Tony Dize and Tiago PZK will also perform.
