De Colombia p'al mundo: How Feid became Medellín's reggaeton 'ambassador'
Colombian artist Feid recently became the first artist to sell out Puerto Rico's 'El Choliseo' arena in an hour or less. It's just one example of how he has reached a new level of global stardom.
This summer, the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot (aka El Choliseo) in San Juan became saturated with neon green outfits, posters and lights. The bright hue signaled two headlining shows by Colombian artist Feid, who became the first artist in history to sell out the venue in an hour or less.
On an island that's birthed artists like Daddy Yankee and Bad Bunny — where reggaeton is an entire culture, not just a genre of music — Feid doesn't take that accomplishment lightly.
"For them, reggaeton. You cannot be a poser there; you have to be so real with people, and [either] they connect with you or not."
