About Ricky Martin

Ricky Martin is a phenomenon. Since bursting onto the international scene, he has consistently redefined Latin pop, blending infectious rhythms with heartfelt lyrics and electrifying stage presence. Born Enrique Martín Morales in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Ricky’s journey to global stardom began as a member of the hugely successful boy band Menudo. His transition to a solo career in the early 1990s proved to be a masterstroke, quickly establishing him as a formidable force in the music industry.

His breakthrough into the English-speaking market was monumental, spearheaded by the iconic hit “Livin’ la Vida Loca” in 1999. This track, with its undeniable hook and rebellious spirit, became an instant global anthem, topping charts in over a dozen countries and earning him a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album. But “Livin’ la Vida Loca” was just the beginning. Ricky’s discography is a testament to his enduring appeal, featuring a string of chart-topping singles that have become synonymous with joy, celebration, and unadulterated musical passion.

Throughout his career, Ricky has demonstrated a remarkable ability to evolve, seamlessly incorporating diverse musical influences into his signature sound. From the pulsating beats of “She Bangs” and the romantic allure of “Vuelve” to the empowering anthems like “The Cup of Life” (the official song of the 1998 FIFA World Cup), his music transcends borders and languages, resonating with a universal audience. Beyond his musical prowess, Ricky Martin is also a celebrated philanthropist, using his platform to advocate for the rights and well-being of children worldwide. His enduring legacy is built not only on his chart success and electrifying performances but also on his unwavering commitment to making a positive impact. This concert at IFEMA is a rare opportunity to experience the full spectrum of Ricky Martin’s artistry – a true celebration of a career that continues to shine brightly.
