\n\tRawayana brought a Venezuelan-style Halloween party to New York City\u2019s Barclays Center on Saturday night (Oct. 31), entertaining a sold-out crowd with hits like \u201cUber,\u201d \u201cFeriado\u201d and \u201cHora Loca.\u201d The band members joined in the festivities in costume, with Beto sporting dreadlocks, Fofo wearing a short, sleek bob wig, Abeja rocking an \u201980s-style hair-metal wig and Tony dressed as a woman.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe beloved trippy-pop band started their performance on the main stage, featuring a backdrop screen alternating tropical visuals with imagery inspired by the songs they were performing, accompanied by smoke columns and confetti. They later moved to a second stage in the middle of the audience, truly igniting the party with tracks like \u201cSi Te Pica Es Porque Eres T\u00fa,\u201d \u201cQue Rico PR\u201d and \u201cVeneka,\u201d undoubtedly among the most enthusiastically sung along tracks of the night. For the latter, in collaboration with Akapellah, Beto proudly carried the Latin Grammy for best Latin electronic music performance they received in 2025.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs part of this set, two special guests thrilled the crowd: Cheo Pardo, a former member of Los Amigos Invisibles<\/a> whom Beto introduced as \u201cone of our great heroes, great influencers in our musical history,\u201d delivered a masterful DJ set dressed as a priest, keeping the crowd\u2019s energy at its peak with classics like \u201cQu\u00e9 Es Lo Que Tiene Esa Nena\u201d by El General and \u201cEl Tibur\u00f3n\u201d by Proyecto Uno. Then there was Yorghaki, who initially went unnoticed wearing a Spider-Man costume until he removed his mask to reveal his identity, before performing his collab with Be\u00e9le \u201cabusadOra.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the close to 12,000-people crowd, Venezuelan flags were prominently waved, with many fans wearing outfits referencing the South American country, such as jerseys from the Leones del Caracas baseball team as well as from the national soccer team, known as La Vinotinto. Flags from Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, among other Latin American nations, were also spotted.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut it wasn\u2019t all about the party. In a particularly heartfelt moment, Beto sat among the crowd with his guitar to perform \u201cTonada Por Ella,\u201d dedicating the moment to those affected by the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela last June. He invited attendees to donate to Fundaci\u00f3n El After, a nonprofit organization Rawayana established to aid long-term recovery efforts in their homeland. QR codes appeared on the screens, directing fans to the foundation\u2019s website, with the message: \u201cDonate with El After. Your donation will help bring kids back to school,\u201d accompanied by images of school desks.<\/p>\n

\n\tSaturday\u2019s show was part of Rawayana\u2019s \u00bfD\u00f3nde Es El After? World Tour, in support of their album of the same name released on Jan. 1 which earned them their first No. 1s<\/a> on the Billboard charts with \u201cIngl\u00e9s en Miami.\u201d The song, a collaboration with Manuel Turizo, topped the Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay rankings last May after going viral on social media with a dance challenge.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe New York City show also came just one day after the state of Massachusetts officially proclaimed Oct. 30, 2026 as \u201cRawayana Day<\/a>,\u201d following their performance at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston. <\/p>\n

\n\tPromoted by Live Nation, the sold-out U.S. leg of the \u00bfD\u00f3nde Es El After? World Tour continues Sunday night (Nov. 1) in Philadelphia, with upcoming stops in Washington, D.C.; Chicago and Los Angeles, among other cities, before wrapping up on Dec. 6 in Miami.<\/p>\n

\n\tRawayana graced recently the cover of Billboard Espa\u00f1ol<\/a> and participated in a panel during Billboard Latin Music Week<\/a> in Miami Beach alongside Hans Schafer of Live Nation, who was recognized as Billboard\u2019s Latin Power Players 2026 Executive of the Year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
