Residente is going on his first tour in over five years. On Wednesday, the Puerto Rican music legend announced that he’ll go on a world tour for his recently released album, Las Letras Ya No Importan.
The musician announced the trek with a teaser starring his son Milo and featuring Fito Paez on piano. The video sees the musician having drinks at a bar, before his son Milo shows up in his pajamas.
Milo and Residente share existential questions about the future of their lives, before Milo convinces Residente to go on tour by asking him to close his eyes and remember the first day he decided to make music for Calle 13.
The tour includes stops across South and Central America and Mexico. The artist will also be performing at shows in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall and Los Angeles’ YouTube Theater. Tickets for the two U.S. shows will go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
The new album will celebrate Residente’s recent album, Las Letras Ya No Importan, which he released at the end of February. The album featured songs such as “313,” “René,” “Ron en el Piso,” “El Encuentro” with Jessie Reyez, and “Pólvora de Ayer” with Christian Nodal.
“I think this album is a transition into what I want to start doing — and keep doing — with my music,” Residente told Rolling Stone ahead of its release. “I have songs that are from three or four years ago that I put on here because I feel like they’re part of the process. But some of those aren’t the ones I’m the most connected to at the moment.”
