Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra has just started his “Dharma Tour” in the United States following touring countries such as Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru.
It also comes from making the most important cities in Spain dance, sing and vibrate with 19 sold-out dates and where it was attended by the world tennis star, the Spanish Rafael Nadal in one of his presentations.

Later, when passing through that city during the summer, Yatra and Nodal agreed to go to dinner and in that meeting, the young singer of hits like “Traicionera” and “Couple of the Year” took advantage of the athlete to enjoy his concert in the city. “And he went with his family to my show and while there he told me ‘now you have to go see me,'” Yatra recalled in a link via Zoom with the Los Angeles Times in Spanish, while traveling in his luxurious bus with a heliport included in the the ceiling.
He says that time passed, but he did not forget the promise, so taking advantage of the fact that he had two days off in the middle of the city tour of the state of Texas, Sebastián flew to New York to see him play at the US Open. During the game, Yatra uploaded on her Instagram account the experience lived in the stands of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, in New York and when we asked him regarding that special moment he told us that “it was spectacular”.
In full transmission Yatra was caught on camera applauding to his friend and immediately the nets began to burst. Nadal had gone to support him at his concert in Mallorca and now Yatra returned the gesture seeing him win the match live and direct.
Sebastián Yatra travels the country aboard a luxury bus to perform on the most prestigious stages and on Sunday he arrives in Los Angeles.

That night he brought her up on stage and made her the happiest in the world. “I had seen on Twitter that she had uploaded her photo dressed like this, with heels and saying that she was going to the show, so when I saw her in the front row and that moment of the song came, I took her up on stage with me so that we might sing together ”, Yatra recalled with a smile, because “Tacones Rojos” is a very special song for him and for his fans who managed to take the song to first place on Latin radio in the United States.
However, behind that smile, Yatra looked exhausted, even though he had slept regarding 11 hours straight. After the concert in Laredo, Yatra had gotten on one of the three buses with which he and his team of 29 people were traveling through the cities of Texas.
