During their long-awaited comeback to the heart of the Big Apple last night (May 23), Aventura captivated the crowd with an unexpected guest appearance. Midway through the show, Romeo Santos and his group gave a stirring rendition of a classic hit with Judy Santos.
Loyal followers of Aventura are well acquainted with Judy’s numerous collaborations with the group. She made her first duet with the top-charting Latin musical act with the breakout track, “Obsesión,” featured on their “We Broke the Rules” album in 2002. This joint effort catapulted Aventura into stardom thanks to Romeo’s partnership. Later, they joined forces once more in “La Guerra,” a track from their 2003 release, “Love & Hate”. Their collaborative endeavors extended with a third melody, “Angelito,” off their 2005 record “God’s Project.”
Hailing from the Bronx, Aventura’s members share their New York heritage with Judy, a native of Sleepy Hollow. Last evening, the ensemble returned to their old haunts in New York City. At Madison Square Garden, a storied arena, they marked their “Cerrando Ciclos Tour.” In a memorable collaboration, Judy stood alongside the group in a concert brimming with fans. They reawakened the past by performing “Obsesión,” sending waves of nostalgia through the venue. As Judy danced alongside each quartet member, the collective audience burst into cheers. Throughout her surprise appearance, Judy appeared to bask in the enjoyment with Aventura.
Romeo revealed in February that Aventura would reunite for the “Cerrando Ciclos Tour.” The group embarked on their U.S route at the start of the month, beginning at Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center in California. Their American engagements are set to end on June 21 in Dallas, TX. Following that, on August 15, Aventura plans to extend the tour to fans in Latin America. Starting in various Mexican localities, they will proceed to perform in Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. By November, the group intends to grace stages in Venezuela, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
