'I’m accepting the new reality and I hope people enjoy this.'
But as the singer explained during his concert, he initially had misgivings about performing live to a virtual audience. “It was difficult for me to do a concert without an audience,” he said during his performance, which also featured an in-person feature by Sech and live-streamed interludes by Mora and J Balvin. “I didn't want to. But I’m accepting the new reality and I hope people enjoy this. We need it.
Of course, he quickly amassed a new kind of crowd as New Yorkers put on their masks and gathered on the streets to watch. One video posted to YouTube showed dozens of people singing along to “Yo Perreo Sola,” which he saved for the grand finale at Harlem Hospital. He also paid tribute to first responders and those whose lives had been lost to COVID-19. As of Monday morning,due to complications from the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
“Respect and thanks to those people who have sacrificed their lives in this city. With a lot of faith in God, I sense that good things are coming,” el Conejo Malo said. “I know we are going through very difficult times. I have made thousands of mistakes, but my only mission is to try to be a better person every day.”
Of course, Twitter reacted to the concert just as you’d imagine they would. Some accounts joked about the very real way many New Yorkers were likely trying to follow the truck, which stopped traffic in some parts of the city. Others commented on the unique hurdles caused by a live concert on New York City’s streets, and those not within commuting distance made the most of the digital experience at home.
