The audience was treated to an unforgettable musical journey that included tracks like Traicionera, Tacones Rojos, and Pareja del Año. The atmosphere was charged with excitement, particularly during his rendition of Ya No Tiene Novio, which was made even more memorable by the holographic appearance of digital avatars Mau and Ricky who cheered and engaged with the audience through the trendy TikTok phenomenon titled “tengo lo que Yatra no tenía.” This creative approach not only elicited laughter but also tightened the bond between the performer and his fans.
A breathtaking moment occurred during Devuélveme el Corazón, where the venue transformed into a starry sky as thousands of audience members lit up their phones, creating an enchanting ambiance that heightened the emotional intensity of the performance.

This show marked a significant milestone in Yatra's career, as he had the unique opportunity to immerse himself fully in the creation and execution of the performance. Crafted exclusively for the festival, the show showcased the collaboration between the artist and a grand orchestra of 43 Chilean musicians led by the acclaimed Carlos López, a multiple Grammy-winning producer and conductor. The fusion of Yatra’s talents with symphonic arrangements elevates his hits into a singular auditory experience that resonates with all who attended.
The visual spectacle of the evening was amplified further by a team of 16 talented Chilean dancers whose energetic performances added an extraordinary dynamic to the show. The innovative staging featured meticulously chosen visual effects and lighting designs that complemented the performances beautifully. This bold yet sophisticated presentation was not merely an end in itself but a prelude to the next chapter of Yatra’s artistic journey, offering fans an early glimpse into the evolution of his upcoming album.
The night was further enhanced by a surprise guest appearance from fellow musician Lasso, who shared the stage with Yatra for a heartfelt rendition of Ojos Marrones.
