After playing games in such countries as Brazil, Germany and Mexico, the NFL is headed to Spain for the first time, where the Washington Commanders and the Miami Dolphins will face each other at Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid Nov. 16. But for music fans, the real face-off will be between Argentine DJ and producer Bizarrap and Puerto Rican star Daddy Yankee.
Fresh on the heels of yesterday’s release of their “BZRP Music Sessions #0/66,” the pair will perform the track live for the first time at the NFL game in the Spanish capital.
Bizarrap is known for his hit “BZRP Sessions” with top Latin artists, each one tailored to the sound and lyrics of each guest. They include sessions with the likes of Spaniard Quevedo, Puerto Rico’s Rauw Alejandro and “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol 55/66” with Shakira, with its now iconic line “Las mujeres ya no lloran,” which in turn gave name to Shakira’s current tour.
At the NFL halftime show, In addition to the session with Daddy Yankee, Bizarrap will also perform some of his biggest hits.
“Getting the opportunity to headline the halftime show for the NFL’s first game in Spain is a huge honor,” said Bizarrap in a statement. “Especially alongside Daddy Yankee, such a legend”.
“I am really looking forward to performing onstage again with the incredibly talented Bizarrap,” said Daddy Yankee. “I feel so joyful about music and the amazing track we have created together – sharing it with fans around the world has already been so rewarding. Get ready Madrid, get ready NFL, we are going to have an amazing show!”
The NLF’s Madrid game and halftime show follows a September game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles charters played in São Paulo, Brazil, with a halftime show featuring Karol G.
“Across performances at our international games, we’ve elevated Latin artists around the world – showcasing the significance and appeal of the genre globally,” said in a statement Tim Tubito, senior director, global game presentation and entertainment at the NFL. “We’re thrilled to welcome Bizarrap and Daddy Yankee to our first-ever game in Madrid and can’t wait for fans to witness history, including the inaugural performance of the ‘BZRP Music Sessions #0/66’ and a pregame lineup of inspirational talent.”
That pregame lineup includes the Madrid Marine Infantry Group Band playing Spain’s national anthem and Madrid-based vocalist Karina Pasian performing the U.S. National Anthem.
