Doha: The Puerto Rican singer, songwriter and music producer Luis Fonsi will be performing live for the first time in Qatar on 6 December at 9pm.

Qatar is a part of Fonsi’s “Love+ Dance World Tour”, and just as the name indicates, it will showcase the best of Fonsi’s greatest ballads such as “No Me Doy Por Vencido,” “Aquí Estoy Yo,” “Nada Es Para Siempre,” “Imagíname Sin Ti,” among others, with his up tempo songs like “Por Una Mujer,” “No Te Cambio Por Ninguna,” “Corazón en La Maleta” and of course his mega global hit “Despacito”.

In January 2017, he blazed a trail when he promoted and released "Despacito" featuring Daddy Yankee. The music video reached more than 1,9 billion views, with the song occupying the number one slot in nearly every western country. Crowned as the king of “THE” summer hit 2017, "Despacito" was given an English remix featuring Canadian singer Justin Bieber, going on to enjoy phenomenal success across the entire globe.

The ticket prices are QR750 (regular), QR1000 (preferred) and QR7500 (VIP Lounge) and the concert will be held at the W Doha.

Looking for the most innovative sounds and at the same time remaining true to the romantic and pop style, now with the huge success of “Despacito” as a backing, Fonsi continues to share his music all over the world.

Fonsi’s talent was evident when his debut album, Comenzaré (I Will Begin) immediately set a record and peaked at number 11 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart, becoming an instant hit in Puerto Rico and across Latin America. His success promptly won him legions of fans in markets such as Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, and Venezuela. Powered by that early success, he went on to record a duet with Christina Aguilera and quickly won his first Latin Grammy 2009 for “Aqui Estoy Yo”. In 2011 Billboard named Fonsi "Leader of Latin Music's New Generation".
