What a great vallenato … to cry, to feel, to live!!!! Long live music! Long live the things we can feel with it and the things we can make you feel through it! THANK YOU for this invitation Silvestre !!!! WHAT A MOMENT.”

Duki’s metro station
Ahead of his historical show at the new Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on June 8, the Santiago Bernabéu metro station will be renamed “Estación Duko” in his honor. Duki is set to sing in front of 65,000 people, becoming the first urban artist to fill this iconic stadium.
The Spanish capital has played a fundamental role in the career of the Argentine rapper, who has mentioned it in several of his songs, such as “Don’t Lie” with Quevedo. Duki returns to Madrid since performing there for his Desde el Fin del Mundo tour in 2023, selling out two dates at the WiZink Center.

It’s graduation season and Gustavo Dudamel couldn’t help but show off his new milestone. The Venezuelan conductor received an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from the prestigious University of Harvard. Following the ceremony, Dudamel captured the special moment on social media with a heartfelt message.
“Receiving an honorary degree from Harvard University thrills me deeply,” Dudamel captioned an Instagram post. “As a child in Barquisimeto, I could not have imagined that I would one day be recognized by this extraordinary institution.”
He continued: “Education is perhaps the greatest gift we can give. Throughout my life, it has helped me establish my sense of identity, both as an individual and as a member of a global community. When the challenges of the world begin to overwhelm us, I believe the best way to persevere is to approach one another with curiosity, empathy and a desire to learn. It is only through knowledge and understanding that we can heal, inspire and lead the world to a more compassionate future.”
