The Puerto Rican singer, Luis Fonsi, arrived in Lima with all his excitement, ready to give a stunning performance at the Lima 2019 Pan American Games Opening Ceremony, which will take place this Friday, July 26, at the National Stadium.

This way, the renowned exponent of Hispanic music is ready to appear on the stage of this unforgettable ceremony, in front of more than 40 thousand people, who will turn Lima into the epicenter of continental sports.

“I’m really excited to be part of a celebration as big as the Pan American Games. I love sports, I admire the athletes and I promise it will be a great night,” said the Caribbean artist a few days ago.

With an impeccable and successful 20-year artistic career, Luis Fonsi is undoubtedly one of the most transcendent Spanish-speaking singers in the world of music around the globe. He has achieved countless records, transcending borders and crossing language barriers with his radio hits "Despacito", "Échame La Culpa", "Imposible", among others.

At the Opening Ceremony of the most important multi-sport festival of the Americas, the Latin artist will be joined by the distinguished tenor and representative of Peruvian culture, Juan Diego Flórez. The national singers Guillermo Bussinger, Sandra Muente, Shantall Young and Pelo D'Ambrosio, among others, will also participate in the ceremony.

This historic show will also have more than 1700 artists, under the direction of the renowned dancer and choreographer Vania Masías. The landscapes of Peru in all its latitudes will be reflected through a splendid choreographic display, as well as the recreation of the Pan American Games history since its founding.

The Pan American Games Opening Ceremony will take place this Friday, July 26, at 18:00, at the National Stadium with the attendance of approximately 40 thousand people. Delegations from 41 countries in the Americas will parade and more than 6700 athletes will be received with the ovation from the public.
