It’s set to be a historic event in both sport and music as it’s the first time the US National Football League has staged an official game on Spanish soil, with two of the most influential figures in urban music on the bill.
The two artists will perform their recent collaboration live for the first time, ‘BZRP Music Sessions Vol. 0/66’.
Bizarrap said it was “a great honour” to headline the show especially alongside Daddy Yankee, “a legend”, according to statements released by the league and reported by AP.
For his part, the ‘Gasolina’ singer said he was happy about the collaboration with the Argentine producer and highlighted “the incredible song we have created together”.
Tim Tubito, the NFL’s senior director of Global Game Presentation and Entertainment, explained that the league aims to “celebrate music and culture” and that they are “delighted to welcome Bizarrap and Daddy Yankee at its first game in Madrid”.
