Instead, I wanted the songs themselves to guide me in choosing the cities. Obviously, many songs were left out, songs that also have significant meaning to me, but at the end of the day, what I wanted to do was thank my audience for making me part of the soundtrack of their lives, for accompanying me through these 25 years of my career, and to celebrate this journey together that has changed my life,” Fonsi expained in a press release.
