Even the rain, hail and long list of performers didn’t stop thousands of fans from flocking to the Atahualpa Olympic Stadium, in the north of Quito, for the Urban Fest, a concert that brought together eleven reggaeton exponents. The event lasted into the early hours of this Sunday, June 4.
Reggaeton fans came from different parts of Ecuador to sing the songs that set trends in the first decade of the 2000s.
Around 3:30 p.m., a torrential downpour surprised citizens who formed long queues to take the stage. In the stadium, people tried to cover themselves with plastic ponchos from the water until it started to hail, people on the field used the seats to protect themselves from the small ice stones.

During the night, the sky looked clear, and with that, the emotion could be heard with the screams of the fans singing the hits of artists like De la Ghetto, Rakim and Ken Y, Yaga and Mackie, among others.
