Ricardo Arjona, one of the most transcendent artists in the history of Latin music, will return to Buenos Aires in May 2026. He will perform at the Movistar Arena, offering the audience not just a concert, but a true sensory journey through his greatest hits and new compositions. According to the artist himself, this will be one of the best works he has done to date.
Arjona, hailing from Guatemala, began his career with songs that were a social commentary on the reality around him. Since then, his career has grown non-stop. He has sold over 80 million records, has more than 41 million followers on social media, and his recent tours drew over 2 million people across Latin America and Europe.
Recently, the artist once again demonstrated his phenomenal success: tickets for his shows sell out in record time. For instance, in December 2023, he performed twice at the Vélez Sarsfield stadium with sold-out crowds, and in 2022, he held eight sold-out concerts at the Movistar Arena.
His recent Blanco y Negro tour also concluded with two sold-out shows at Vélez Sarsfield, attracting over 2 million spectators worldwide. In 2006, Arjona held 34 shows at the Luna Park stadium, drawing more than 230,000 people as part of his Adentro tour.
For his new tour, Arjona will perform with production by Fénix Entertainment. Tickets are now on sale and are expected to sell out very quickly. This will be a unique event in the artist's life, recognized as the most impactful production of his career.
Arjona also announced that he is working on a new album titled Lo que el Seco no dijo, set for release soon.
Quote: «According to his own words, this is one of the best works he has done to date».
In his early life, Arjona was a schoolteacher, a basketball player, and a composer. At 24, he moved to Mexico, where he produced his first album, Animal Nocturno, with borrowed money. His parents were teachers who met in a village called El Ixcanal. It was there that Arjona, through his foundation ADENTRO, built one of the most important multidisciplinary schools in Latin America.
His family was itinerant, as his father was sent to different places for his teaching work. To make ends meet, his mother sold transistor radios on credit, and at the end of each month, they would travel across the country on a motorcycle to collect payments. An accident almost cost them their lives: his mother remained in the hospital for over a month with a crushed spine. After recovering, financial problems forced her to sneakily move to New York and work in a plush toy factory until the family's debts were paid off. His father continued his teaching work and taught his son, nicknamed 'El Seco', to play the guitar starting at age 8.
