During the presentation at the Coca-Cola Music Hall, Colón offered a heartfelt tribute to Hector Lavoe, singing several of the artist's most iconic songs such as "Te conozco," "El Cantante" and "Cheche Colé."
Colón culminated his show in Puerto Rico with the song "Sin poderte hablar," which was released in 1979 and currently has more than 40 million views on YouTube.
His performance had been postponed since December because he was in recovery from COVID-19 during the last weeks of 2022.
Unhappy fans
Although Colón's performance at the Coca-Cola Music Hall was a success, many fans complained because the artist did not perform many of his other greatest hits such as "La murga," according to a report by EFE.
With comments such as "Retire with dignity," or "the presentation lacked a lot," several fans let the 72-year-old artist know their grievances with the show through Twitter.
