J Balvin: The “Back to the Rayo” tour is about going back to my roots, my beginnings. The name of the tour comes from the story of my first car, which was a Chevrolet Rayo. It was a modest car, but it was the beginning of my journey in music. I wanted to create an intimate experience for my fans, where they can see me perform some of my older hits as well as new songs from my album “Rayo”, which was inspired by that period of my life.
