Daddy Yankee Makes Unannounced Visit to Lima, Mixing With Fans and Sampling Local Fare

Local outlets say no concert is planned despite speculation over his October relaunch as DY.

Overview

  • RPP filmed the artist on September 21 leaving his Miraflores hotel, where he waved to crowds before departing in a black SUV.
  • Over the weekend he visited Mercado Santa Cruz in Miraflores, ate at Chifa Ton Kin Sen in the Barrio Chino, tried picarones in Barranco, and dined at Mayta with chef Jaime Pesaque, according to multiple reports and social videos.
  • Videos show him posing for photos, signing autographs, greeting supporters from a restaurant balcony, and sharing brief faith messages with fans.
  • RPP reports there is no scheduled show in Peru, though Media Concerts Perú noted he was seen with a producer linked to the Salsa Lima Festival and outlets referenced unconfirmed talk of a religious event.
  • Lima mayor Rafael López Aliaga publicly welcomed and thanked him for the visit, as the trip comes weeks before his planned musical return under the name DY.
