The city buzzed with celebration, with hotels exceeding capacity as fans arrived from across Colombia and internationally. The energy was palpable as Grupo Niche opened both shows with an impeccable repertoire of their greatest hits.
The peak moment of both nights arrived when Shakira surprised the audience, inviting the iconic salsa orchestra onto her stage to a deafening ovation. The stadium quite literally “trembled” as the two forces of Colombian music united to perform the classic “Sin Sentimiento.” The powerful fusion of Shakira’s voice and Niche’s orchestral strength created a historic memory for the collective soul of Colombia.
Under the direction of José Aguirre and Yanila Varela, Grupo Niche reaffirmed its status as a powerful emblem of Colombian salsa. This collaboration, which was a highlight of Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, marks a major cultural moment for Cali and the nation.
Grupo Niche continues its celebration of 45 years with the acclaimed Legacy Tour 2025, bringing their undeniable salsa flavor across the Americas, including upcoming dates in Boston, Mexico City, and Miami.
