“A cheer for the Latinos!” a high-pitched Jowell called to damp Sueños attendees who waited out the weather. Though the two set expectations high, the remainder of their set was at times hard to follow.
Sunday’s weather snarls unintentionally made Jowell y Randy one of the first acts of the Sueños Music Festival’s final day, after a short set by Delilah. It’s no pressure for the Puerto Rican duo, who have been making music since the early 2000s.
It’s clear that the weather initially bummed out the crowd, some of whom spent hundreds of dollars on tickets and outfits and had been waiting outside the gates since early morning. It’s not so easy for many to stunt their outfits with damp hair and muddy shoes.
Perhaps that’s why the dembow artists decided to open their set with “SAFAERA,” their hit collaboration with fellow Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny.
