The Movistar Arena in Bogota witnessed an unprecedented milestone in Colombia’s music industry. Beele, one of the most influential voices in the new wave of Latin afrobeats, managed to sell out the venue for seven consecutive dates, setting a historic record no Colombian artist had ever achieved before.

What began as a series of six concerts announced for November 2025 turned into a national phenomenon when, due to overwhelming public demand, a seventh date was confirmed under the slogan: “Six weren’t enough — seven arenas, a historic record.”

The concerts, held between Nov. 14 and 27, 2025, reaffirmed the artist’s strength within the national scene as well as his growing influence on contemporary Latin music. Beele performed live his debut album “Borondo,” a project featuring 26 songs and several hits that have dominated Spotify Colombia’s Top 10.

During the performances, Beele blended Caribbean choreography with a powerful stage production that reflected the vision of his creative team. The show included large-scale screens, immersive visual effects, and a musical narrative that connected with the audience from the very first moment.

One of the elements that most surprised attendees were the special guests. Artists like Ozuna and Nampa Basico joined the Colombian singer on stage, creating unexpected and memorable moments. Each show was different, offering a unique experience to the thousands of fans who filled the arena.

This record positions Beele as one of the most influential artists in Colombia and places him on a level comparable to international figures in the urban genre. For many of his followers, this achievement is a sign that the young artist is reaching a level of global stardom.

Who is Beele? The new voice of latin afrobeats

Behind the phenomenon taking over the world is Brandon De Jesus Lopez Orozco, known artistically as Beele. Born on Sept.ember 30, 2002, in Barranquilla, the 23-year-old artist has established himself as one of the most influential names in Latin afrobeat and dancehall. Since his debut in 2019, Beele has demonstrated an exceptional ability to fuse Caribbean rhythms with contemporary urban sounds, creating a fresh, romantic style deeply rooted in his origins.

Signed to the label Hear This Music, the singer broke into the scene with his hit “Loco,” a song that quickly captured the attention of the Latin public and opened the door for a series of productions that solidified him as a rising star. Some of his standout tracks include “Quedate,” “W Sound 05 – La Plena,” “Top Diesel,” “No Tiene Sentido,” and “Barranquilla Bajo Cero,” the latter a love letter to his hometown.

In 2025, Beele reached a historic milestone: He became the artist with the most songs simultaneously in Billboard Colombia’s Top 10, with four tracks occupying top positions. His hit “W Sound 05 – La Plena” also earned a nomination for Best Urban Performance/Urban Fusion Performance, competing alongside global superstars. Additionally, the artist recently collaborated with Shakira and Ed Sheeran to record the new version of “Hits Don’t Lie,” further expanding his global recognition.
