When one took the lead on a song, the other provided backup vocals, danced or interacted with the band, further emphasizing the camaraderie they maintained throughout the performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe rendition of \u201cMenor\u201d led to one of the most anticipated moments of the concert: inviting a fan from the audience to join them on stage and sing. After a first attempt that didn\u2019t quite hit the mark, a second fan took over and won the crowd\u2019s applause.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1024px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image   lrv-u-margin-t-125 u-padding-b-10 u-margin-t-26@mobile-max lrv-u-display-inline-block lrv-u-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((683\/1024)*100%);\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-billboard-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Romeo-Santos-Prince-Royce-2-Madrid-cr-Marina-Baeza-billboard-1800.jpg.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Romeo Santos and Prince Royce play at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano during their Mejor Tarde Que Nunca Tour, on July 25, 2026 in Madrid, Spain. \" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Romeo-Santos-Prince-Royce-2-Madrid-cr-Marina-Baeza-billboard-1800.jpg.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Romeo-Santos-Prince-Royce-2-Madrid-cr-Marina-Baeza-billboard-1800.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Romeo-Santos-Prince-Royce-2-Madrid-cr-Marina-Baeza-billboard-1800.jpg.jpg?resize=681,454 681w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 100vw\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column a-font-accent-xs lrv-u-color-black u-margin-t-n4px lrv-u-padding-lr-00@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-b-1 u-font-size-11 u-line-height-19px u-word-spacing-n0156px u-letter-spacing-0026 u-padding-b-0625@mobile-max\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"\">Romeo Santos and Prince Royce play at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano during their Mejor Tarde Que Nunca Tour, on July 25, 2026 in Madrid, Spain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"u-letter-spacing-0094 lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-font-size-10 u-margin-t-2px\">Marina Baeza<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAs the show neared its end, a food cart resembling the traditional <em>chimi<\/em> stands of the Dominican Republic appeared onstage, doubling as a DJ booth; chimis \u2014 a type of meat sandwich \u2014 are a staple of Dominican street food.
