Romeo Santos’ tour in Fresno included pyrotechnic explosions, a bathtub and lots of noise

Pyrotechnic explosions! Yes, that’s right. Romeo Santos’ concert at the Save Mart Center Wednesday night to kick off his ‘Formula Vol. 3 North America Tour’ included a few pyrotechnic explosions throughout his almost two-hour performance.

With his sensual movements, the king of bachata took the stage a little after 9 p.m. dressed in a simple but elegant blue suit.

“Fresno, make some noise,” said Romeo Santos who spoke to fans in English and Spanish.

And Fresno fans sure did make noise. Lots of noise actually. When he danced, when he raised his glass to toast to México and made a toast to love, when he dedicated songs to fans, when he appeared in a bathtub on stage. Yes, a bathtub.

Pretty much fans made noise for anything the singer, songwriter, performer, mogul, actor and producer did and said on stage.

“Mi Republica Dominicana (Dominican Republic), Puerto Rico en la casa (in the house), Ecuador en la casa (in the house) El Salvador en la casa (in the house), Honduras, Panama, Chile, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Colombia,” Romeo Santos said as he made a pause. “Mexicooooooooo!”

The Save Mart Center roared.

Fans – women, man, young and old - showed Romeo Santos their love.

Fans sang along with his songs “a todo pulmón” (from the top of their lungs). And even Romeo Santos gave fans a grade for their efforts – a 9.5 teasing them that some didn’t know the exact lyrics.

“I am demanding, and I want a 10.”

The “Romeistas” – as Romeo Santos call his fans who have followed his more than two decades solo career – were in the house.

But his “Aventureros”, as he calls his fans from his time in the legendary group Aventura, were present. And he was more than happy to take them back in time with some of the songs from his time in Aventura.

It was not a bad way to spend a Wednesday night in the company of Romeo Santos and all his fans. The energy at the Save Mart Center was electrifying.

For his Fresno stop, Romeo Santos and promoter surprised Fresno and Madera schools and non-profit foundations the day before with tickets to attend his concert
