RICKY MARTIN IN ISTANBUL
In recent years, global icons like Justin Timberlake and Kanye West have met their fans in Istanbul, and Latin pop star Ricky Martin also reunited with music lovers at KüçükÇiftlik Park in Istanbul after a 15-year hiatus. Before the singer, known for hits such as "Livin' la Vida Loca" and "She Bangs" that topped world charts, took the stage, popular singer Edis performed his well-loved songs.
Martin started the concert, which had long queues at the entrance, with his upbeat songs and occasionally greeted the audience in Turkish, saying "Good evening, thank you." The singer was accompanied on stage by his dance team. At the concert, attendees had the chance to hear the Latin pop star, who last performed his songs in Istanbul in 2011, once again.
Meanwhile, singer Edis noted that the first major concert he attended was Ricky Martin's performance in Istanbul in 1998, and he shared that this concert inspired him to decide to become a performer. With this concert, the famous pop star shared the same stage as Martin.
"I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS DAY"
Additionally, a concertgoer named Dayana Arba said, "I'm very excited, I just heard Edis's name. I learned his songs from my friends. I think it will be great."
Another attendee, Hana Zara, stated, "I'm very excited, I've been living in Turkey for 5-6 years. I waited so long for this day."
