Puerto Rican recording artist Ricky Martin has embarked on fourteen concert tours over his musical career.
For the American leg, a then-up-and-coming vocalist named Jessica Simpson was featured as the opening act.
It began with a series of concerts in Puerto Rico and North America, with international dates later in the year.
[11] In October 2013, he began his ninth concert tour, Ricky Martin Live in Newcastle, Australia, and continued with dates in the Americas as well as the Mawazine Festival in Rabat, Morocco.
[17] In 2017, Martin headlined his first Las Vegas residency, All In, at the Park Theater (now Dolby Live) at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino.
[22] In addition to his tours and residencies, Martin has performed many of his songs on numerous television programs and awards shows.
The performance is thought to have effectively ushered-in the late-1990s "Latin explosion" in pop music, which saw a noted rise in popularity among Latino and Hispanic artists, such as Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, Marc Anthony, and Christina Aguilera.
