The Puerto Rican group Chuwi has proven that perseverance pays off. After years working as waiters to fund their music, they are now the opening act for Bad Bunny on his "Debí tirar más fotos" tour, which lands in Madrid. Their story serves as an example of how effort and talent can open doors in an industry where many seek to make a living from their art.
The Technical Backstage: How a Tour of This Caliber is Managed 🎛️
Behind every concert lies a complex technical ecosystem. Chuwi has had to adapt to large-format sound systems, such as L-Acoustics K2 speaker arrays, and digital consoles like the Avid Venue S6L. Synchronizing tracks, in-ear monitors, and DMX lighting requires prior rehearsals and fluid communication with Bad Bunny's team. It's not just talent; it's also about handling protocols and hardware.
The Trick to Not Returning the Glasses: Play Better Than the Bartender 🍻
The best part is that Chuwi no longer has to worry about being kicked out of the venue for playing too loud. Now, their biggest dilemma is whether to order catering from the dressing room or go to the hot dog stand on the corner. And mind you, if they used to leave a tip to keep the microphone, now Bad Bunny pays them to use it. Of course, their skill at serving beer without foam still comes in handy for calming impatient fans.
