[8]

LatinTimes published an article titled "6 Reasons Why You Should Go To Bachata King's Concert" and said that "attending a Romeo concert is really an experience that you have to live. Not only because of the good Latin vibe that is felt in the environment, but also because of the lights and scenery, plus the opportunity to enjoy him singing completely live".
