“After seeing how our fans received our tour in Colombia together, I am looking forward to sharing the stage with Blessd once again. It has always been a dream of mine for my music to also be heard outside of my country and with this being my third tour in the U.S, shows that I am successfully exporting Colombian Reggeaton to key markets. With this collaborative venture, Blessd and I will continue representing our people and culture.”- Ryan Castro.
Both artists have previously toured the U.S market separately, Ryan Castro with his sold-out “Ghetto Star Tour” and Blessd with “Blessd Corner Tour.” Now with their joint North American trek, “AY BENDITO GHETTO,” named aptly after their nicknames, they add bigger venues and dates as a sign of their rapidly growing fanbases.
"This tour in the US with Ryan is something very special for me because together we gained recognition out of the same song, and have proven that through our collaborative work great results come about. Both our teams are very close and have a real brotherhood bond because we all know each other and have worked together in the past, so the shows we are going to give are going to be amazing!" ... Blessd mentions.
