Nicki Nicole kicked off her Alma Tour USA — her first in the United States — and the Argentine singer-songwriter and rapper is performing all her fan-favorite songs, from “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 13” to “Dispara,” “8 AM,” “Qué Le Pasa Conmigo?” and more.
The first concert of the tour took place Sunday (Sept. 22) at Irving Plaza in New York City, a venue with a capacity of 1,200, and it was sold out. Accompanied by bassist and musical director Juan Kuj, drummer K2, and keyboardist Benja Rampoldi — and dressed in white mini shorts and crop top with triangular cutouts at the torso and blue platform boots — Nicki opened the set with her 2019 collaboration with Bizarrap, immediately setting the mood for a fun, energetic night.
Throughout an hour-and-a-half, she kept a mostly young audience eating from the palm of her hand, singing not only songs from her latest album, Alma, but also hits from her previous LP, Parte De Mí, as well as collaborations with other artists (which played on recordings while Nicki sang live) and more recent singles like “Ojos Verdes.”
She also received gifts from her fans — flags, flowers, and others — and pleased a small group of fans who asked to come on stage to take photos with her in a handwritten sign she managed to read among the audience.
“Thank you all so much for being here. I can’t believe it,” said Nicki evidently excited to be there, amid cheers from the crowd. “I truly love you. Thank you so much.”
Nicki Nicole’s seven-date U.S. tour continues on Wednesday (Sept. 25) in Houston, followed by stops in Dallas, Miami, Chicago, and San Diego, before ending on Oct. 4 in Los Angeles. After this, the Argentine star will travel to Mexico to perform at the capital’s iconic National Auditorium on Oct. 8, and on Oct. 12 at Fundidora Park in the city of Monterrey.
