Daddy Yankee at Wolf Trap on 9/17/17

Wolf Trap closed the summer season on Sunday at the Filene Center in Vienna, Va., with the international hit maker Daddy Yankee. It was a night filled with dancing and music as two separate Zumba flash mobs formed shortly after doors opened. Coming from Puerto Rico, the producer and rapper has become famous for his mixture of Latin and Caribbean beats that have elevated him to the top of the music charts with hits like “Gasolina,” “Rompe,” and the undisputed song of the summer “Despacito.” He put on an exciting performance as the choreographed dancers backflipped around the stage and air cannons shot out massive streams of smoke. The entire event was an experience I would recommend to anyone looking for an exciting time. It was a giant party from the time the doors opened.  This year’s summer line up shows a promising change in the type of acts that we will start to see at the historic venue known for its orchestras and ballets.
