El Alfa is hitting the road this year for the last time in his two-decade career.
On Tuesday (May 13), the Dominican artist announced his farewell tour, El Último Baile, with 34 confirmed dates. The “King of Dembow,” known for hits such as “La Mamá de la Mamá,” “La Romana” and “Singapur,” will kick off the stint on June 4 at the Avant Gardner in New York and will wrap Nov. 30 at Orlando’s House of Blues.
In addition to touring the U.S., El Alfa will visit fans in Europe and Latin America, with dates already set for Spain, Mexico, Chile and Germany, to name a few.
In January, the artist announced his retirement from music and a social media break, following the death of his grandmother Ramonita.
“Her happiness was to see me succeed, but I can’t even stay awake!!,” he expressed in an Instagram post. “I say goodbye momentarily to my audience that loves me. I’ll be back soon, goodbye Instagram. I could have spent more time with her but my work didn’t allow it. The days of my retirement are getting shorter. On December 18th of this year, I will never sing again. Rest in peace grandma. I love you.”
Tickets for El Último Baile go on sale at noon local time on Thursday (May 15) through El Alfa’s official website.
