Nearly 7,000 fans packed Roig Arena as Puerto Rican urban star Bryant Myers ripped through more than 50 tracks, taking Valencia on a whistle-stop tour through the sounds that helped shape Latin trap.

Bryant Myers didn't exactly ease Valencia into Wednesday night. He hit the Roig Arena running, unleashing more than 50 songs across a career-spanning set that had nearly 7,000 people singing, shouting and bouncing along from the opening bars.

For an artist whose name is firmly welded to the evolution of Latin trap and contemporary música urbana, it was a suitably heavyweight setting. Roig Arena might be Valencia's newest giant venue, but for one night it became a very different beast, with Bryant Myers supplying the soundtrack.

The set reached deep into the catalogue, pulling out some of the collaborations and tracks that helped push the Puerto Rican sound far beyond its Caribbean roots. “Cuatro Babys” was one of the big early detonations, the global hit providing an immediate reminder of just how far Latin trap has travelled, having passed the billion-stream mark.

Then came “On Fleek”, his collaboration with Anuel AA, followed by “Gan-Ga”, the viral phenomenon that spawned a string of international remixes and became another defining moment in the genre's rise.

The crowd had plenty to sing about, too, with “El Efecto Remix” and “Hasta Abajo” landing with the sort of recognition that needs no introduction. The words came from the stage; thousands of voices supplied the rest.

But the night wasn't simply about maximum-volume trap. Myers also shifted gears for the more melodic and introspective side of his catalogue, bringing “Un Ratito Más” and “Pa Ti”, his collaborations with Bad Bunny, into the mix.

That change of pace offered a glimpse of the broader range behind the artist, moving between hard-edged trap, melodic urban music and the collaborative tracks that have become such a defining part of his career.

And then came the closer. “Tanta Falta” — arguably the most emblematic solo track in the Bryant Myers catalogue — brought the night towards its final peak, with the Puerto Rican star signing off in front of thousands of fans inside Roig Arena.

More than 50 songs, nearly 7,000 people and a catalogue that stretches across some of the most recognisable sounds in Latin urban music: Bryant Myers came to Valencia with plenty of history to cover, and Roig Arena was more than big enough for it.
