Background

In May 2001, Reuters reported Lopez was to film a television concert special for NBC. After her performance at the 2001 Video Music Awards, Lopez announced she will perform two concerts in Puerto Rico. She commented on her decision to perform in Puerto Rico stating, " €¦t’s where I’m from, it’s where my roots are, it’s where my parents were born. I was born in New York, but I was raised very Puerto Rican. To be able to come here, it’s my homeland in a way. To be able to do my first show, it’s an amazing feeling." The concerts marks Lopez's first "touring" experience since her music debut in 1999. She describes the experience as:

I do a tribute to Selena because that movie and getting to know her after the fact and to play her on screen was such a moving experience for me."
The shows were conceptualized by Lopez's former husband,
