Overview


Stage and design

The duo stated that the stage in Puerto Rico cost around US$100,000. "The idea behind the theme was that this was a revolution in music," said lighting/scenic/video designer Todd Roberts of Visions Lighting LLC (Placenta, California), who worked with Wisin y Yandel's personal lighting designer/programmer David Ayala, video director Alfredo Cifredo and production manager Eggie Allende to design and create the set. "They wanted to the look of the stage to be real industrial. We used a lot of large oversized chain, and a lot of metals." As far as the lighting went, "they wanted it to look as big as possible," said Roberts, "with a small budget." At Luna Park in Buenos Aires, the stage was 360 degrees. It was the first time in 27 years that an artist had used this type of stage at the venue; the previous was Frank Sinatra. Because this reason, the concert was named "La Revolución en 360".
