“We had a Latin season. We started it off with Enrique Iglesias, Ochoa, the Hemingway Jazz Festival and Ricky Martin, the icing on the cake. When a small country like our country produces a big star, like someone who comes from Cuba, Puerto Rico, it shows the power of great people to elevate even small countries. I am proud because Ricky is also the marketing agent of Tirana and Albania and today I am really grateful that you came to Tirana with your friends to energize us. I’m sure that more than a concert, it will be a joint singing, with thousands of people in the square, who can’t wait to give you that warm Albanian energy and I wish you to come back. Perhaps, one day you will find a second home here and have a piece of your presence in Albania. As a sign of respect and gratitude, on behalf of all the citizens of Tirana, I would like to present you with the Key of the City of Tirana, as a symbol of an open door, an open heart and an open mind, and as a reminder that it is always time to return to Albania with your key in pocket,” said Veliaj.

While the famous singer Ricky Martin thanked the mayor Veliaj for the hospitality adding that he will talk about the Albanians and their positive energy everywhere.

“Surprise after surprise. I am super grateful for the invitation. It is a great surprise to meet you. I felt at home from the moment I came here. I will take with me the spirit of Albanians and I will talk about Albanians wherever I go because it is amazing to be here. Tonight we will see exchange of energy between the audience and what we bring from Puerto Rico, which is passion, love, honesty, transparency. It will be very special!,” said singer Ricky Martin.
