Pitbull Brings the Party to Cincinnati

Rebecca Potzner

If anyone knows how to throw a party, it’s Pitbull.

The international superstar brought his Party After Dark tour to Cincinnati’s Riverbend for a sold out show to close out their Summer season. With his music spanning a solid decade, it was no surprise that the crowd was comprised of a wide age range and quite a few bald caps.

T-Pain came out strong, dropping his bangers throughout the years and showing off his dance moves.

The lights went dark and it was time for Mr. Worldwide to take the stage! Bright Lights, big screens with neon graphics, and pyro took over along with a full band.

It was exciting to see Pitbull backed by a full band who exuded just as much energy as he did. The saxophonist even came out to the edge of the stage and worked the crowd.

Mr. Worldwide stepped onto the stage with a giant boom and was accompanied by 6 talented and incredibly beautiful dancers. The whole scene felt like a Miami/Vegas party! The energy was high as everyone sang and danced along with the,. Pitbull and the dancers worked the stage and kept the vibes high.

Pitbull was incredibly engaging with the crowd. Throughout the night, he’d invite the crowd to sing along with him (even if we were already doing so). He even took time to chat about the importance of music and coming together as people.

“Music reminds us that we Bleed the same blood, breather the same air. “

With a handful of collaborations, it only felt right for T-Pain to come back out to perform with Pitbull. Dressed in red and yellow suits, the two entertainers jumped around the stage performing ‘Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)’. The place was JUMPIN’!

As the night went on, Pitbull really showed us his true colors. He isn’t just a party guy, he also cares about his community. He shared with us a story about a teacher that changed his life and how he went on to open up a school in Miami. He went on to thank the crowd for showing up and supporting him so he can continue to support the school and help open up more schools in other communities.

A grateful king, Pitbull also took time to thank his dancers, his band, DJ, and even his production team. A high energy party is always a good time but a grateful host is truly the cherry on top.
