Duki has transformed Argentine trap music and is now headed to the U.S. for the first time on his Ameri World Tour. The singer discusses his creative process behind his latest album, Ameri, his recent hit “Barro,” his decision not to sign with a major label and more!
Leila Cobo:
Duki, welcome to Billboard! Well, there are many things going on, but let’s talk about the most important thing for me. In 2025, you have your first big tour in the U.S.
Duki:
Exactly.
Are you nervous, excited, both? Do you feel like doing it?
Last year, we had a very nice first tour. I had the chance maybe of going from gigantic stadiums to smaller places, and reconnect with my audience and know them as well because many people had never seen me or it was the first time for them to meet me. And well, this second tour …
Arenas.
Yes, arenas, and I am a bit more nervous. I have to be up to the task. I am super excited, and well, as you know, I come from rap and trap, and being able to sound here and having shows here, where everything happened and was born, is a dream come true.
Now, I saw you in Buenos Aires, playing at River Plate Stadium for 75,000 people, and with a very impressive and nice staging. You also had many friends on stage. You are used to doing these big things. Now, you go to arenas with a capacity for 15,000 people, so do you bring the same idea, but a little bit reduced? Or do you bring the same staging? Are you always thinking big no matter where you are?
Mm…
I don’t know if I am clear.
Keep watching for more!
