“Barranquilla has proved that no dream is too big, that we turn dreams into reality. We are literally living a dream.”

“We’re convinced that this project will bring joy, happiness, jobs and opportunities to our people.”

“This project is also a 15-to-20-year projection of Barranquilla because this is a unique urban development opportunity for Barranquilla."

“It’s wonderful to be coming here. As Universal Music, we will be acting contributing in two ways. First, we will work on the Arena and concerts, and in another area that I love which are the music and creativity studios."

“What we want to focus on here in Colombia is creating more platforms of this magnitude that have changed the outlook, because when this happens, tourism grows, investment grows, everything grows. So, thanks to the orange economy and the presidency’s efforts, this is a crucial step towards our goal.“

“I feel that many people didn’t think this could ever happen, to which I always tell them – You never thought someone from Barranquilla would ever have a game-winning hit in a game 7 of the World Series – yet here we are, we’ve accomplished that, and I believe this will be a dream come true.”

“We have resurrected something we have always known, that with Barranquilla’s strategic location, the board walk is the perfect location for this project, right in front of Magdalena river and its outlet with the cruise port, and the city’s policies that gives investors confidence.”
