  "account": "Rawayana, the beloved trippy-pop band, brought a Venezuelan-style Halloween party to New York City's Barclays Center on Saturday night, October 31. The sold-out crowd of nearly 12,000 people danced the night away to hits like \"Uber,\" \"Feriado,\" and \"Hora Loca.\" Band members donned costumes, including Beto with dreadlocks, Fofo in a short, sleek bob wig, Abeja in an 80s-style hair-metal wig, and Tony dressed as a woman.\n\nThe concert opened on the main stage, with visuals alternating between tropical scenes and song-inspired imagery, accompanied by smoke columns and confetti. The band later moved to a second stage in the middle of the audience, fueling the party with tracks like \"Si Te Pica Es Porque Eres Tú,\" \"Que Rico PR,\" and \"Veneka.\" Special guests Cheo Pardo and Yorghaki added to the excitement. Pardo, a former member of Los Amigos Invisibles, performed as a priest DJ, while Yorghaki, initially seen in a Spider-Man costume, revealed himself and performed \"abusadOra\" with Beéle.\n\nVenezuelan flags adorned the crowd, alongside flags from Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and other Latin American nations. To honor the victims of the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela in June, Beto performed \"Tonada Por Ella\" among the crowd, inviting attendees to donate to Fundación El After, a nonprofit organization Rawayana established for recovery efforts. The sold-out U.S. leg of Rawayana's ¿Dónde Es El After? World Tour continues with shows in Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, and concludes in Miami on December 6.",
