Puerto Rican singer Ozuna attended rap battles at Plaza de la Democracia in San José on March 15, following his performance at the Picnic festival. The artist, known for songs such as “Taki Taki” and “Se preparó,” shared videos of his visit on his Instagram stories.
Ozuna’s appearance surprised many, as it is uncommon for international stars to attend local events in this way. His presence brought attention to the freestyle rap scene in Costa Rica, which typically draws small crowds.
According to posts shared by Ozuna, he sat among the audience at the plaza, watching young Costa Rican rappers perform. In one video, a child can be heard asking him for a photo. Ozuna replied, “SÃ, claro que sÃ,” agreeing to take the picture.
The rapper’s decision to highlight local talent on his social media was well received by fans and participants alike. While he did not appear directly in the video he posted, his voice and interaction with attendees were audible.
Ozuna’s actions have drawn positive reactions from both fans and members of the local music community. Observers say that such gestures from international artists can help bring greater visibility to emerging talent.
