The concert

Fher Olvera changes the lyrics of the song "En el Muelle de San Blas" from San Blas, a Mexican seaside tourist destination, to "San Juan" in order to acknowledge his Puerto Rican audience.

During the last song of the concert, Olvera unfurls a special double flag. It begins with the Mexican flag, then becomes the Puerto Rican flag, to the cheers of the audience.
