El Alfa at Texas Trust CU Theatre

If you haven’t heard, the King of Debow literally announced at the bottom of his tour poster that he’s walking away from music in December 2025. Therefore, this stop at the Texas Trust CU Theatre could very well be his last in the region … literally ever! There’s not too much clarity on why he’s making that decision. El Alfa has been part of the Dominican Dembow movement since the mid-2010s. One of the things that actually helped him launch his career was getting community service for some sketchy lyrics about the local government. That incident allowed him to take a step forward in the DR. From there, he’s been able to take over Spanish music as a whole.

One of the coolest things about El Alfa is that you don’t necessarily have to know all of the words to “Takata” or “Bebe” to be able to enjoy the show. What most people are going to be here for are just those tropical beats and vibes that are hard to get anywhere else. It creates a little bit of a beach club vibe to the event. That’s not something that you can find in Texas on every corner. Knowing this, you may want to convince even your non-Spanish-speaking friends to tag along. Many of them may have gone to Daddy Yankee concerts back in the day. Debow is more tropical than reggaeton, but they’re close relatives. That means that many different people can enjoy the show.

The area right next to the stage at the Texas Trust CU Theatre is where things are going to be heating up the most on that September night. If you’re a fan of El Alfa it’s going to be worth it to get one of these tickets. He said he’s quitting music! There’s no telling how long that retirement is going to be, but also who knows if or when he comes, what type of show he’ll be putting on. The stage is visible from everywhere at the Texas Trust. No issues there; if you want to grab a seat on the upper levels with more legroom to dance, that could work as well. Just make sure to click the get tickets button soon!
