Summary
Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona performed on Saturday at Estadio Cuscatlán, the first of the two concerts he has scheduled in the country, according to El Diario de Hoy. The outlet describes a show with a set inspired by an old-time cabaret, which the artist called a "cabaret seco" ("dry cabaret"), and says the concert also drew fans from Guatemala and Peru. The PNC said it deployed traffic officers around the venue, carried out preventive searches of concertgoers at the entrances and used its PANTOS unmanned aerial patrol system to monitor the area. The Armed Forces said they supported the PNC with a presence around the stadium.
