(Variety) – Karol G’s “Bichotella” set at Coachella on Sunday night put the young Latin star’s magnetism on display in an electrifying, arena-level performance.

“Next stop — Coachella!” could be heard as the reggaeton and Latin trap singer made her entrance onto the barrio-themed stage, emblazoned with the words “Tusa” and “Bichotella.” Blue wigs flooded the rows of enraptured fans that watched Karol serve every line through a smile that stayed throughout the entirety of her hour-long set.

In true “Bichota” fashion, Karol stopped mid-show to take a shot with her audience saying, “Hoy es día de brindar, porque los sueños se cumplen, porque estoy aqui compartiendo con ustedes, y lo mas importante nos vamos a tomar [el shot] por el amor.”

In English: “Today is the day to toast, because dreams come true, because I am here sharing this with you, and most importantly, we are going to take [the shot] for love,” she said before the corrido-styled prickly guitar riff of “200 Copas” segued to the next number.

Saluting those who paved the way for Latin artists in mainstream pop, a visual popped up on the massive screens offering a musical timeline of influential hit songs, starting with the year 1953 and Ritchie Valens’ “La Bamba,” followed by Santana’s 1970s classic “Oye Como Va” and Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine’s 1980s smash “La Conga.”

As the screens behind her flashed legendary scenes of Tejano music star, Selena Quintanilla (whose 50th birthday was on April 16) — Karol continued her tribute with a cover of “Como La Flor.”
