The Cuban trumpeter Arturo Sandoval was one of the major highlights of Karol G’s historic headline show at Coachella 2026, as he took the stage to perform alongside the Colombian artist their song "Ivonny Bonita" in front of a crowd that cheered him on with applause.
At the end of this popular piece by the Colombian artist, Sandoval picked up his trumpet and showcased all his virtuosity during the performance of "Ivonny Bonita." An artificial cave illuminated in shades of green visually framed the moment, elevating the staging to another level.
Sandoval, winner of nine Grammy Awards, with 17 nominations, once again demonstrated why he is considered a living legend of jazz and Cuban music, earning a standing ovation from the audience gathered at the festival.
Karol G performed on Sunday at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, becoming the first Latina artist to headline the festival in its 27-year history, a milestone she acknowledged from the stage: "I am the first Latina to headline Coachella... it feels late."
Karol G's show included 27 songs and a series of star-studded collaborations that turned her performance into a historic spectacle. Among the most emotional moments, the artist also paid tribute to Gloria Estefan by singing Mi Tierra, on a night filled with references to Latin culture.
