Thania Garcia It’s April 27, one day before the first of Rauw Alejandro’s two sold-out concerts at the Los Angeles Forum. His team is gearing up to bring next-level surround sound to the storied arena – which will see Alejandro singing and dancing for nearly three hours on a 360-degree stage – as they’ve done only twice before on the “Saturno World Tour,” in Miami and New York.
