Time and time again Bad Bunny has proven that he's strongest creatively when he anchors himself to the island and if DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS is to be believed, home is where he's insistent on staying.
Time and time again Bad Bunny has proven that he's strongest creatively when he anchors himself to the island and if's sonic universe, Puerto Rican pride couldn't be more infectious. The superstar released his sixth studio album this week and it's a collection of joyful rhythms and rallying anthems.
The global superstar has released a number of politically explicit tracks through the years, including"El Apagón" from his 2022 album"Afilando Los Cuchillos" calling for the ousting of then Governor Ricardo Rosselló. Last year he released the one-off single"Una Velita" to drum up energy for the coming election and once again call attention to a crumbling infrastructure on the island.
Historically, however, not all of Bad Bunny's music has been overtly political. In fact, most of his music lives solidly in the party and heartbreak spaces . Under disco lights, on tear-stained cheeks, his most powerful messages shine.
While the 30-year-old singer insists he's not trying to be political — just expressing what he feels — Bad Bunny is once again capturing global attention for imminent Puerto Rican struggles by making the personal political. Rising issues of gentrification and irresponsible tourism are leveraged for emotional expression, comparing the negative fallout of tourism on his island to his very own experience as a jilted lover.
Throughout the early late 1960s and early 70s, the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York City was key to updating the sound and feel of Cubanand mambo, most notably through the Fania Records label. By referencing a visit to New York for just a summer with a song by a band that now has over 60 years of longevity, Bad Bunny seems to be celebrating the music that for many years seemed to be the life force of the island until the later development of reggaeton.
