It is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio AKA Bad Bunny’s year. In January, he released Debi Tirar Mas Fotos, his sixth album, with great reception from audience and critics and a heavy influence of Puerto Rican culture and sounds. In July he started a two-month gig residency in San Juan, which has boosted the island's economy, and in November he will start a world tour that is largely sold out.
It’s a huge deal every year- in 2024 it had about 124 million viewers in the US, making it the most watched broadcast since the 1969 Moon landing.
In a recent interview Bad Bunny ruled out an American tour out of fear that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents could do raids at his concerts. The BBC's Nathalie Jimenez tells us more about this Super Bowl announcement and Bad Bunny's success. We also hear from Fiama, from Puerto Rico, who's been lucky enough to see one of his shows.
