As Hurricane Ian batters Florida after knocking out Cuba's entire electrical grid Tuesday, more than 300,000 Puerto Ricans were still without power after Hurricane Fiona hit the island over a week ago. It's drawn parallels to Hurricane Maria, which devastated the island five years ago. With what could be the sixth costliest hurricane in the U.S., response, rescue and repair will likely dwarf support for Puerto Rico, which is still recovering from last week’s Hurricane Fiona.
Still languishing government response keeps artists and activists like Bad Bunny busy spreading the word about government corruption. Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny has been using his platform to bring awareness to Puerto Rico’s political problems. In the latest official music video from the Boricua reggaeton star, Bad Bunny cuts between his song “El Apagón” (the blackout) and a documentary.
The film, by freelance journalist Bianca Graulau, highlights the devastation caused by the displacement of Puerto Ricans due to gentrification and government corruption. The Takeaway speaks with Graulau about her reporting and her work with one of the biggest artists in the world right now.
