I think we can all agree Bad Bunny fever is everywhere. His life is being made into a movie, Marvel is making him into a superhero and his new album, “Un Verano Sin Ti’ got 183 million streams in one day. On the album, Bad Bunny, recorded a song titled “El Apagon’. On the song he samples from Ismael Rivera’s 1969 ‘Controversia‘, an iconic Rumba that speaks of empowerment and calls upon the ancestors, even referencing the Spanish moors with his chants of “ale lo lai le lo lei”. Listen to this  conversation with ethnomusicologist, writer and bandleader Aurora Flores as we break down what Controversia is really about.
