Bad Bunny, set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show for the first time as a solo artist, has been building momentum for his upcoming gig with his trademark blend of catchy beats and biting social commentary.
The Puerto Rican rapper's rise to stardom began years ago when he was bagging groceries at a supermarket in Vega Baja. That's where he started uploading Latin urban music tracks on SoundCloud, which eventually earned him millions of listeners worldwide. Since then, Bad Bunny has become one of the most streamed artists globally, breaking records and pushing the boundaries of reggaeton.
His impact extends beyond the music world; as a global voice of Puerto Rican resistance, he's been using his platform to speak out on social justice issues and celebrate Puerto Rican culture. From advocating for climate change awareness to speaking out against the U.S. government's botched response to Hurricane Maria, Bad Bunny has consistently used his music and performances to raise awareness about pressing issues.
Ahead of the Super Bowl halftime show, fans have been studying up on some essential Spanish phrases that will help them follow along with Bad Bunny's lyrics during the performance. These include terms like "baile inolvidable," which roughly translates to an unforgettable dance, and "flamboyán," a reference to the Puerto Rican crested toad.
For those new to Bad Bunny's music, getting familiar with these phrases will help unlock some of the deeper messages and references hidden within his songs. According to co-creator of the "Bad Bunny Syllabus" Petra Rivera-Rideau, Bad Bunny's music often talks about the struggles faced by Puerto Ricans but also leaves space for happiness and community.
As he takes the stage at the Super Bowl halftime show, Bad Bunny will be the first Spanish-language Latin solo artist to headline the event. While some have criticized his use of profanity or lyrics perceived as divisive, others argue that his music provides a much-needed outlet for self-expression and resistance.
