Bad Bunny and the masculinity we want

Bad Bunny continues to make history in the music industry by becoming the first Latin artist to win Album of the Year at the Grammys and by performing at the Super Bowl halftime show, emphasizing cultural pride and social issues.

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican artist, has made historic strides in the music industry, recently becoming the first Latino to win Album of the Year at the Grammys and subsequently performing at the Super Bowl halftime show. His performance was rich in cultural symbolism and engaged a wide array of Latin influences, showcasing his heritage to a global audience.

During the thirteen-minute halftime presentation, Bad Bunny featured prominent artists, including Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, while embracing Latino culture through dance and music. He highlighted various aspects of Puerto Rican life, such as celebrating a real wedding of a Puerto Rican couple and incorporating references to everyday Latino icons, which helped bridge the connection between the audience and the Latino community in America.

In addition to celebrating his culture, Bad Bunny did not shy away from addressing serious issues, pointing out the government's failure to address the ongoing electrical crisis in Puerto Rico. His combination of entertainment and activism positions him not only as a musical icon but as a voice for his community, pushing for acknowledgment of both the arts and the social realities faced by Puerto Ricans today.
