For twenty years, I taught a course on Latin American political thought. What is the significance of Bad Bunny’s show? Bad Bunny’s show began with images of what may have been his barrio in Puerto Rico — or what, based on nostalgia, he may think it was. In Bad Bunny’s show, the choice to define America as the variegated flags of the American continent’s nations is almost a direct reference to Martí. Many may deride Bad Bunny’s style of singing, but this is beside the point.
