Bad Bunny's highly anticipated 30-concert residency in Puerto Rico has begun, generating immense excitement and dubbed "Bad Bunny mania." The first nine shows are exclusively for Puerto Rican residents, showcasing the island's pride and resilience amidst economic challenges. The sold-out concerts, viewed as a symbol of self-reliance, highlight Puerto Rican culture and history, particularly addressing themes of displacement and colonialism explored in Bad Bunny's latest album. The residency will be followed by a world tour excluding the US, a move interpreted as a political statement reflecting Bad Bunny's criticism of US policies.
