Bad Bunny’s Emotional Concert in Puerto Rico
Bad Bunny recently closed his 31-day residency "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" in El Choli, Puerto Rico, with a special appearance by Marc Anthony. The pair performed a powerful duet of "Preciosa", a hymnic ballad that serves as a warm tribute to the island. This iconic song, composed by Rafael Hernández Marín in 1937, is considered one of Puerto Rico’s unofficial national anthems.
A Historic Duet
Before Marc Anthony joined him on stage, Bad Bunny mentioned that he hadn’t sung "Preciosa" in over 20 years. As Anthony entered the stage to a thunderous applause from the packed arena, the two artists shared an emotional moment. They started the song, and Anthony pulled Bad Bunny into a heartfelt hug. The two held each other, whispered words, and shared a moment that only they could understand.
Special Guests and Performances
The "Una Más" ("One More") show featured other local favorites, including Dei V, ñengo Flow, Arcángel, de la Ghetto, and Rainao. Chuwi also joined Bad Bunny for their collaboration "Welita", which they performed together every night of the three-month residency. Additionally, the pioneering reggaeton duo Jowell and Randy made a surprise appearance, singing their own hits just 10 minutes before the end of the concert. The entire show lasted about four hours, showcasing the best of Puerto Rican music.
Global Streaming and Initiative
The concert was streamed live on Amazon Music and Twitch channels worldwide, allowing fans from all over the globe to experience the magic of the show. The performance will also be available on the platform for 24 hours after the initial streaming on Saturday evening. Moreover, Amazon Music and Bad Bunny announced an extensive initiative focused on promoting education, cultural strengthening, and economic development in Puerto Rico. This program aims to create positive changes in the island by offering enriched STEM curriculum, technological resources, and educational support for students and teachers.
Giving Back to the Community
The initiative also includes programs to support farmers and improve access to fresh products, contributing to the overall well-being of the community. By partnering with Amazon Music, Bad Bunny is using his platform to make a meaningful impact on his homeland. This residency and initiative demonstrate his commitment to promoting Puerto Rican culture and supporting the island’s development.
