Bad Bunny’s unshakable pride in his Puerto Rican roots takes center stage in his latest release, Debí Tirar Más Fotos. A bold follow-up to 2023’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, this album sees the global reggaeton superstar doubling down as both a musical innovator and a vocal advocate for his home island. Across 17 meticulously crafted tracks—all recorded live in Puerto Rico—Bad Bunny weaves a sonic tapestry that’s as much a love letter to his homeland as it is a rallying cry for its future.
Collaborating with generation-spanning artists like RaiNao and Pleneros de la Cresta, Debí Tirar Más Fotos embodies Puerto Rico’s rich musical legacy while pushing its sound forward. The album merges traditional Caribbean rhythms with Bad Bunny’s signature sunny reggaeton beats, creating a lush, celebratory soundscape that feels deeply authentic. From the infectious hooks to the layered live instrumentation, every detail pays homage to the island’s cultural vibrancy.
But Debí Tirar Más Fotos isn’t just an auditory celebration—it’s a statement. Bad Bunny uses his platform to delve into the pressing sociopolitical issues facing Puerto Rico today, from economic inequality to the ongoing debate over its independence. Tracks like “Boricua Pa’l Mundo” and “Sin Nombre” grapple with themes of resilience and resistance, reflecting the collective struggles and hopes of Puerto Ricans. This balance of activism and artistry underscores his commitment to not just representing Puerto Rico in his music, but fighting for its future.
True to its title, Debí Tirar Más Fotos feels like a snapshot of Puerto Rico in all its beauty and complexity. It’s an album that bridges nostalgia with progress, tradition with experimentation, and joy with defiance. With this release, Bad Bunny reaffirms not only his status as a global icon but as a cultural force for his island—a voice as unyielding as the waves that surround it.
