One person I met, Vivian Gomez, 37, a Mexican American resident of Orange County, told me Bad Bunny opened her eyes to Puerto Rico’s plight. and is a mega-celebrity.Īwaiting his set, I chatted with others in the crowd.

It fueled speculation that he might abandon anticolonial activism and lose touch with Puerto Rico now that he owns a mansion in L.A. There have been rumors that he’s dating Kendall Jenner, who is seen by some people as a queen of cultural appropriation. Like many fans, I was curious to see how political he’d get. “El Apagón,” about Puerto Rico’s ongoing blackouts and colonial status and about how everybody wants to be Latino but they lack sazón (a spice blend my abuelita always uses), lit a Boricua pride in me, which can be hard to sustain in California, where only 0.6% of people are Puerto Rican and most know little about the U.S.

I can feel the flames on my skin He says, 'Don't throw away a good thing' But if he drops my name, then I owe him nothin' And if he spends my change, then he had it comin' They say I did something bad Then why's it feel so good? They say I did something bad But why's it feel so good? Most fun I ever had And I'd do it over and over and over again if I could It just felt so good, good It just felt so good They're burning all the witches even if you aren't one They got their pitchforks and proof, their receipts and reasons They're burning all the witches even if you aren't one And it's just for fun They're burning all the witches even if you aren't one They got pitchforks and proof, they don't need their reasons They're burning all the witches even if you aren't one So light me up (light me up), light me up (light me up) Light me up, go ahead and light me up (light me up) Light me up (light me up), light me up (light me up) Light me up ohh Light me up (light me up), light me up (light me up) Light me up ohh Light me up (light me up), light me up (light me up) Light me up ohh Light me up, light me up, light me up Go ahead and light me up.I was never a fan of reggaeton until I heard Bad Bunny’s political songs.
