Global impact and recognition of Bad Bunny

Overview

Bad Bunny achieved a historic milestone at the Latin Grammy Awards, where his album ‘Debí tirar más fotos’ became the first entirely Spanish-language record to win Album of the Year. During his acceptance speech, the Puerto Rican artist expressed opposition to ICE.

Following this achievement, Uruguayan singer Jorge Drexler praised Bad Bunny for his global impact, stating that the artist has expanded the reach of the Spanish language to unprecedented areas. Drexler also defended the genre of reggaeton, noting that while it faces criticism regarding hypersexuality and misogyny, it has expanded the semantic field of songwriting and integrated various rhythms into a “laboratory of globalization.”
