Description

«Aquíiacute; mataron gente por sacar la bandera / por eso es que ahora yo la llevo donde quiera».-«LA MuDANZA»


Como la de innumerables puertorriqueñntilde;os, la vida de la superestrella global Bad Bunny --Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio-- ha transcurrido entre apagones, huracanes, corrupcióoacute;n política y opresión. Estas experiencias no solo han marcado su trayectoria, sino que revelan el impacto continuo del colonialismo en Puerto Rico, un trasfondo que resuena en muchas de sus canciones.


Este libro ofrece una mirada úuacute;nica y poderosa: un viaje por el pasado de la isla y una visión esperanzadora del futuro a travéeacute;s de una de sus voces máaacute;s universales y comprometidas. A través de entrevistas exclusivas con músicos, políticos y periodistas, y apoyadas en una rigurosa investigación etnográfica, las autoras presentan a Bad Bunny en toda su dimensión, situando su música y su figura en el contexto histórico, político y cultural de nuestro tiempo.


Vanessa Díaz y Petra R. Rivera-Rideau, creadoras del aclamado Bad Bunny Syllabus, revelan cómo el artista forma parte de una larga tradición puertorriqueña que combina alegría y protesta, y que sigue alimentando la resistencia diaria en la isla.


«Una reflexión profunda sobre la postura de Bad Bunny acerca de la raza y el género, teniendo en cuenta no solo la vida y la carrera del cantante, sino también la historia reciente de Puerto Rico». --Jorell Meléndez-Badillo, Autor de Puerto Rico: Historia de una Nación

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


"Here they killed people for raising the flag / that's why now I carry it everywhere."--"LA MuDANZA"


Like that of countless Puerto Ricans, the life of global superstar Bad Bunny --Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio-- has unfolded amid blackouts, hurricanes, political corruption, and oppression. These experiences have not only shaped his career but also reveal the ongoing impact of colonialism in Puerto Rico, a backdrop that resonates throughout many of his songs.


This book offers a unique and powerful perspective: a journey through the island's past and a hopeful vision of its future, seen through one of its most universal and committed voices. Through exclusive interviews with musicians, politicians, and journalists, supported by rigorous ethnographic research, the authors present Bad Bunny in his full dimension, situating his music and persona within the historical, political, and cultural context of our time.


Vanessa Díaz and Petra R. Rivera-Rideau, creators of the acclaimed Bad Bunny Syllabus, reveal how the artist is part of a long Puerto Rican tradition that blends joy and protest, continuing to fuel daily resistance on the island.


"A profound reflection on Bad Bunny's stance on race and gender, considering not only the singer's life and career but also Puerto Rico's recent history." --Jorell Meléndez-Badillo, Author of Puerto Rico: History of a Nation
