Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, 31, speaks proudly of his people. "I have never felt such great gratitude," he attests, clasping his hands in his heart. He knows that the success of his work has brought him a special kind of freedom – announced in 2020 in the title of the album "YHLQMDLG" (acronym for I Do What Gives Me Desire, in free translation). He knows that he could choose any path, collaborate with any artist; stars of Lady Gaga's stature have already made public their desire for a feat with him. But in the end, "doing what you want" this time meant getting closer and closer to who he is to live what really matters to him. It meant talking, more than ever, about Puerto Rico.
Music critics have described "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS", released in January 2025, as the most Puerto Rican album of Bad Bunny's career. Not by chance. All the artists invited to the album are young musicians from the island, until then off the radar of the general public. The seventeen tracks are loaded with extremely intimate lyrics, which move between fun, sexual, sad and always nostalgic themes, using as a common thread the longing for a love that is gone. A metaphor for the transformation of the island, whose controversial status as an unincorporated territory of the United States has led to a series of violations, deaths and other serious problems since the North American nation invaded Puerto Rico and expelled Spanish colonizers in 1898, and has never left.
"My social conscience has developed over time, but it has always existed. I was a boy with a conscience. Not so much of being aware of what was going on politically, but of wanting to do good things within what for me are good things. Of denouncing injustices since school. As time went by, I learned more," she says.
