Bad Bunny's "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" is a rejection of an Americanized Puerto Rico

Salon  

For international superstar Bad Bunny, his island, Puerto Rico, is a fruitful well of inspiration. In his sixth studio album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" or in English, "I Should Have Taken More Photos," Bad Bunny travels back to his barrio's roots. Critics have hailed the album "a love letter" to Puerto Rico," and that's true, but "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" also sheds a harsh light on the plight of everyday Puerto Ricans and the ever-changing landscape that locals are so desperately attempting to hold onto. The issues plaguing Puerto Rico "Debí Tirar Más Fotos'" release couldn't have come at a more pertinent time for Puerto Rico. In "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," Bad Bunny calls for a halt to gentrification and the island's cultural erosion at the hands of American intervention.
