Everyone is talking about Bad Bunny. And not just because of the magnitude and buzz of the twelve macro-concerts he's doing between Madrid and Barcelona these weeks, but for a decision that is as aesthetic as it is intentional and has tinged the tour of the album Debí tirar más fotos: the placement of an element that functions as a second stage during the show and has become the height of exclusivity. It is La Casita, a reproduction of a traditional house from Puerto Rico, intended to be a symbol of the singer's identity and his native country, but which has received a shower of criticism for lack of inclusivity and for sexism.

In the first Bad Bunny concert in Barcelona, fans who had paid five hundred euros to enjoy the show from the VIP area posted very distressing videos on social media. Trapped in a supposedly privileged space, they were compressed, with no possibility of moving. They were stuck against each other as if they were traveling on the worst Renfe routes. Some videos showed people crushed against the fences, asking staff for help to leave that place, lamenting an inhumane situation that barely allowed them to breathe. The organization has contradicted the complaints, but, in any case, the situation for fans who had spent the equivalent of a month's rent for a small apartment to see Bad Bunny seemed more like an ordeal than a night of euphoria.

In this chapter we will talk about Bad Bunny, his selfie with Salvador Illa, his snub to Shakira and Kylie Minogue. "And is this news?" is the question we often see in comments on articles about gossip magazines and pop culture. And, obviously, they are not news that occupy newspaper front pages, but they are issues that we often discuss with friends or family around a table or at the bar counter. And this is what we do in this podcast: move to a venue to review some social chronicle news that serve not only to keep up with the most prominent gossip, but also to talk about love, friendship or breakups.

Amidst the world's misfortunes and Spanish politics, this image of presidential happiness appears.Salvador Illa, happy as a clam, taking a selfie with Bad Bunny inside the main nave of the Sagrada Família. Illa looks like he's about to sing: “If you want to have fun with charm and finesse, you just have to live a summer in Catalonia with warmth”.Bad Bunny is the best thing that will happen to Illa in the coming days, because the hurricane of the Zapatero case threatens the stability of Sánchez's government and, by extension, that of the Generalitat government, which is so closely linked to it.In the last few hours we have learned that the Economic and Fiscal Crime Unit of the National Police, the UDEF, has found in Zapatero's office: jewelry, folders and mobile phones. In short, there are three lines here: Zapatero is a victim of lawfare because let him do to Sánchez what he can do, Zapatero has crossed the fine line between lobbyist and influence peddler, and Zapatero is corrupt. Probably, what we have here is that the evidence gathered by the judge (the photos of the jewelry are police propaganda) could indicate that Zapatero has gone further, recklessly, than prudence advised. And until he testifies and the investigation is clarified, we will live in this debate. Now, that the suspicion of lawfare is plausible, everyone knows and it is a prophecy.There is no doubt that the blow to Sanchez is tremendous. If yesterday we were talking about the PNB saying there should be elections this year, today we have Felipe Gonzalez (who else?) saying the same thing.Journalist: “Do you think there will be elections? Do you think there will not be elections?”Felipe González: “I think there should be. It is the first time I say it. I think there should be. I think there should be. That is to say, there should be this year. We should also have respect for the infantry. I would tell it to García Páez. Look, the leadership I value is non-mercenary leadership. That which is not exercised for one's own benefit, but is exercised for the benefit of others”. With friends like González who needs enemies, Sánchez must think. Because, moreover, he is amused by it.Felipe González: “I don’t see him, let’s say, with the capacity to set up a financial engineering as I am seeing. I say, listen, that this means nothing more than that. That Zapatero has reached, in his life trajectory, to know what an offshore company is, well, I don’t see it”.Tomorrow we will know what Sánchez's answer is when asked if he will advance the elections (which until today the answer was no, by no means). And they will ask him in Rome, where Sánchez will be received in audience by Pope Leo XIV, as a prelude to the trip to Madrid, Barcelona and the Canary Islands in fifteen days. Such is life, Sánchez standing up to the Holy Father, just as the Pope, one year after his election, has begun to raise his voice against liars like Trump and, yesterday, against the dangers of artificial intelligence.

Salvador Illa has the photograph that many fans would like to have. The President of the Generalitat took a selfie this Sunday at the Sagrada Família with Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican artist who was in Barcelona this weekend to start his European tour, where he performed two concerts at the Olympic Stadium.

What color is the outfit Bad Bunny always wears? Tick-tock, tick-tock… Pantone Puerto Rico. Everything is blue, red, white. Tricolor 3HD. What is seen and what is not seen. United Colores of San José, Bayamón, Carolina, Ponce… Motley Caribbean. Gaudy Antilles. Kaleidoscopic island. Polychromatic nationalism. Nationalism through the eyes. Nationalism for all senses. But he is not a nationalist. Can you imagine a Catalan musician doing this?

He says he is legendary, a millionaire who hasn't forgotten his neighborhood. And that he is from Puerto Rico, from "P fuckin' R". He proclaims himself king of pop making reggaeton and dembow. And 55,000 people greet him, swept up in an impressive wave of effervescence. “Benito, Benito, Benito!”, they shout. Bad Bunny has just stepped onto the stage of the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and is already killing it. "}La mudanza" plays as an introduction, and when the salsa dynamite kicks in, the feeling is that the audience hasn't come up to Montjuïc to admire, but to celebrate. Bad Bunny also wants the party to be big, as immense as the musical richness of the album Debí tirar más fotos, and as varied as the rhythms of past hits like Tití me preguntó. For this, he deploys resources with the generosity afforded by the income from sold-out tickets, which in Barcelona cost between 83.30 and 230 euros (122.80 on the floor).

"I'm very excited, there's a lot of hype and, as more time passes, the more nervous we are". The atmosphere around the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium is already imbued with the Bad Bunny phenomenon. Even though there are still more than 10 hours before the Puerto Rican artist steps onto the stage, hundreds of young people are queuing, waiting to enjoy a night that many are confident will be "incredible", "unique", or "a Super Bowl 2".

Bad Bunny can be explained with a single song. It's all there in Nuevayol, the track that opens Debí tirar más fotos (2025), the album that took the Puerto Rican artist to perform at the Super Bowl and to do the tour that goes ¿Cómo Bad Bunny va a ser rey del pop, ey / con reggaetón y dembow?" Well, he is. And with Nuevayol you can dance reggaeton, dembow, and salsa all at once without changing your shoes.

The Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny will perform on Friday and Saturday in Barcelona and this Wednesday he has already been seen on the city streets. The musical idol is staying at the Mandarin Hotel, located in the heart of Passeig de Gràcia, and several fans have arrived there in the hope of seeing the singer. In the photograph taken by ARA, Bad Bunny can be seen greeting the people waiting for him at the hotel entrance. To visit the city, the singer from NUEVAYoL has opted for an informal look that has not managed to make him go unnoticed: jeans, a brown bomber jacket and a black hooded sweatshirt. Under the hood, also a black cap. Surely, the most curious element of Bad Bunny's styling, more autumnal than spring-like, were some red Hawaiian-style flip-flops.

Having self-love in times of hate is the answer and the path. The Super Bowl performance presented love as a trench, a word, and a form of resistance against the alarming election results. At the world's biggest concert, with 135 million viewers, reading "only love is more powerful than hate" became a balm for the pain of seeing dehumanizing policies gain votes.

In this chapter, we ask ourselves, "Is Benito our new Mariah?" "And is this news?" is the question we often see in the comments on gossip and pop culture articles. And, obviously, these aren't headline stories, but they are topics we often discuss with friends or family around a table or at a bar, not only to keep up with the latest gossip, but also to talk about love, friendship, or breakups.

In his latest Super Bowl performance, there's no room for doubt: Bad Bunny has made history. More than just performing, he took a stand. Not only through the music and the show's format, but also because he transformed one of the most normative and systematically depoliticized stages in American culture into a space charged with symbolism and unequivocal political positioning. This gesture is especially significant in a context marked by indiscriminate deportations, institutional violence, and the brutality of ICE, with a Latino community systematically criminalized and profoundly harmed.

The week begins under the shadow of two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The bad one? Train drivers' strikeThe good news? The AP-7 motorway reopened this morning after being closed for three weeks. All three lanes between Martorell and Gelida are now open in the direction of Tarragona.

One of the biggest sporting and television events in the United States is the Super Bowl, the final of the National Football League (NFL), which features a spectacular halftime show every year. This year, Green Day and Bad Bunny will be entertaining the audience, and they just this week won the Grammy for best album of the year for I SHOULD TAKE MORE PHOTOSThe award, which he accepted with a speech in which he openly criticized Donald Trump's immigration policy, has caused a stir. The US president is not happy that both the Californian band and the Puerto Rican singer have spoken out against him and wanted to demonstrate his anger by not attending the game, which takes place on Sunday in San Francisco and pits the New England Patriots against the Seattle Seahawks.

Bad Bunny has achieved a historic milestone in his career and for Spanish-language music. The Puerto Rican musician won the Grammy for Album of the Year on Sunday, the most important category at the awards ceremony, which celebrated its 68th edition. The event was marked by political messages and criticism of Donald Trump's immigration policies and the controversial ICE, Immigration and Border Protection.

Of the albums of 2024 The biggest concerts of 2025 have been announced (Billie Eilish, La Ludwig Band, Kneecap, Remedio de Ca la Fresca, Charli XCX). The same could happen with the 2025 album crop, a year that began with an undeniable standout album and ended with another equally significant one. According to ARA, this is how the last twelve months have unfolded. As usual, the list only includes 20 albums, but it could easily be much longer and include albums by Maria Rodés, Turnstile, Anna Andreu, Suede, Maria Hein, and Oklou, among others, as well as film soundtracks. A complete unknown and One battle after another.

The Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny He took home five golden gramophones tonight at the 26th Latin Grammy Awards, held in Las Vegas. The artist won the night's top prize, Album of the Year, for his hit album. I should have taken more photos (Rimas, 2025), and has also been awarded for best urban music album, best urban performance, best reggaeton performance, and best urban song. "I love music, I love what I do, and I love being able to connect with passionate people," said the singer, who dedicated the award to the "children and young people of Latin America" ​​and remembered his country: "There are many ways to show patriotism. Puerto Rico, I love you."

A couple of weeks ago, the announcement of the performance of Bad Bunny In the halftime of the 2026 Super Bowl, a multi-million dollar event on many levels, also for the viewers who follow it, it aroused the enthusiasm of many people and also some criticism: the musician excluded the United States from his world tour because he did not want raids by Imi Trump's Service before and after the concerts. Those who disagreed with his performance, in February, wonder if the raids are the same now. Bad Bunny, forceful and at the same time very friendly, responded to them from the Saturday Night Live, a flagship NBC show known for its irreverent and unabashed humor, hosted by countless stars. In Spanish, in his opening monologue, he said he was happy to perform at the Super Bowl and praised all those Latinos who, before him, have worked to open doors, asserting that it's not his success, but a collective one, proving that no one will ever be able to erase the mark of Latinos and their contributions to the United States. In English, he added: "If you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn it."

Julio Iglesias, Luis Miguel, Shakira, Juan Gabriel, Ricky Martin. There is a long list of Latin singers who in the last half-century have amassed colossal figures, especially in the United States. That said, although the numbers have accompanied them unequivocally, they have not always enjoyed the prestige of their Anglo-Saxon counterparts. It has taken a new generation and the era of urban music to break down the barriers and cultural prejudices that had historically held them back. Of the entire new wave, the first to unite a massive, universal, and transversal audience with specialized criticism is Bad Bunny.
