The program was called “Bad Bunny: Moving Bodies and Making Politics” and was put on by the university’s Institute of Arts and Humanities.
The conversation was centered around a new book titled “P FKN R: How Bad Bunny Became the Global Voice of Puerto Rican Resistance,” co-authored by Dr. Vanessa Diaz.
According to the event website, the book explores Bad Bunny’s career, his musical genre and the political and cultural context that shapes his music.
The talk was hosted by Diaz and Dr. Jade Power-Sotomayor, a “Cali-Rican scholar” and Assistant Professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at UC San Diego.
Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known as Bad Bunny, broke into the music industry as a Latin trap artist.
As his career flourished, he developed his own music style that reflects his Puerto Rican identity and culture.
In February, he made history with his album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” becoming the first Spanish-language album to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. He was also the most globally streamed artist on Spotify last year for the fourth time in a row.
