Bad Bunny has launched “Una Velita,” a polemic addressing the fallout from Hurricane Maria, which devastated Puerto Rico and different components of the Caribbean in 2017. It’s his first tune since final yr’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. Hear under.
The discharge comes as Puerto Rico prepares to vote in a gubernatorial election on November 5. Dangerous Bunny, who has been helping get out the vote, makes use of the current seventh anniversary of Hurricane Maria to handle the political response to the catastrophe. As Remezcla notes, the tune contains the lyric, in Spanish, “The palm tree on which they need to cling the nation, considered one of nowadays we’re going to knock it down”—apparently referring to the palm tree emblem of the governing New Progressive Social gathering.
Earlier this week, Dangerous Bunny picked up a heap of Latin Grammys nominations.
