Bad Bunny's residency through the eyes of our community

Mariana Betancourt

Thirty nights of residency, one artist. Puerto Rico shook to the rhythm of every verse and every "¡Benito!" that rang out from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico. It was a cultural, economic and social phenomenon that went beyond music to become a mirror of national feeling.

Social media caught that same energy. Some highlighted the joy the concerts brought them, and others recalled family memories through the music of Bad Bunny.

Below is a selection of comments from the Platea community:

For some, the residency was a relief:

Others, through songs like "DtMF," remembered loved ones who are no longer here:

During the residency, many had the chance to revisit their longing to return to the Island:

Some danced to reconnect with their inner child:

After the final show of the historic residency, some tried to describe the experience in three words:
