Puerto Rico\u2019s legendary reggaet\u00f3n and Latin trap artist, Bad Bunny returns home this week for his highly anticipated shows on December 10 and 11 at San Juan\u2019s Hiram Bithorn Stadium. Postponed in May 2020 due to the pandemic, the sell-out shows will launch the artist’s 2022 World Tour, \u201cEl \u00daltimo Tour del Mundo,\u201d<\/a>\u2013a name shared with his most recent album.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music icon, global phenomenon and the defining spirit for a generation, Bad Bunny (AKA Benito Antonio Mart\u00ednez Ocasio) has come a long way from bagging groceries and posting experimental material on social media. In fact, his concerts are coming fresh off the heels of his Latin Grammys awards and nominations<\/a> in November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, at the age of 22, the artist exploded onto the scene and redefined what it means to be a Spanish-speaking musician. From a niche following in Puerto Rico and Latin America, Bad Bunny quickly established himself as a mainstream star lauded by critics around the world. His infectious ballad \u201cSoy Peor\u201d \u2014Cada cual tiene lo que merece  (<\/em>Everyone has what they deserve) ignited the genre now universally known as Latin trap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always true to his creative impulses and constantly pushing boundaries, Bad Bunny is one of the most authentic artists alive today. His lyrics are peppered with Puerto Rican slang\u2014regardless of his audience. Bad Bunny\u2019s otherworldly aura both confounds and inspires music critics. In the Mexican magazine Terremoto, music scholar Ren Ellis Neyra described his \u201csky-ripping, visceral gut-blow vocals that swarm a track.\u201d Certainly, there\u2019s an intimate conversational tone and a melodious cadence that infects the rapper\u2019s melodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
