Bad Bunny has released his sixth studio album, ‘DebíTirarMásFotos’, an open love letter to his motherland, Puerto Rico where he showcases its rich music history.
As the world celebrates ‘Three Kings Day’, Bad Bunny is here with another reason to celebrate bigger. The singer-rapper released his sixth studio album, an oeuvre on his beloved motherland, Puerto Rico. The latest album of Bad Bunny is called ‘DebíTirarMásFotos’, which translates to “I should have taken more photos”. The artist pulls the island’s rich musical history on the album and combines it with modern takes to present the fans with one of his most memorable works.
Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio begins his journey with ‘DebíTirarMásFotos’ by releasing ‘El Clúb’ in early December. The artist brought house rhythms and electronic production, all thanks to MAG, La Paciencia, and Saox, and made the composition even more brightening. The nylon-stringed plena guitars in the composition give the song a layer that takes the entire composition to a whole new level. It was indeed a very interesting tease for the upcoming album. The track was a bit different from the rest of his works because here, Benito combines “pop modernity with a classical, Puerto Rican folk style”. In his previous records, the artist always highlighted Mexican corridos paired with narrative lyrics, spreading messages to the people, and in this song, it is different.
The next single was ‘Pitorro de Coco’. It is named after the Puerto Rican coconut-flavored spirit, a holiday song that is made with jíbara rhythm interpolating a song from “MúsicaJíbara Para Las Navidades,” by Chuíto el de Bayamón.
Both tracks serve as perfect introductions to a new chapter for the artist. “DebíTirarMásFotos” is deeply connected to músicajíbara and various Puerto Rican folkloric genres but seeks to innovate within them. This is evident in the salsa tracks “BaileInolvidable” and “La Mudanza,” along with the opening piece “NuevaYol,” a heartfelt homage to New York that incorporates dembow into a sample of El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico’s “UnVeranoen Nueva York.” It pays tribute to both Willie Colón and Toñita, the matriarch of one of the city’s last remaining Puerto Rican social clubs. The shared heritage of Puerto Rican traditions reimagined in Bad Bunny’s contemporary style is also reflected in his collaborations. He works with artists from his home country, including the band Chuwi, Dei V, Omar Courtz, Pleneros de la Cresta, and rising star RaiNao, who is in charge of transforming urbano music.
Listeners eager to hear more politically motivated records like “El Apagón” will not be disappointed either. The album also contains “Turista” and the affecting “Lo Que Pasó a Hawaii,” where the artist sings, “No quiero que pasecontigo lo que pasó a Hawaii.” It was definitely a rallying cry for Puerto Rico’s cultural autonomy.
