It should surprise no one that Bad Bunny decided to drop the long-anticipated music video for “LA MuDANZA” on his 31st birthday. The song is a riotous salsa track that — like one of DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’ other mega hits, “Baile INoLVIDABLE” — borrows from the salsa gorda era of the genre. It’s deeply personal, too: It opens with a spoken word snippet of Benito retelling the story of how his parents came of age in the Nineties, crossed paths serendipitously, and eventually had the kid who is now an international superstar.

Bad Bunny has a response after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe described Puerto Rico as an “island of garbage” during a recent Donald Trump rally in New York. On Tuesday, the Puerto Rican artist shared a video on his Instagram page that celebrates the history and beauty of his home island.

On “Una Velita,” Bad Bunny addresses the devastating effects of Hurricane Maria on his native Puerto Rico and the rest of the Caribbean in 2017. The music is based on a swirling, doleful guitar line, which a choir and percussion section mix up until he takes over with his own sighing, lachrymal verses. A visualizer video reflects the mood of the song, focusing on candles lighting a dark room during a blackout; the song title translates to “a little candle.”
The lyrics, in Spanish, describe the beginning of rain and how “a storm is coming.

Bad Bunny admits that he initially saw the Grammys live captioning controversy involving his performance as “normal” before questioning “why don’t they have someone” who could caption his song in Spanish.
The award-winning Puerto Rican rapper, singer and songwriter who has regularly broken industry records and global barriers with his Spanish-language music has opened up to Vanity Fair about his experience at this year’s Grammys, where his performance was featured alongside offensively unspecific captioning for the telecast.
As he performed a melody of his hits like “El Apagón” and “Después de la Playa” during the Recording Academy’s 2023 show, his performance was live captioned as “singing in non-English.” While Spanish language closed captioning was added for on-demand Paramount+ streams, the live telecast was derided by Spanish-language viewers and by those in the Deaf community who rely on captions throughout the show.
It also garnered a response from U.

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known as Bad Bunny, was in the middle of a hectic period in his career when Rolling Stone asked him to be on the cover of its July/August double issue.

Bad Bunny is making it up to Harry Styles.

Bad Bunny made history on Friday as the first Latino to headline Coachella — and he met the milestone with a nearly two-hour performance that was full of special interludes, surprise guests, and even some sound mishaps. His set took place on one of the largest stages Coachella has ever built, which allowed the Puerto Rican superstar to interact with the crowd from entirely different sides of the festival grounds. In between, he brought out artists and urbano luminaries, among them.

CBS’ president and CEO George Cheeks is addressing the lack of appropriate closed captions for Bad Bunny’s Grammys performance and his acceptance speech that followed during the Sunday telecast.
The record-breaking musician opened the Recording Academy’s 2023 awards show with a mashup of his hits “El Apagón” and “Después de la Playa,” in which his Spanish lyrics were not translated into closed captions. Instead, the words “singing in non-English” were displayed on the screens for those who had captions turned on during the performance. Later, during his acceptance speech for best música urbana album, the words “speaking in non-English” were displayed in parts of his speech that were in Spanish.
In response to U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia, who wrote a letter to CBS earlier in the week addressing the captioning error, Cheeks took “full responsibility” for the lack of translation for the Latin superstar’s lyrics and eventual acceptance speech.

CBS is reviewing its closed captioning process for all live entertainment events, following criticism over the network’s Grammys telecast and its initial lack of Spanish captioning. That’s according to CBS president/CEO George Cheeks, who has responded to a letter from U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) that had addressed the controversy.
During last Sunday’s initial live broadcast of the Grammys, captions only read, “[Speaking Non-english]” and “[Singing In Non-english]” during Bad Bunny’s mashup performance of “El Apagón” and “Después de la Playa.” Later, when Bad Bunny accepted the Grammy for Música Urbana album, his acceptance speech was partially in Spanish — and once again, the captions only said “[Speaking Non-english]”.

The Grammy Awards are making somewhat of a comeback. Sunday’s telecast of the 65th annual ceremony delivered 12.4M viewers across the CBS broadcast and digital platforms, according to fast affiliates. That’s up 30 from last year and the largest audience for ceremony since 2020.

During Bad Bunny’s 2023 Grammys performance, viewers using closed captioning while watching the event’s live broadcast were faced with TV screens that read “[Speaking Non-english]” and “[Singing In Non-english]” as the Puerto Rican rapper performed “El Apagon” and “Despues De La Playa.” Then, during Bad Bunny‘s acceptance speech for best Música Urbana album, which was spoken partially in Spanish, the captions once again read “[Speaking Non-english].” Although it’s usually standard practice for live closed captioning to use these phrases as a catchall for all languages, many viewers found it in bad taste not to include actual lyrics to the show’s opening performance, making it feel like an afterthought to the network. Insiders suggest that although the lyrics for both songs are readily available online, they don’t account for ad-libs or expletives that may or may not be bleeped. As the online reaction began to swell, CBS acted swiftly and updated the Spanish...

Grammy viewers who were using the closed captioning while watching the awards telecast on Sunday night didn’t have much to go on when opening act Bad Bunny hit the Cypto.com stage. That’s because, during the initial live broadcast, the captions only said, “[Speaking Non-english]” and “[Singing In Non-english]” during Bad Bunny’s mashup performance of “El Apagón” and “Después de la Playa.”
Later, when Bad Bunny accepted the Grammy for Música Urbana album, his acceptance speech was partially in Spanish — and once again, the captions only said “[Speaking Non-english]”.
Turns out, that is generally standard practice for live closed captioning, where the captioners don’t have the capability to quickly add translations. (The “speaking non-English” is a catchall for all languages and is built into the system.) Insiders note that although the lyrics for “El Apagón” and “Después de la Playa” are readily available online, they don’t account for ad libs or expletives...

Decades of egregious snubs and exasperating exclusions have chipped away at the Grammy Awards’ reputation — so much so that the honor’s relevancy is relitigated annually. Are the Grammys important? And if so, to whom? These questions haunt every season as the discourse circles the familiar talking points. On one side: The awards symbolize validation from peers and industry leaders. On another: Recording Academy approval doesn’t matter when their choices rarely reflect contemporary tastes or acknowledge real innovation.
Last year’s show, held in Las Vegas, was an awkward and feeble attempt to re-establish relevancy by reflecting real-world issues: Trevor Noah took the stage as host and guided viewers through a disjointed hours-long concert that included brief interludes to honor tour managers, celebrate freedom and highlight the war in Ukraine with a prerecorded message from president Volodymyr Zelensky.

Los Angeles, Feb 6 (Ians) Rapper Bad Bunny brought his record-breaking ‘World’s Hottest Tour’ to the 2023 Grammys stage, performing a mash-up of ‘El Apagon’ and ‘Despues De La Playa’ at the 65th Grammy Awards.
The Puerto Rican reggaeton titan kicked off his set off-stage and was backed by a live band who shook the venue with the vibrations of infectious merengue beats that brought stars like Jack Harlow and Taylor Swift to their feet, reports Variety.
Dancers dressed in colourful dresses and big caricature heads floated through the audience while Bad Bunny blasted through his performance. The CBS broadcast could barely keep up with his fiery cadence, however, writing ‘Singing in Non-English’ as captions during the performance.

Music’s biggest night is taking over CBS on February 5, and the industry’s biggest names are shining already, whether they’re winning or not. The 65th Annual Grammy Awards, hosted once again by Trevor Noah, aired live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and the festivities began with a live performance from one of the biggest global artists of late, Bad Bunny. He began with a Spanish-language performance of “El Apagón,” coming down the aisle alongside several character mascots commonly seen during festivals in Puerto Rico. Bad Bunny, continuing his performance, greeted a few celebs, including LL Cool J, in the aisles toward the main stage and was accompanied by dozens of dancers who grabbed celebrities from the aisles and encouraged them to dance along, including Taylor Swift. Before long, the curtains rose as he approached the stage and launched into his next song, “Despues De La Playa,...

Bad Bunny, aka El Conejo Malo, took to the 2023 Grammys stage on Sunday night, where his Un Verano Sin Ti made history as the first Latin album to be nominated for album of the year. The release was 2022’s most-listened-to album.
The artist opened the show with a Un Verano Sin Ti mashup of tracks “El Apagon” and “Despues de la Playa,” with a brass section and conga drummers. The musician danced through the tables on the floor, before making his way to a circular, lit stage in at the front of the room.
The artist, whose full name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has taken home two Grammys in the past: one for best música urbana album for El Último Tour Del Mundo and his first one for best Latin pop or urban album for Yhlqmdlg.

Two years after his debut Grammys performance, Bad Bunny made a triumphant return to the award ceremony on Sunday night. The 28-year-old Puerto Rican artist opened the show, this time performing "El Apagón" and "Después de la Playa" from his record-breaking "Un Verano Sin Ti" album. Bad Bunny basically turned the ceremony into a giant dance party; even Taylor Swift couldn't resist getting up and moving to the music.
In addition to his performance, Bad Bunny was nominated for three awards, including best pop solo performance for "Moscow Mule," best música urbana album for "Un Verano Sin Ti," and album of the year for "Un Verano Sin Ti," which became the first all Spanish-language album to receive an album of the year nomination by the Recording Academy. So far, he's won one out of three: best música urbana album.

The August sun knows no bounds one sweltering afternoon in Las Vegas as it beats down over the slick, steaming asphalt roads of the Strip. At 6 p.m., it’s still a merciless 102 degrees outside, and there’s little hope that nightfall will cool down the neon-lit city. Yet outside of T-Mobile Arena, fans of reggaeton legend Daddy Yankee have started to line up to see him three hours before he’s due onstage. They wait patiently, braving airless temperatures and blistering dryness, their enthusiasm stronger than the heat.

On Friday, Bad Bunny released the highly anticipated music video for “El Apagón,” a spirited ode to Puerto Rico that addresses several of the socioeconomic issues affecting the archipelago. The song takes its title from the rolling blackouts that have plagued Puerto Ricans, especially after Hurricane María struck exactly five years ago. But, never one to shy away from what’s happening in Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny surprised many by going much deeper into the track’s subject matter and including an entire 18-minute documentary at the end of the video.

The first time I heard "El Abayarde," I thought, "Who is this dude straight dropping fire lyrics on these reggaeton beats?!" Until then, reggaeton had been (at least to me) party music. It was my favorite beat to shake my ass to, and it filled me with pride to know that this genre had, in some part, blown up due to Puerto Rican artists. As a Boricua, I loved that all these up-and-coming lyricists were making their way stateside thanks to an infectious dembow beat the world couldn't resist. But to have someone spitting socially conscious lyrics - talking about police brutality, inequality, racism, and government corruption - was something new. Tego Calderón was the one who brought this consciousness to the world of reggaeton.
It makes sense that Calderón took on this mantle. Santurce, Puerto Rico (where Calderón is originally from), has a long, proud history for Black Puerto Ricans.

It’s the end of the world and they know it in “Radioflash,” a neither-fish-nor-fowl tale of survival after a massive, seemingly permanent power failure. At first this seems a fairly straightforward “what if” scenario of one family’s coping with the rapid breakdown of society in an unprecedented emergency. But first-time feature director/co-writer Ben McPherson eventually throws in more conventionally exploitative elements that push things toward the realms of thriller and quasi-horror, without actually embracing those genres.
The result is an offbeat conceptual mixture, albeit one that’s somewhat frustrating and occasionally tedious, if beautifully photographed by Austin Schmidt. It opens on 25 U.S. screens Nov. 15. As if anticipating the cries of fanboy types sure to be irked that the film doesn’t identify sufficiently as sci-fi, horror, or thriller, McPherson opens with an elaborately misleading sequence that signals all three, trapping heroine Reese (Brighton Sharbino) in a surreal escape-room nightmare.

"This is the real deal. The clock is ticking. You gotta get moving." IFC Midnight has unveiled a trailer for a survival thriller titled Radioflash, marking the feature directional debut of a filmmaker / artist named Ben McPherson. When a device releases an electromagnetic pulse that kills the power for more than 200 million people, a teenage girl must help lead her family to survival in a dark new world. They seek refuge with her doomsday-prepper grandfather who lives deep in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, but also discover there's something else there. Starring Brighton Sharbino as Reese, Dominic Monaghan, Will Patton, Fionnula Flanagan, Miles Anderson, Michael Filipowich, Kyle Collin, Sean Cook, and Arden Myrin. This looks like it could be good, but also could be pretty bad, based on the way this trailer plays out.

IFC Midnight has acquired U.S. rights to “Radioflash,” a survival thriller starring Dominic Monaghan and Brighton Sharbino, Variety has learned. The company will release the movie on Nov. 15.
The film imagines a dystopian future, one in which an electric-magnetic pulse strikes America, knocking out all the power and pushing the country into the Dark Ages. Reese (Sharbino), a tech-savvy teenager and her father Chris (Monaghan) flee the city, and seek refuge with her grandfather deep in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Safety proves to be hard to come by.
“With a genre film, the type we have seen before, the challenge is to make it different,” director Ben McPherson said in a statement. “I wanted this film to be unpredictable and disorienting so that the viewer like the protagonist never knew what was around each corner. There is never a moment in the film where we are certain about who we can trust,...
