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 solo music since final 12 months’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. Listen under.
The discharge comes as Puerto Rico prepares to vote in a gubernatorial election on November 5. Bad Bunny, who has been serving to get out the vote, makes use of the latest seventh anniversary of Hurricane Maria to deal with the political response to the catastrophe. As Remezcla notes, the music consists of the lyric, in Spanish, “The palm tree on which they want to hang the country, one of these days we’re going to knock it down”—apparently referring to the palm tree emblem of the governing New Progressive Social gathering.
Earlier this week, Bad Bunny picked up a heap of Latin Grammys nominations.
