Bad Bunny's Best Guide to Puerto Rico Is His Latest Album
This summer, Puerto Rico is about to experience a superboom of visitors rarely, if ever, before seen by its residents—and it's all thanks to Bad Bunny. On July 11, the island's homegrown superstar kicked off a series of consecutive weekend shows at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, which he has dubbed his 'No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí' (meaning I Don't Wanna Leave Here) residency. Bad Bunny will grace the stage at El Choli, as the venue is known, weekly every Friday through Sunday over the course of three months, wrapping up his home run on September 14 before setting out on a world tour across Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. While tickets for the first nine shows were sold to locals only—proof of Puerto Rican residency was required for all 125,000 tickets purchased—beginning on August 1 visitors will be welcome to the 21 remaining dates. Variety magazine reports that the forthcoming influx of visitors is estimated to generate nearly $200 million in revenue for the island. And yet the focal point of Bad Bunny's latest album, DeBí TiRAR MáS FOToS, (meaning I Should Have Taken More Photos) is Puerto Rico's fight to maintain its cultural identity and history amid its rapid gentrification by affluent outsiders and corporate interests. In the song 'Turista,' for example, Benito compares a frosty ex-lover to that of a tourist in a foreign land. 'En mi vida fuiste turista / Tú solo viste lo mejor de mí,' he sings, lamenting that she was never curious enough to fully capture his emotional complexity.

Bad Bunny Drops ‘Alambre Púa' After Debuting Track at Puerto Rico Residency
Bad Bunny is back with a surprise new single, 'Alambre Púa,' marking his first new music since the release of his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The track's official release comes after Bad Bunny debuted it live over the weekend, highlighting 'Alambre Púa' as the show-opener at his residency at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The propulsive, sweltering track also arrives with a visualizer that, for the most part, follows a woman's legs as she dances across a beach.

I Don't Want to Leave' Eventually, the camera pulls out to reveal the dancer on an elaborate soundstage, with a flashing sign behind her emblazoned with the name of Bad Bunny's San Juan residency: 'No me quiero ir de aquí' ('I don't want to leave here'). The 30-show residency officially kicked off July 11, with concerts scheduled through Sept. 14. After wrapping the hometown run, Bad Bunny will kick off a world tour that runs through 2026, with concerts throughout Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Earlier this month, before releasing 'Alambre Púa,' Bad Bunny released a music video for his Debí Tirar Más Fotos track, 'Nuevayol.' The clip notably ends with a voice that sounds a lot like Donald Trump's delivering a staunchly pro-immigrant message at a moment when the Trump administration is leaning heavily into brutal crackdowns on migrants, including mass detentions and deportations. Bad Bunny released Debí Tirar Más Fotos in January, marking his first album since 2023's Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. Along with his residency and world tour, Bad Bunny also has a pair of movies coming out this year, including Happy Gilmore 2 with Adam Sandler and Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing.
