About this episode
How did Bad Bunny turn global superstardom into a platform for Puerto Rican resistance? Dramos sits down with Dr. Vanessa Diaz and Dr. Petra Rivera-Rideau, creators of the Bad Bunny Syllabus and authors of P FKN R , to unpack the history, identity, and politics behind his music. From Hurricane Maria and the 2019 protests to challenging machismo and the backlash surrounding his Super Bowl halftime show, they explore how Benito is changing the conversation around Puerto Rico and helping a generation reconnect with its roots.
