Bad Bunny is set to make history at the Super Bowl halftime show this Sunday, following his Grammy win for 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos,' a tribute to Puerto Rico. The performance will last 13 minutes, consistent with typical show lengths.
In a recent interview, Bad Bunny described the show as 'a huge party' and hinted at cultural elements. A trailer showed him approaching a Flamboyan tree and pressing play on 'Baile Inolvidable,' a modern salsa track featuring students from el Libre de Música San Juan.
The Puerto Rican flag is expected to feature prominently. Variations may include the current red, white, and blue flag; light blue versions associated with the independence movement; black and white symbolising struggle; or El Grito de Lares flag from the 19th-century revolt.
Puerto Rican expressions and the flag's display carry historical weight, referencing the Gag Law of 1948 that criminalised flag-waving. Bad Bunny has previously highlighted this in his song 'La Mudanza.'
Although all his music is in Spanish, Bad Bunny joked that fans need not learn Spanish to enjoy the set, but should be ready to dance.
