‘DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’ – Unhealthy Bunny
Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio is lastly residence.

The visualizers on YouTube detailed the historical past of Puerto Rico. A small (however essential!) inclusion for Debí Tirar Más Fotos was an lovable animated frog or, extra particularly, a coquí — the unofficial image of Puerto Rico.
“That is an album of Puerto Rican music, and a totally totally different vibe from what every other artist has carried out,” Unhealthy Bunny affirms by way of an interview with Time. “I discovered what my roots are: the sound that represents me.”

The album’s opening music, “NUEVAYoL,” included a pattern of “Un Verano en Nueva York” (or “A Summer season in New York”) by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. It begins off closely in salsa earlier than integrating components of dembow and up to date reggaeton, providing a glimpse into the brand new tracks’ genre-bending sound.
A private favourite, “LA MuDANZA” begins with a narration from Unhealthy Bunny about his dad and mom. The lyrics element Unhealthy Bunny’s triumphs as a musician, however in the end, the energy that he finds in his roots in “P f—ing R.” It feels like one large get together and it appears like Unhealthy Bunny is at his finest.
