Dangerous 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. Hear beneath.
The discharge comes as Puerto Rico prepares to vote in a gubernatorial election on November 5. Dangerous Bunny, who has been serving to get out the vote, makes use of the latest seventh anniversary of Hurricane Maria to handle the political response to the catastrophe. As Remezcla notes, the music consists of the lyric, in Spanish, “The palm tree on which they wish to hold the nation, certainly one of today we’re going to knock it down”—apparently referring to the palm tree emblem of the governing New Progressive Occasion.
Earlier this week, Dangerous Bunny picked up a heap of Latin Grammys nominations.
