Last year, he released a 23-minute [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TCX_Aqzoo4) for one of the songs he performed last night.

The Grammys are about pop culture, and what Bad Bunny brings is rebellion; that’s why I didn’t care when he didn’t win. In the grand scheme of things, what matters is that a Latino artist—a Puerto Rican, and therefore United States–born, American artist—was recognized for an album recorded in the musical tradition of his home and in his native language. What Latinos understand, and Puerto Ricans know in the depths of our soul, is that Bad Bunny doesn’t just serve up music. Trailing them were dancers in cabezudos—giant papier-mâché heads—in the likenesses of Puerto Rican icons and independence advocates including the poet Julia de Burgos and the reggaeton pioneer and anti-corruption advocate Tego Calderón. His rejection of the narrow confines placed around Latino men, by both white America and Hispanic patriarchal culture, is just one of the things that make San Benito’s rise so remarkable and important—to Puerto Ricans as a community and to outsiders who constantly struggle to understand us. Art, with its passions and abstractions, is often the only viable way to make sense of an absurd world. Bad Bunny is primarily a reggaeton artist, a genre born in Puerto Rico from the influence of Carribean reggae and mainland American rap. The latter, despite its American and white bias—even in categories rooted in Black history and heritage, such as hip-hop—has traditionally set the bar for who has, and hasn’t, been accepted into the American mainstream as pop-culture royalty.

El Conejo Malo was the first person to be nominated for a Grammy for Best Música Urbana Album – an all-Spanish album at that. Having Bomba y plena present at the Grammys allows Benito to honor Afro-Puerto Ricans’ ancestry. “El Apagón” shines a light on Puerto Rico’s current state, in which he talks about Puerto Rico’s blackout.
