Bad Bunny He brought his trap tour to New York “Most Wanted”a concert in which he embodied the solitary “cowboy” that defines his new musical era, he said he felt sad and only seemed to overcome it with reggaeton.
The 30-year-old Puerto Rican singer performed on the second of three dates at the Barclays Center, a stadium in which he appeared serious and taciturn, giving rise to a very different show from the summer mega party he put on in 2022, his peak year. , at Yankee Stadium.
A classical music orchestra gave a curious kick-off to a two and a half hour urban recital, in which the “bad rabbit” performed almost in its entirety his latest album “Nobody knows what is going to happen tomorrow,” although the powerful speakers and bass drowned out part of his rogue lyrics.
Dressed in a brown outfit with fringes, a matching leather bag and a black veil with diamonds over her head and shoulders, she began singing “Nobody Sabe” and then stopped in silence to look at the audience for several minutes with an inscrutable gesture, breathing out heavily and drinking sips of water.
That moment of pause was repeated several times throughout the night, between songs like “Hibiki”, “Mónaco” or “Baticano”, in which the dancers changed the sexy clothes and “twerking” movements for long and skull masks, surrounding him in a diabolical dance.
Perhaps in reference to the famous incident in which he threw a fan’s cell phone into the water, for which he was highly criticized, the singer reflected on his “bad” label and what people will say, ensuring that he acts in a good way, follows his heart and he only cares about what his people think of him.
Benito’s deep voice – his first name – resonated in a spectacular staging: two stages and a bridge suspended in the air; launching of rockets, flares and lasers, and an audience wearing luminous pendants given out free of charge, which drew waves of color.
However, the environment did not seem to encourage the artist, who gave evidence of his melancholy by dedicating his gratitude “to those who have been there since day one” and finally came clean: “I am just any human being, I have sad days and days that I don’t.” “I know how I feel,” he said.
He then asked the audience for “help” and jumped with a playful attitude on a grand piano to sing “Por100to” without further accompaniment, which brought him to tears, and a song about old heartbreak that went out of the script of the previous dates, “Amorfoda”, which the fans chanted.
“I don’t want to be sad in New York,” he said, moving on to a much more lively final stretch and smiling for the first time while the stadium went crazy with a reggaeton medley that included “Dákiti,” “Safaera,” “Yo perreo sola” or “Efecto”, soundtrack of good times.
The fans, young, Latino and faithful to Benito’s new “western” aesthetic, seemed more dedicated and comfortable shouting slogans like “you are not a bebecita, you are a bebesota” or “don’t play the saint, you love perreo,” legacy of the reggaeton singer, who with his obscenities in a trap key.
After that apotheotic ending, Bad Bunny left at midnight, leaving a few who continued singing at the doors of Barclays wanting more and perhaps will return tomorrow, if they can afford it: a few days ago, tickets started at about 300 dollars .
