Thousands of tourists will flock to Puerto Rico for Bad Bunny’s three-month run at El Choli — and some locals want to make sure the archipelago is seizing the moment

Bad Bunny is performing a series of 30 concerts that fans say are meant to galvanize Puerto Rico’s unique sense of pride and resilience against the backdrop of economic uncertainty, gentrification, and the long-lasting impact of colonialism.

During his Puerto Rico residency, Bad Bunny will host shows for locals first. And bring an estimated $100 million in visitor spending.
