Back to EpisodesBad Bunny: Puerto Rican roots and Latin American pride l Just Us
Description
In honor of Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl halftime show performance we dive into his six-time Grammy nominated album Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I should’ve taken more pictures), its themes around multicultural identity, immigration, and why it’s not just meaningful to Puerto Ricans, but to Latinos across the region.
We discuss how, though the album is thoroughly Puerto Rican, multiculturalism is also on display and how the lyrics of leaving your homeland have resonated with Hispanic immigrants.

ABOUT THE HOSTS:
Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time.
The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.
