Dangerous Bunny pays homage to his native island with the discharge of his sixth solo album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos (out Sunday, Jan. 5), a celebration of Puerto Rican tradition and historical past.
“I’ve been dreaming about this album for years, and seeing it come to life has introduced me immense happiness,” Dangerous Bunny stated in a press launch. “I’ve all the time been sincere with my followers, and thru this new manufacturing, they’ll proceed to be taught extra about me as I, too, uncover extra about myself. This album is the results of the experiences which have led me to get to know myself higher, even attending to know the rhythms I take pleasure in most — those I actually take pleasure in singing and creating.”
The 17-track album showcases a lineup of Puerto Rican expertise, together with collaborative efforts with Chuwi, Dei V, Omar Courtz, Pleneros de la Cresta and RaiNao. He brings conventional Afro-Puerto Rican kinds like plena and jíbara with up to date reggaetón and synths, with the assistance of MAG, Tainy, La Paciencia and rising beat makers Huge Jay and Saox.
“I’m Puerto Rican, I’m Caribbean, and my music, my tradition, my nation’s historical past run by way of my veins, from plena to reggaetón,” Benito added. “On the peak of my profession and recognition, I wish to present the world who I’m, who BENITO ANTONIO is, and who PUERTO RICO is.”
Debí Tirar Más Fotos follows the unparalleled success of his earlier albums — Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023), Un Verano Sin Ti (2022) and El Último Tour del Mundo (2020) — which all soared to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making Dangerous Bunny the one Latin artist to realize this milestone.
