Bad Bunny made GRAMMY history on Sunday night, becoming the first artist to win Album of the Year with a fully Spanish-language album at the 68th Annual GRAMMY’s  in Los Angeles, California. 

It was a big night for Latinos across genres; from first time winners like Lefty Gunplay, CA7RIEL & PACO AMOROSO who pushed boundaries with bold music statements this past year and were rightfully rewarded while now music veterans Carin Leon and Natalia LaFourcade continue to hold down their respective genres.

Still, it was Bad Bunny who left with one of the most anticipated and prestigious awards of the evening.

The Puerto Rican superstar started off the evening with six nominations including Album of the Year, Record of the Year , Best Música Urbana Album, Best Global Music Performance, Best Album Cover, and Song of the Year. Ultimately, he swept up three awards for Best Música Urbana Album, Best Global Music Performance, and last and best of all, Album of the year.

In his acceptance speech, for Best Música Urbana Album, Bad Bunny addressed the current political climate rippling through our nation and delivered a message in support of immigrant communities. “Before I thank God, ICE out,” he said. “We’re not savages. We’re not animals. We are humans and we are Americans.”

Since day one, Bad Bunny built his career on being 100% himself in his music and in his politics. He has never shied away from using his platform to speak out against injustices. He ended his speech urging the GRAMMY audience and his industry comrades to “fight hate with love.”

At the center of it all, Debi Tirar Mas Fotos now stands as the first album 100% in Spanish to receive Album of the Year, making that a first in GRAMMY history. 

This being the first all-Spanish album to receive such honor Bad Bunny still had time to inspire us all by uplifting Puerto Rico and empowering others with his similar dreams while also dedicating this win to immigrants and the many generations before and to come. “I want to dedicate this award to all the people that had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams, ” he said. 

This win follows Bad Bunny’s first Album of the Year Nomination in 2023 for Un Verano Sin Ti (UVST), an album that redefined not only global pop music but Latin music’s presence in mainstream media. UVST was the first all Spanish-language album nominated for the highly celebrated category.

In recent months, Bad Bunny has headlined multiple big cities all over Latin America and soon enough Asia and Europe for his recent tour; even hosting a 30 day weekend-to-weekend residency exclusively to Puerto Rico. Yet, he refused to add any continental U.S. dates, a move that has been widely interpreted as an act of solidarity with his Latino and Immigrant fans given current political tensions around ICE. 

And in just a few days, he takes on one of the world’s biggest stages: the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 8. While there is speculation Puerto-Rican reggaetonera Young Miko may be a special guest, no official confirmation has been made. Stay tuned!

Bad Bunny hace historia en los Grammys con el premio Álbum del Año

Bad Bunny hizo historia en los GRAMMY la noche del domingo al convertirse en el primer artista en ganar Álbum del Año con un disco completamente en español en la 68ª entrega anual de los GRAMMY, celebrada en Los Ángeles, California.

Fue una gran noche para los latinos en distintos géneros musicales. Hubo ganadores por primera vez como Lefty Gunplay, CA7RIEL & PACO AMOROSO, quienes rompieron esquemas con propuestas musicales audaces este último año y fueron justamente reconocidos. Al mismo tiempo, figuras ya consolidadas como Carin Leon y Natalia LaFourcade continúan sosteniendo con fuerza sus respectivos géneros.

Aun así, fue Bad Bunny quien se llevó uno de los premios más esperados y prestigiosos de la noche.

La superestrella puertorriqueña comenzó la velada con seis nominaciones, incluyendo Álbum del Año, Grabación del Año, Best Música Urbana Album, Best Global Music Performance, Best Album Cover y Canción del Año. Al final, obtuvo tres premios: Best Música Urbana Album, Best Global Music Performance y, el más importante de todos, Álbum del Año.

En su discurso de aceptación por Best Música Urbana Album, Bad Bunny habló sobre el clima político actual que se vive en el país y compartió un mensaje de apoyo a las comunidades inmigrantes. “Antes de darle gracias a Dios, ICE out,” dijo. “No somos salvajes. No somos animales. Somos humanos y somos americanos.”

Desde el inicio de su carrera, Bad Bunny ha construido su trayectoria siendo totalmente auténtico, tanto en su música como en sus posturas políticas. Nunca ha evitado usar su plataforma para denunciar injusticias. Cerró su discurso invitando al público de los GRAMMY y a sus colegas de la industria a “combatir el odio con amor.”

En el centro de este logro está Debí Tirar Más Fotos, que ahora se convierte en el primer álbum 100% en español en recibir el premio a Álbum del Año, marcando un hecho histórico en los GRAMMY.

Al ser el primer disco completamente en español en recibir este honor, Bad Bunny también aprovechó para inspirar, resaltando a Puerto Rico y animando a otras personas con sueños similares. Además, dedicó el premio a los inmigrantes y a las muchas generaciones que han luchado antes y seguirán luchando después. “Quiero dedicar este premio a todas las personas que tuvieron que dejar su tierra, su país, para seguir sus sueños,” expresó.

Este triunfo llega después de su primera nominación a Álbum del Año en 2023 por Un Verano Sin Ti (UVST), un álbum que redefinió no solo el pop global, sino también la presencia de la música latina en los medios principales. UVST fue el primer álbum totalmente en español nominado en esta categoría tan destacada.

En meses recientes, Bad Bunny ha encabezado conciertos en grandes ciudades de toda América Latina y próximamente en Asia y Europa con su gira más reciente. También realizó una residencia exclusiva de 30 días, de fin de semana a fin de semana, en Puerto Rico. Sin embargo, decidió no agregar fechas en el territorio continental de Estados Unidos, una decisión que muchos interpretan como un acto de solidaridad con sus fans latinos e inmigrantes ante las tensiones políticas actuales en torno a ICE.

Y en solo unos días llegará a uno de los escenarios más grandes del mundo: el Super Bowl el domingo 8 de febrero. Aunque hay rumores de que la reguetonera puertorriqueña Young Miko podría aparecer como invitada especial, aún no hay confirmación oficial. Manténgase pendiente.
