Bad Bunny has released “Una Velita,” a polemic addressing the fallout from Hurricane Maria, which devastated Puerto Rico and other parts of the Caribbean in 2017. It is his first solo song since last year’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. Listen below.
The release comes as Puerto Rico prepares to vote in a gubernatorial election on November 5. Bad Bunny, who has been helping get out the vote, uses the recent seventh anniversary of Hurricane Maria to address the political response to the disaster. As Remezcla notes, the song includes the lyric, in Spanish, “The palm tree on which they want to hang the country, one of these days we’re going to knock it down”—apparently referring to the palm tree emblem of the governing New Progressive Party.
Earlier this week, Bad Bunny picked up a heap of Latin Grammys nominations.
