Bad Bunny's Historic Puerto Rico Concerts Celebrate Resilience, Boost Local Economy

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known to the world as Bad Bunny, just made historic waves in Puerto Rico and across the global Latin music scene. This past weekend marked the emotional end of his "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" residency with one final, monumental concert in San Juan. According to the Associated Press, Saturday’s concert aligned with the eighth anniversary of Hurricane Maria, transforming the event into both a tribute and a rallying cry for Puerto Ricans. Singing from the rooftop of a symbolic Puerto Rican house at the venue, Bad Bunny reminded everyone of the power, resilience, and pride of his island, and he wasn’t alone—Marc Anthony made a surprise appearance for the classic “Preciosa,” driving fans into an uproar as the lyrics echoed, "I love you, Puerto Rico."

The magnitude of these concerts can’t be overstated. Over half a million people attended throughout the residency, generating an estimated $733 million for Puerto Rico, notes a Gaither International study. Most fans came from across Latin America and Europe, with the entire series streamed worldwide on Amazon Music, Prime Video, and Twitch, making it the first time Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rico shows were available outside the island.

The residency finale was more than a concert; it was a night of solidarity and catharsis, with memories of Hurricane Maria looming for many in attendance. Many fans wore the number of storm victims on shirts and flags, turning the event into both a celebration and a shared moment of remembrance. Fans outside the venue, both those who got tickets and those who tried for hours only to come up short, reflected the emotional intensity Bad Bunny has always evoked among Puerto Ricans.

Bad Bunny took time during the residency, and especially in this final show, to highlight struggles still facing his homeland. He addressed ongoing power grid failures and criticized slow recovery efforts. According to recent government reports cited in local press, over 92% of reconstruction projects remain incomplete in Puerto Rico, continuing to frustrate residents year after year.

The final show, live-streamed globally for free, was also paired with new efforts offstage. Bad Bunny’s partnership with Amazon now extends to educational and agricultural initiatives in Puerto Rico, aiming to boost tech resources for local students, provide educational support, and promote Puerto Rican-owned businesses through a new “comPRa Local” storefront.

In a recent i-D magazine interview, Bad Bunny explained why his upcoming global tour will notably skip the continental United States—he cited concerns that Immigration and Customs Enforcement might intimidate or target fans at his U.S. shows. While he reassured stateside fans of his affection for them, he made it clear that the safety of his followers and the unique context of his Puerto Rican residency weighed heavily on the decision. Instead, his world tour kicks off in the Dominican Republic, with stops across Latin America, Europe, and Australia.

On the music front, Bad Bunny’s latest album "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," released earlier this year, continues to dominate charts and playlists everywhere. Music news site InMusic Blog calls it one of the “most anticipated projects” of 2025, and it shows no signs of slowing down as he preps for a demanding international tour.

Bad Bunny’s message at the conclusion of his residency was one of unity and hope, urging fans to hold onto love no matter the struggle. As fans embraced, cheered, and sang late into the night, it was clear this was more than just a closing act—it was a defining cultural moment.
