Rebecca is joined by reggaeton scholar Petra Rivera-Rideau, who co-created the Bad Bunny Syllabus to provide historical and social context for Bad Bunny's music. His massive hit Un Verano Sin Tí  was the most globally streamed album of 2022 and the first Spanish-language album to be nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys. We speak about what makes him such a unique, versatile artist, and then delve into the ways Cuban and Puerto Rican music have diverged in recent decades. 

Songs played:
Controversia, Ismael Rivera
El Apagón, Bad Bunny
Titi Me Preguntó, Bad Bunny
Yo No Soy Celoso, Bad Bunny
