Bad Bunny’s Concert: A connection for Puerto Ricans and Dominicans in South Jersey and Philadelphia

Saturday night in our quiet South Jersey neighborhood, the sound of plena, salsa, and reggaetón spilled into the crisp fall air. My neighbors set up a projector on their front lawn to livestream Bad Bunny’s concert on Amazon, turning the block into a cultural celebration. As Bad Bunny churned out hit after hit, the shared experience created a sense of unity among Puerto Ricans and Dominicans in the area. ‘It felt like we were all back home, even if just for one night,’ one viewer said. The virtual concert wasn’t just a performance; it was a lifeline for those far from their roots.
