By Mira Kazhani/ Bad Bunny or the Bad Bunny.
A nickname that tries to say that even when you are wild, you can be gentle. And he did exactly that: he tamed the American world by shaking it up for good. Not with screams, but with the language of love precisely in its strangest days.
America is experiencing extreme polarization: hatred, bullying, deep divisions, even murder. A country that until yesterday was the homeland of the Other, today sees the Other as an enemy.
What did a single artist do that reminded the world that the greatest force than hate is love?
Turning his strong Puerto Rican personality into art, Bad Bunny has been climbing ever higher. The boy who, as a teenager, put people's food in bags at the supermarket is today one of the most viral figures in the world not only for success, but for meaning. For the message.
The Super Bowl is a major event for America. And as America is wont to do in Hollywood, in sports, in the arts, politics is never absent. It doesn't always scream, but it speaks. This time, it spoke through Bad Bunny.
He didn't shine in the classic sense.
He made history.
Without effort.
By simply being who he is: a Puerto Rican boy. With a lot of talent. And character!
What is a single artist capable of doing?!!
What millions together cannot do.
What hatred cannot do, no matter how organized it may be.
