00:00
So I keep hearing people say Bad Bunny is back,
00:03
but did he ever really leave?
00:05
I don't know why people say that.
00:07
I mean, like he's back with new music,
00:10
but he never really left,
00:12
you know, like I feel like he's always,
00:14
you know, been locked in the playlist.
00:16
Obviously if he has any in here,
00:18
he busts with a new album this month,
00:22
and I mean, have you heard of the whole album?
00:26
I have. And I could tell like the people are
00:29
loving it, especially the fact that he embraces,
00:32
you know, his cultura and I feel like I'm learning more
00:35
and more about Puerto Rican culture,
00:37
so you gotta listen to the songs like again it's they're jams
00:40
but they also have some,
00:41
you know, some messages in there.
00:42
oh yeah, mad appreciation for it,
00:45
but here to help us break down the vitiarmas photos and its
00:50
ties to Puerto Rico is Senor Edison.
00:56
Living legend. Oh he came ready.
01:12
I got my weed already.
01:12
I don't know. I'm in San Juan.
01:12
Oh my God, he's flexing on dude,
01:12
I'm getting mad ready for you guys.
01:14
You guys gotta come out here.
01:15
Come visit. come stay.
01:16
I'm residency like we're down,
01:20
but. Before we get into it,
01:21
I don't know if you heard our conversation,
01:23
but you let us know.
01:26
Bad Bunny never left.
01:28
but more Puerto Rican than ever.
01:34
I saw you went last night.
01:37
Like you went last night.
01:38
How was it? Catch us up.
01:41
So I just landed last night here in San Juan from Miami
01:44
and my friend Grecia picked me up and we went to
01:47
eat Apinones. Hi Grecia and then we we just see
01:50
like a a story that said from Bad Bunny said
01:53
pull up Laboricua at 8 p.m. and then we looked at each
01:55
other and we're like,
01:56
all right, we gotta pay the bill.
01:57
It was like 7:30 and then it was 20 minutes away.
02:00
We got there and already the it was la gente get tabanga
02:04
it was packed like sardines.
02:06
Oh man, I know I saw I was like damn what
02:08
I would do to be there.
02:19
Talking about the album,
02:20
like, what's your favorite track from the Balmasotos so far?
02:24
Every day my favorite song changes.
02:28
vile Olvidable because I love salsa.
02:30
I love Salsa so much and I'm glad that he's bringing this
02:33
resurgence to Salsa. I feel like our generation,
02:35
you know, kind of this,
02:36
this,, disconnected from that from our parents,
02:39
but then that became the number one song.
02:41
He brought a salsa to number one in Apple Music in the
02:44
first time in history.
02:46
Chills., and then it became Devi Talmasotos,
02:50
just because it feels like such a raw,
02:53
especially for Puerto Ricans,
02:54
you know, I wasn't raised here.
02:57
my parents had me in Florida because of the lack of opportunity
02:59
here. And so that song is all about,
03:02
you know, missing people that I have to leave,
03:04
and that's why the chairs are empty on the album cover and
03:06
stuff like that too.
03:06
And then he brought that song,
03:10
Number one on Apple Music.
03:12
I would have never thought of playing I would have been #1
03:14
on Apple Music. What are your thoughts on Rolling Stone,
03:16
give this album a 10 out of 10?
03:19
I honestly, before this album came out,
03:22
I was nervous because I said,
03:23
you know, it's gonna be very cultural.
03:24
I love it. Personally,
03:25
I gave it a 10 out of 10 already like listening the
03:28
first thing, but I did not expect the world to receive
03:31
it so, so well the way they did.
03:34
And I'm grateful for it,
03:35
you know. I feel like when he embraces his culture,
03:38
that's when people go like ape shit like they go crazy when
03:42
he comes back to the roots.
03:45
And so I guess about more going back to the roots,
03:47
how do you feel about Bad Bunny addressing gentrification about
03:51
you know, in Puerto Rico on the album?
03:52
So this is something that Bad Bunny has been doing since Sinti
03:56
remember for the music video for Ela Paon.
03:59
my friend Bianca Graulla,
04:01
you know, directed that whole,
04:03
I think it was 12 minute documentary talking about the
04:04
gentrification,, and she actually filmed that right here,
04:08
where we talk about the Dominican lady who,
04:10
who was almost kicked out about her,
04:11
her apartment right here that's in that music video.
04:16
the residency that he's doing in Puerto Rico,
04:19
he's released a travel package and he puts it on his story
04:22
I know if you guys saw yesterday,
04:23
and you know, I think he's going through the local route
04:26
where he's offering people to come to Puerto Rico but doing it
04:28
the right way, doing tourism the right way locally owned Airbnbs
04:31
owned by locals to shine a light on the
04:33
gentrification that's happening on here with a lot of Americans coming,
04:35
you know, with the tax incentives and all that.
04:37
He's really going above and beyond for,
04:39
for his people and to bring tourism.
04:43
And to support like local owned like businesses,
04:48
I love that he's a man of the people.
04:50
That's what I like about Bad Bunny.
04:52
in the, in the performance yesterday,
04:54
like he felt I could see he was so excited.
04:55
I've been to concerts of his in Miami where I live,
04:58
but here, like you could see the emotion.
04:59
He loves his people.
05:00
So I, I'm wondering because people are like,
05:03
He's not back because when he was dating Kendall,
05:05
anytime he posted about him,
05:09
We don't buy with him like that anymore.
05:14
He's out because his whole thing is about gentrification and stuff and
05:17
you know her with the tequila brand and all that.
05:19
I thought it was a PR stunt,
05:20
you know, to appeal to American consumers,
05:23
who knows. But at the end of the day with this
05:25
album showed us that when you go back to your roots and
05:27
you, you're authentic to your people and who you are,
05:29
oh, you can take over the world and that's truly what
05:32
he did. He came back to his roots.
05:33
So who is he gonna end up with?
05:34
Who, who should he end up with?
05:36
Gabriela. Exactly. Thank you.
05:38
He came back to his roots and his ex.
05:40
Maybe that's why he's always singing about her.
05:44
I love Gabriela. But Edison,
05:47
We really appreciate you being on the show.
05:50
Thanks. And for people that don't follow you,
05:51
plug your social so they can check you out.
05:53
Oh sure, I'm Sanor Edison,
05:56
with the TikTok ban.
05:56
I'm gonna go going on with that,
05:58
but you can follow him on Instagram and that new Chinese app
06:00
that I just downloaded.
06:02
Oh. I, I have my red.
06:07
You ready. You readying the culture,
06:09
spreading the culture since day one.
06:11
Thank you guys. Take care.
