Overview of the Event
Bad Bunny, the most-streamed Puerto Rican artist globally, is set to perform a surprise final concert titled “Una Más” on September 20, 2025, at the Coliseo José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This concert marks the conclusion of his successful residency “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí,” which included 30 sold-out shows from July to September 2025. The date is significant as it commemorates the eighth anniversary of Hurricane Maria, a tragedy that Bad Bunny has addressed in his music, notably in his song “Una Velita.”
Streaming and Accessibility
The concert will be streamed live and free of charge on Amazon Music, Prime Video, and Twitch, allowing fans worldwide to participate in this historic event. The live stream begins at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time, with a replay available for 24 hours post-broadcast. This accessibility reflects Bad Bunny's commitment to his fans and his roots in Puerto Rico.
Economic and Cultural Impact
The residency has had a substantial economic impact on Puerto Rico, generating over $400 million for the local economy and boosting tourism and local businesses. Bad Bunny's collaboration with Amazon extends beyond entertainment; it includes initiatives aimed at supporting Puerto Rican communities through educational programs and agricultural aid. Rocio Guerrero, Director of Music, Latin-Iberia at Amazon Music, emphasized that the partnership aims to transform Bad Bunny's passion for Puerto Rico into tangible benefits for its people.
Community Engagement and Initiatives
The concert is part of a broader mission to enhance educational access and economic development in Puerto Rico. Amazon is launching comPRa Local, a storefront for Puerto Rican goods, during the live stream, allowing a global audience to support local artisans and producers. This initiative aims to create lasting connections between culture and commerce, benefiting both small and larger suppliers.
Criticism & Opposition
While the concert and its associated initiatives have been widely celebrated, some critics argue that the focus on commercial partnerships may overshadow the cultural significance of the event. Concerns have been raised about whether the economic benefits will be equitably distributed among the local population.
