Bad Bunny stands today as one of the most influential cultural figures in global music, a Puerto Rican artist whose voice carries the sound of home into concert halls and headphones around the world. He sings in the Spanish he grew up speaking, shaped by family conversations and neighborhood humor that remain intact even when he performs far from Puerto Rico. That choice has shaped his career as much as any chart record or industry award.

This week, that influence received formal recognition when the Puerto Rican Academy of the Spanish Language issued a resolution honoring Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio for his role in expanding the global presence of Spanish through popular music and for placing Puerto Rican speech at the center of contemporary culture.

Puerto Rico’s Language Academy Credits Bad Bunny With Expanding Spanish Worldwide

Puerto Rican Spanish on a Global Stage

The Academy’s resolution frames Bad Bunny as the most internationally visible performer in contemporary Latin music and connects his career to the growing reach of Spanish across continents. His lyrics preserve Puerto Rican speech patterns, vocabulary, and tone without modification for international audiences.

His songs carry expressions rooted in everyday island life. He performs them without translation and without adjustment. Through repetition and visibility, those words now circulate through mainstream spaces with legitimacy.

Despite deeply local references, his work connects with listeners across borders and generations while keeping its original character.

Touring With Culture Intact

The recognition arrives as Bad Bunny continues his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour.

This Friday, he performs in Buenos Aires after appearances in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Chile. The tour then moves through Brazil, Australia, Japan, Spain, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Poland, and Italy before closing on July 22 in Belgium.

Each show carries visual and musical references to Puerto Rican life. Humor, memory, and social observation remain central to his performances.

His latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year earlier this month, becoming the first fully Spanish-language project to earn that honor.

The Super Bowl and a Continental Message

Bad Bunny reached one of his largest audiences during his Super Bowl halftime performance, which averaged 128.2 million viewers according to Nielsen.

Through staging and imagery, he presented America as an entire continent, displaying flags from across Latin America. The moment received strong support across the world.

A Voice That Remains His Own

The Academy’s recognition places Bad Bunny within a tradition where music and language move together.

His lyrics circulate expressions that once lived within families and neighborhoods. Those same words now appear in classrooms, media coverage, and international conversations without losing their original tone.

Consequently, his voice continues to carry Puerto Rico across continents, audience by audience, without dilution.
