    Bad Bunny Looking Forward to Bringing the Best Shows in History After Pandemic Ends

    WENN

    The ‘Un Dia’ hitmaker vows to create shows that are ‘the best in the world’ and ‘the best in history’ when he returns to the stage after the Covid-19 crisis is over.

    Dec 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bad Bunny has promised to bring a “totally new energy” and create the best shows “in history” when he is allowed to play in front of audiences again.
    The Puerto Rican rapper has assured his fans they will be in for a treat when he is able to tour again once the coronavirus crisis comes to an end.
    Asked what his future shows will be like, Bad Bunny said, “The best in the world, the best in history – I swear that’s how I feel and what I want.”
    “Just before the pandemic and lockdown, we were getting all the details and experiences down for the next tour, and it had been incredible to see everything coming together.”

    “Now, with all that’s happened, the feeling is different. When we do finally get onstage, it’s going to be a totally new energy. It’s going to feel really special, I think, taking everything we had already planned and adding what we’re thinking about now.”
    The “Un Dia” hitmaker, whose real name is Benito Ocasio – was recently named Spotify’s most-streamed artist of the year but he’s not letting the achievements go to his head.
    He told Rolling Stone, “The truth is, I enjoy (making music): it’s what I like the most. If there’s recognition with that, it’s extra. I’m satisfied just with getting to do what I do and having people around me who listen and support my ideas. But obviously, it feels great and makes me proud.”
    Bad Bunny admits that he needs to come up with some other hobbies in 2021 as he devotes so much time to making music.
    He explained, “I spend so much time creating, and I have more plans to keep working. Outside of music, I don’t know. I need to come up with new hobbies. I don’t have a hobby that isn’t music – it’s my work, my play, my way of relaxing. I need to sit down and find some other stuff to do.”

  • J Balvin and Bad Bunny Dominate 2020 Latin Grammy Nominations

    WENN

    Balvin and Bunny lead the 2020 nominees with thirteen and nine nods respectively, joining the likes of Rosalia, Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, and Karol G on the list.
    Sep 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – J Balvin and Bad Bunny lead the nominees at the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards with 13 and nine nominations.
    Both stars are nominated twice in the prestigious Album of the Year category – for their solo LPs “Colores” and “YHLQMDLG”, respectively, along with the collaborative record “Oasis”.
    Balvin will also compete against himself for Record of the Year for “Rojo” and “China”, also starring Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, and Ozuna – who comes in third with eight nods.
    The nominations show a clear shift from the 2019 prizegiving, which saw organisers criticised for sidelining reggaeton and Latin trap stars in favour of established acts making more traditional Spanish-language pop. Balvin skipped last year’s ceremony in protest.

    In a statement, Latin Recording Academy President and CEO Gabriel Abaroa, Jr. said, “Over the last year, we continued engaging in discussions with our members to improve the awards process and actively encouraged diverse Latin music creators to join and participate.”
    Anuel AA, singer Karol G who’s up for record of the year and song of the year with “Tusa”, her duet with Nicki Minaj, producers Sky and Tainy who work closely in the studio with Balvin and Bad Bunny, and reggaeton pioneer Daddy Yankee also land nominations.
    Meanwhile, Rosalia, whose “El Mal Querer” was named album of the year at the 2019 Latin Grammys, has four nominations this time, including Urban Fusion Performance and Urban Song for her and Ozuna’s “Yo X Ti, Tu X Mi”.
    Winners will be announced during a televised ceremony which will be “anchored” in Miami on 19 November (20), according to the Academy’s statement. Performances will take place from multiple cities around the world.
