Days before announcing his Super Bowl performance, Bad Bunny and his friend Residente met in the kitchen of the famous “Casita” at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico to talk about the stories behind his residency and his album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS his roles in Happy Gilmore 2 and Caught Stealing and why he would have loved for Tego Calderón and Drake to attend his show.
Bad Bunny: I knew you were throwing me a curveball that was going to put me on the spot!
Residente: Well, Benito, I love this. It’s amazing to be able to interview you, seriously. No, no, no, for me it’s really special for many, many reasons. But the first thing I wanted to ask you because I think it’s cool, so people have a context about everything is understanding your head, your logic behind the art ad the concept of this concert, such as the little house, the mountain, where does that cone from? What did you think when you started putting all this together?
Bad Bunny: No, the way I work, I’ve always said that it’s a little disorganized. Specifically with this show, the first idea, the first thing was the mountain. I had this wish and this fantasy of putting a mountain like that in the middle of the Choli. I literally said, “I want a mountain,” as if they grabbed a piece of mountain from the middle of the island like that and they put it in the Choli. And as all concerts need a screen and all that, so I said, I came up with the idea of a billboard with, with everything that was being done with the billboards, the messages, and it seemed to me that it was like part of the concept also a billboard there in the mountain messing up nature. And that was the screen, the screen that people saw, when I show that concept, then the team that worked on the mountain presented this thing about the Flamboyan tree, the banana plantation, things that I didn’t have in my main idea and they were like, I love it when people surprise me with idea that didn’t occur to me.
Keep watching for more!
