Puerto Rican singer sells out concerts in Portuguese-speaking Brazil with breakthrough ‘anti-American agenda of emancipation’
There is a saying in Brazil that Brazilians realise they are Latin only when they travel to the US or Europe.
Among the many reasons for this is that the largest country in Latin America is also the only one in the region where Portuguese is spoken rather than Spanish.
It is, therefore, not surprising that Spanish-speaking artists have historically struggled to break into Brazil’s music scene – with a few notable exceptions, the latest of whom is Bad Bunny.
He is set to perform two sold-out shows this Friday and Saturday for more than 40,000 people a night at a football stadium in São Paulo.
