The musician Rubén Blades has congratulated Bad Bunny on the X network for his award for album of the year at the Grammys, an event he described as “historic” and also applauded his speech in which he publicly spoke out “against violence and ICE abuses”.
The legendary Panamanian musician describes ICE’s activity as a “crusade against migrants, Latinos, non-Latinos and U.S. citizens themselves, including the fatal victims Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
The musician, who has more than a dozen Grammy awards, says in his publication: “You have to have conviction and courage to express yourself as Bad Bunny did”.
Blades’ powerful message to Bad Bunny
“Some people believe that criticizing a government’s or a president’s screw-ups makes the person who expresses an opinion a subversive, a communist or an enemy of the United States. On the contrary,” he adds, “to denounce what is wrong and oppose it is to place oneself on the side of good, in defense of the best aspects of the human spirit.”
It is the first time that the Grammy for album of the year goes to an album recorded entirely in Spanish: “This makes the moment unprecedented and therefore historic, although for some the fact leaves them ‘hysterical’,” says Blades.
DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’ became the first all-Spanish album to be crowned Album of the Year at the Grammys, beating out some of the night’s favorites such as Lady Gaga’s ‘Mayhem’ and Justin Bieber’s ‘Swag’.
According to Agencia EFE, the Puerto Rican added another three gramophones to his career by also winning the awards for best urban music album and best global music performance with ‘EoO’.
