Abstract
International music phenomenon Dangerous Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has ignited widespread dialogue along with his latest blunt declaration relating to his upcoming DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour: touring the continental United States is “pointless.” This forthright assertion, made in a latest interview with Selection, underscores the Puerto Rican celebrity’s distinctive method to his profession and his deep connection to his homeland.
The choice comes as Dangerous Bunny prepares for an in depth 30-night “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico, starting on July 11. This residency, whose title interprets to “I Don’t Need to Go away Right here,” is a deeply private mission for the artist, reflecting his profound emotional ties to his island. He confessed that finishing his final tour was difficult as a result of his focus was already on this deeply desired Puerto Rican chapter.
Whereas followers within the U.S. may be disillusioned, Dangerous Bunny was fast to level out that they’ve had “no scarcity of alternatives to see him carry out” over the previous six years, citing his huge 45-date “Most Needed Tour” within the U.S. in 2024. His DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour, set to kick off in November, will as an alternative deal with stadium dates throughout South America, Australia, Asia, and Europe, deliberately bypassing the U.S. mainland.
The artist’s candidness extends to the thought of a live performance movie for U.S. audiences. When requested if such a movie was within the works, Dangerous Bunny reportedly acknowledged it was “pointless” as nicely. His label CEO, Noah Assad, elaborated, mentioning that whereas most exhibits are recorded, there’s a deliberate alternative to not publish everlasting live performance footage, favoring stay, in-the-moment experiences for attendees. Nonetheless, Assad didn’t fully rule out the potential for a residency or world tour movie sooner or later, noting “there’s no stress on us.”
Dangerous Bunny’s choice, whereas seemingly uncommon for an artist of his international stature, is being interpreted by many as a strong assertion—not nearly tour logistics, however doubtlessly about his album’s themes of Puerto Rican pleasure and anti-colonialism, and even perhaps the present political local weather surrounding Hispanic immigrants within the U.S. Whatever the underlying motivations, it’s a transparent sign that Dangerous Bunny stays dedicated to doing issues his means, prioritizing his creative imaginative and prescient and his roots.
