Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny returned to Santiago's Estadio Nacional with a nearly three-hour concert centered on the album Debí tirar más fotos, blending reggaetón, salsa, and bolero. The show featured local tributes, pyrotechnics, and a 'little house' segment, before a packed crowd that cheered every moment. Chuwi, his opening act, kicked off the night with their Caribbean fusion.
Bad Bunny kicked off his 2026 international tour in Chile after his Puerto Rico residency, following stops in Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, and Mexico. Fifteen minutes late, he took the Estadio Nacional stage in a salsa-style suit, backed by brass and percussion. 'Aprieta chamaquito que llegamos a Chile', he shouted to the crowd, which responded with ovations. 'No es casualidad que yo quería arrancar el año 2026 con ustedes', he remarked, emphasizing the Latin connection.
The show paid tribute to Víctor Jara with 'El derecho de vivir en paz' on Puerto Rican cuatro, leading into 'Pitorro de coco'. The central stage setup evoked a Latin American town stadium, with bolero arrangements for 'Turista' and salsa for 'Callaíta'. 'Este show es sobre ustedes, la unión de Puerto Rico, Chile y América Latina', Bad Bunny declared.
The opening block ended with 'Baile inolvidable' and 'NUEVAYoL', lit by fireworks. Next came 'la casita', inspired by Puerto Rican homes, where animated character Concho referenced completos and pastel de choclo, earning cheers. There he performed 'VeLDÁ', 'Titi me preguntó', 'VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR', and 'Me porto Bonito', inviting a fan onstage.
Exclusive to Chile, 'SOY PEOR' played in trap style, followed by 'MONACO'. Pleneros de la cresta transitioned with traditional rhythms. The finale featured 'Ojitos lindos', 'KLOuFRENS', 'BOKeTE', 'El apagón', 'DtMF', and 'EoO', after nearly three hours of relentless energy.
Chuwi, a Puerto Rican quartet from Isabela formed in 2019, opened the three nights. Collaborators on 'WELTiTA' from Debí tirar más fotos, they blend pop, salsa, and Caribbean tradition in EPs like Pan and Tierra. Their recent Tiny Desk and lyrics on migration and environment position them as a rising Latin act.
