What Bad Bunny means to Puerto Ricans

This summer, the island of Puerto Rico was under the thrall of Bad Bunny. His 31-concert residency at a stadium in San Juan was a homecoming for the global superstar.

NPR’s Adrian Florido reports on how the concerts resonated with Puerto Ricans on and off the island.
