Bad Bunny Makes History At Super Bowl LX Performance

Posted on by swadedavillain

Fresh from creating History at the 68th annual GRAMMY Awards on February 1, Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny doubles up with his appearance at the Super Bowl LX/Apple Music Halftime Show. Since its announcement in 2025, Bad Bunny has been met with praises, but was also met with negative feedback from Conservatives in the US, with threats and shady remarks daily on Social and traditional Media. Despite it all, the Artist holds the spot for being the first Artist to perform primarily in Spanish, and what a time was had.

Bad Bunny entered with that Puerto Rican energy, and a load of culture as he kicked off his set with a series of tracks from his growing catalogue. Joined by a Band, a few Dancers, and a couple that got married on the set, he made a statement throughout his performance, highlighted elements of Puerto Rican life locally and overseas, brought out Lady Gaga, Karol G, Jessica Alba, Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Ricky Martin, and his GRAMMY award, and performed tracks like “Yo Perreo Sola“, “Monaco“, “DtMF“, “EoO“, “NUEVAYoL“, and “Tití Me Preguntó” before shouting out North America, Central America, and South America in closing. He did it for the culture, and negative forces couldn’t stop it. Salute Bad Bunny! The only thing more powerful than hate, is love.

.@IvyQueenDiva Fires Off Her “Flow De Revista”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Queen returns for 2026 with new music. Which Queen? Ivy Queen, the Queen of Reggaeton! She celebrates 31 years of music this year, and she still moves with the best of them in the genre. She stayed busy last year, releasing music and performing, and she continues to show no age with her work ethic. This time around, she premieres her “Flow De Revista“.

Co-Produced with Yarek Orsini and William III Colon, Ivy Queen keeps the vibes going at a high level in, “Flow De Revista”. Listeners will be locked in to her sound, and move to the production because though Ivy is sharp with her lyrics, she’s making everyone dance. She follows up the single with a music video as well, and it was directed by Jack Nine Films. 30 years being successful in one lane is no easy feat, and we salute the Queen, and may she reign for more years to come.

OLDIES SUNDAY: @Ricky_Martin – María (1995)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s that time of year again, it’s “Hispanic Heritage Month” on “Oldies Sunday“! Hispanic Americans continue to make significant contributions to entertainment, sports, and pop culture, and we have highlighted a number of them. Today’s selection comes from Puerto Rico via Ricky Martin’s “María“.

Produced by KC Porter, Tom Vickers, and Steve Berkowitz and released through Columbia/Sony Music Mexico in 1995, Ricky Martin had his eyes set on a lovely, but dangerous Woman named, “María”. Inspired by the sounds of Mariachi from Mexico and how proud the people are of their heritage, Martin created a Spanish Language song that incorporated Flamenco, Dance, and Salsa, paying homage to the Latin sounds that were prevalent in Puerto Rico. The original version of “María” had a slower tempo, and was met with resistance from his label to release it. It soon became a public release after much back and forth, and was included on his 3rd studio album, “A Medio Vivir“.

“María” enjoyed great reception, becoming Ricky Martin’s breakout International single, but things took a turn for something epic when Puerto Rican DJ Pablo Flores remixed the song. Increasing the tempo and adding extra production, the “Spanglish Remix” of “María” took the world by storm, became a Samba megahit, and helped to launch the advent of Latin and Dance music crossovers. The original and remixed version enjoyed top placements on charts globally, but the remix went on to set a record for becoming the biggest Latin hit as it went on to sell over 5 Million records, and secured spots in the greatest Latin music releases of all time lists.

Since the release of “María”, Ricky Martin went on to become a Latin Music phenomenon, producing multiple hits, and becoming an Icon in the 90s and 2000s. He was a former member of the Puerto Rican Boy Band Menudo, but his solo career fared much better, as he became the face of the “Latin Pop explosion” in the 1990s, and one of the best-selling Artists of all time. He also ventured into acting with stints in TV shows and Broadway plays, but is still very active in music. “María” continues to secure its place in Pop Culture. Wepa!

Thank You Ricky Martin For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Irene Cara – Flashdance…What A Feeling (1983)

Posted on by swadedavillain

We’re celebrating “Hispanic Heritage Month” on Oldies Sunday. Hispanic Americans continue to make significant contributions to entertainment, sports, and pop culture, and we have highlighted a number of them. Today’s feature comes from American Singer of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent Irene Cara with her single, “Flashdance…What A Feeling“.

Produced by Giorgio Moroder and released through Casablanca Records in 1983, Irene Cara had the people moving with “Flashdance…What A Feeling”. The Dance-Pop single shared lyrics of believing in yourself, letting the music move you, and doing something great to be a success even when the odds are stacked against you. “Flashdance” was a single on the soundtrack for the 1983 Film of the same name and it was used in a pivotal part of the Film, and went on to become a #1 Billboard Hot 100-charting hit, a Gold certification, a GRAMMY award for “Best Female Pop Vocal Performance“, and Academy and Golden Globe awards for “Best Original Song“. In 2023, it was chosen by the Library Of Congress for inclusion in the National Recording Registry. It also pushed the soundtrack to go 6x Platinum.

Since the release of “Flashdance…What A Feeling”, Irene Cara went on to release more music, acted in numerous Films and Broadway productions, and collaborated with a number of Artists before passing away in 2022. “Flashdance…What A Feeling” remains one of her most successful singles.
