MIAMI.- The step of Bad Bunny by Brazil with his tour I should have taken more photos frame their first presentation in the South American country, with two consecutive concerts at the Allianz Parque in São Paulo. The Puerto Rican took advantage of this special occasion to pay tribute to one of the country’s great legends: the late soccer player Pele.
During the night of February 21, Bad Bunny surprised attendees by appearing with the original jacket that the soccer star used during the 1966 World Cup in England.
The piece was provided by collector Cássio Brandão, who has an archive of more than 7,000 historical items, reported Billboard. The collector assured that the artist’s team was extremely meticulous, as the jacket returned in perfect condition and in its original suitcase after being worn under the stage lights.
The connection with the King did not end there. In a direct nod to local culture, Bad Bunny modified the lyrics of his hit Monaco to sing “it’s like scoring a goal after Pelé and Maradona”, replacing the usual mention of Messi.
This tribute did not go unnoticed by the soccer star’s family, whose official Instagram account expressed its gratitude by mentioning that when a Latin artist the size of Bad Bunny honors the King on soil Brazilianwe understand that the crown continues to shine.
Caribbean roots
The evening had a touch of solemnity when Benito stopped the show to honor Willie Colón, the salsa icon who died that same weekend.
Before a moved crowd, the singer expressed that today one of the legends who contributed to this beautiful and legendary genre left, wishing eternal rest to the musician and strength to his family. Benito emphasized that the inspiration of the great masters will not die as long as there are talented young people keeping Caribbean rhythms alive.
After this emotional passage through South America, the tour I should have taken more photos prepares to conquer new territories. The Bad Rabbit now heads to Sydney and Tokyo, also marking its first foray onto the stages of Australia and Japan to close a chapter of global milestones.
