Amplifying Puerto Rican History with Bad Bunny: Jorell Meléndez-Badillo's Mind-Blowing Collaboration

UW- Madison Historian Jorell Meléndez-Badillo joins us to share the inside story of his powerful collaboration with Bad Bunny. Tasked with creating 17 historical narratives to accompany the artist’s latest album, Jorell used the platform to highlight overlooked figures and moments in Puerto Rican history. From working with Benito’s team to having cultural and historical narratives from the collaboration presented before concerts. This mind-blowing experience pushed Puerto Rican history far beyond the classroom and into the global spotlight.
