Thousands of fans packed River Plate’s Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires on Friday for the first of three sold-out concerts by Puerto Rican reggaeton star Bad Bunny, as part of his “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” World Tour.
Concertgoers travelled from across Argentina to attend the show, with some making the 650-kilometre journey from cities such as Bahía Blanca to see the global music icon perform live.
Many fans described a deep personal connection to the artist, whose real name is Benito Martínez Ocasio.
“I feel like he really connects with us,” said 18-year-old Araceli Lezcano. “He makes albums that connect with everyone equally. He represents freedom of expression. He makes diverse songs about different ways we can feel and love.”
Lezcano added that the track ¿Qué pasó con Hawaii? touches on both political and personal themes, including love and breakups. “I feel like he’s very diverse,” she said.
For 20-year-old Ramiro Prieto, the journey to Buenos Aires was months in the making.
“We bought the ticket months ago and came from Bahía Blanca to see him because I love him with all my heart,” he said. “For me he meant salvation in my life since I was very young. Bad Bunny — Benito — was there in very important moments of my life through his music.”
Prieto said simply seeing the artist live would be “mind-blowing”.
Others highlighted the singer’s global cultural influence.
“I believe today he’s the most influential artist worldwide,” said 22-year-old Tomás Córdoba. “Having the opportunity for him to come here and enjoying it feels like a success.”
Lucía Neri, 21, said Bad Bunny’s recent Super Bowl halftime performance resonated strongly with Latino audiences.
“I feel like he represented Latinos so much,” she said. “He represented the community, especially at this moment. Seeing him after that is going to be incredible.”
The Buenos Aires concerts follow Bad Bunny’s high-profile Super Bowl appearance, which several fans said marked an important cultural milestone for Latino representation on the global stage.
The Argentine capital is the latest stop on a world tour that continues to draw sold-out crowds across multiple continents.
