Rebecca is joined by reggaeton scholar Petra Rivera-Rideau, who co-created the Bad Bunny Syllabus to provide historical and social context for Bad Bunny's music. His massive hit Un Verano Sin Tí  was the most globally streamed album of 2022 and the first Spanish-language album to be nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys. We speak about what makes him such a unique, versatile artist, and then delve into the ways Cuban and Puerto Rican music have diverged in recent decades. Songs played:Controversia, Ismael RiveraEl Apagón, Bad BunnyTiti Me Preguntó, Bad BunnyYo No Soy Celoso, Bad BunnySend us a textSupport the showYou can support this independently produced podcast by becoming a monthly subscriber - even $3/month helps!If you like this podcast, please hit "Follow" and give us a 5-star rating on Apple PodcastsFind The Clave Chronicles on Instagram, Facebook, & Threads @clavechronicleshttps://theclavechronicles.buzzsprout.comIntro and outro music: "Bengo Latino," Jimmy Fontanez/Media Right Productions
