The camera picks out a sweet-faced man in a Jibaro (the classic Puerto Rican straw hat). ‘Qué rico es ser latino?’ (how wonderful it is to be Latino), he sings. Despite being from the Cheshire/Wirral borders, I cheer in agreement. It was last Sunday, and I joined 128.2 million other souls, carried with joy, hope and love through Bad Bunny’s 13-minute Super Bowl halftime show.
What a ride: twirling into a wedding, crash landing through the ceiling of a family home, perching atop an electricity pole—a nod to Puerto Rico’s colonial-era electricity disaster. It was a celebration of resistance and resilience. My heartstrings were tugged, my emotions stirred.
