Podcasts about Puerto Ricans

As we celebrate the release of season three of Futuro Studios’ hit-show La Brega, we take you back to where it all first started: Season 1, Episode 1. Host Alana Casanova-Burgess sets out to define the many meanings of “la brega”—one of them being the struggle—and its ubiquity among Boricuas. Alana takes us from potholes, to protests and metaphors, to compile all of the possible meanings that lie within “la brega”, she looks at how it sometimes asks too much of Puerto Ricans and how, at the same time, the word itself has an innate sense of hope. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.

Alana Casanova-Burgess, host of the podcast La Brega, talks about the new season of La Brega, which spotlights Puerto Rico's champions, and what they teach us about Puerto Ricans and the diaspora.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Yadi, an anthropologist and fellow Puerto Rican living in Australia, to talk about what it really means to live far from your motherland and still keep your culture alive. There are less than 1% Latinos in Australia. There are even fewer Puerto Ricans. No restaurants. No food. No community hubs. No shared language in the streets. And yet… here we are. This conversation was inspired by Bad Bunny bringing his global tour to Australia, selling out two massive shows, and reminding us how deeply culture lives in the body, especially when you're far from home. We talk about diaspora, displacement, identity, grief for the motherland, and the responsibility of keeping culture alive for our children when it's not reinforced by the environment around us. This episode is for anyone who has ever: • Left their home country • Missed their people, food, music, or language • Felt invisible in a dominant culture • Had to become the culture carrier • Built family and community from scratch ✨ IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: • What it's like being Puerto Rican in a country that doesn't know Puerto Rico • The grief and beauty of living in diaspora • Relearning what our grandmothers knew instinctively • Raising children with cultural pride far away from home • Why music, food, and language matter more than we think • Finding each other when “your people” barely exist • Celebrating Puerto Rican identity in a non-latin country

Immigration and Customs Enforcement goons are murdering American citizens in Minneapolis, running concentration camps around the country - including Florida - and increasing their terror campaign in and around Orlando. The mission of ICE is to abuse Brown people, strike fear into their communities, and retrench white supremacy. Anthropologist and Puerto Rican/Hattian American Simone Delerme spent time studying the Latino community around Orlando, it's remarkable growth over the past 40 years, and how those residents are fitting into and remaking the area. Her book, "Latino Orlando," reveals her findings."Welcome to Florida" patrons receive exclusive access to our "Florida Conservation Newsletter" for only $5 per month.

In this episode, we're breaking down the lyrics to Nuevayol by the Puerto Rican superstar and future Super Bowl 2026 headliner, Bad Bunny.Joined by Puerto Rican linguist Adriana Lopez, we explore how this song pays homage to the legendary salsa group El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. Plus, you'll learn the cultural significance of the lyrics and the unique sounds of the Puerto Rican accent.What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Kiki and Quay discuss the dingbats defending Mariah The Scientist's engagement to Young Thug. The same dingbats saying that marriage doesn't benefit men. Washed up hood rappers saying f*ck the streets. The White rappers who want to be YNs now. And Quay hates Puerto Ricans.Basically we're racist against everybody. New rule, take a shot every time Quay says the Hard R and try not to die.

As 2025 draws to a close, we're taking a look back at one of the most consequential years in Puerto Rico's modern history. This special season recap episode of the Mano a Mano podcast brings together the most powerful moments from conversations with leading experts who've helped illuminate the interconnected challenges facing Puerto Rico and why these issues matter for all Americans.Host George Laws Garcia, Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Statehood Council, revisits compelling discussions that reveal how Puerto Rico's territorial status isn't just a local issue, it's deeply connected to American democracy, economic policy, healthcare equity, national security, and the fundamental question of whether the United States will live up to its founding principles for all its citizens.This year brought seismic shifts: the Trump administration's unprecedented firing of six Financial Oversight Board members with a single executive action, demonstrating the absolute power the federal government holds over 3.2 million U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico. We saw a $10,000 per-person federal healthcare funding gap that threatens medical access for 1.5 million Puerto Ricans. An ongoing energy crisis that continues blocking billions in disaster recovery funds. And a massive military buildup in the Caribbean as America pivots to confront threats from China, Russia, and Venezuela—all while Puerto Ricans serve without federal voting rights.Through expert analysis and personal insights, this recap connects the dots between constitutional law, fiscal policy, healthcare inequality, energy infrastructure, and geopolitical strategy. These aren't abstract political debates—they're about real people, real challenges, and the urgent need for real solutions through citizen equality and federal legislation.Featured Experts in This Episode:Professor Christina Ponsa-Kraus (Columbia Law School) - On the democratic deficit exposed by the Oversight Board crisis and why territorial "autonomy" is a colonial trapLuis Pizarro (Former President, Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce) - Breaking down the $10,000 healthcare funding gap between Puerto Rico and statesThomas King (Energy Policy Expert) - Explaining 40 years of energy mismanagement and why bankruptcy blocks reconstructionRetired Brigadier General Victor Paris (36 years in Puerto Rico National Guard) - On the unprecedented Caribbean military deployment and Puerto Rico's strategic importanceSimon Carlo Valentín (Tax Attorney & CPA) - How the MEDS Act could reshore manufacturing while creating jobs across distressed communitiesGabriela Boffelli (Senior Advisor to Governor Jennifer González-Colón) - The administration's priorities for hurricane preparedness, infrastructure deployment, and economic developmentThe Path Forward:Recognition isn't enough. We need action. This movement has grown throughout 2025, with more Americans—both on the island and stateside—recognizing that the current territorial status is unsustainable and unjust. But real change requires citizen engagement, federal legislation, and a collective commitment to making America live up to its founding promise of government by consent of the governed.

Almost half of Puerto Rico's doctors have fled the island over the past decade, leading to a lack of specialists and treatment and incredibly long wait times. And this isn't just an inconvenience. People are dying from lack of care. Why is Puerto Rico's health care system collapsing, and why are doctors fleeing the island? We take a look at its deeply dysfunctional private medical system and why attempts to fix it, and create a universal health care plan on the island, are being hindered by Puerto Rico's status as a US colony. Its massive unpayable debt, held by investors in the US, means that it cannot make its own economic decisions, even when it affects the livelihood of poor Puerto Ricans living there. But there might be a fix, getting rid of Puerto Rico's debt and rethinking its colonial relationship to the US. This episode first aired in October 2024.

It won't be a quiet four-month quest for Bad Bunny to return to the Super Bowl stage, this time as the halftime show headliner.U.S. President Donald Trump, his affiliates and America's Republican diaspora have gone full-fledge meltdown over the global superstar being tapped to perform on one of the world's biggest stages. They've even gone as far as attempting to create their version of an 'all American' halftime show - organized by Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA. But the Puerto Rican native seems to be taking the flack in stride, making light of the hate during an SNL opening monologue, warning Americans they only have four months to learn Spanish, which is the only language the performance will be done in.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Julyssa Lopez, Deputy Music Editor at Rolling Stone to discuss why MAGA has its eye on Bad Bunny, and how the messages of government officials and MAGA-adjacent figures play into the 'othering' of Puerto Ricans and Hispanic culture at large.

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known to the world as Bad Bunny, just made historic waves in Puerto Rico and across the global Latin music scene. This past weekend marked the emotional end of his "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" residency with one final, monumental concert in San Juan. According to the Associated Press, Saturday's concert aligned with the eighth anniversary of Hurricane Maria, transforming the event into both a tribute and a rallying cry for Puerto Ricans. Singing from the rooftop of a symbolic Puerto Rican house at the venue, Bad Bunny reminded everyone of the power, resilience, and pride of his island, and he wasn't alone—Marc Anthony made a surprise appearance for the classic “Preciosa,” driving fans into an uproar as the lyrics echoed, "I love you, Puerto Rico."The magnitude of these concerts can't be overstated. Over half a million people attended throughout the residency, generating an estimated $733 million for Puerto Rico, notes a Gaither International study. Most fans came from across Latin America and Europe, with the entire series streamed worldwide on Amazon Music, Prime Video, and Twitch, making it the first time Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico shows were available outside the island.The residency finale was more than a concert; it was a night of solidarity and catharsis, with memories of Hurricane Maria looming for many in attendance. Many fans wore the number of storm victims on shirts and flags, turning the event into both a celebration and a shared moment of remembrance. Fans outside the venue, both those who got tickets and those who tried for hours only to come up short, reflected the emotional intensity Bad Bunny has always evoked among Puerto Ricans.Bad Bunny took time during the residency, and especially in this final show, to highlight struggles still facing his homeland. He addressed ongoing power grid failures and criticized slow recovery efforts. According to recent government reports cited in local press, over 92% of reconstruction projects remain incomplete in Puerto Rico, continuing to frustrate residents year after year.The final show, live-streamed globally for free, was also paired with new efforts offstage. Bad Bunny's partnership with Amazon now extends to educational and agricultural initiatives in Puerto Rico, aiming to boost tech resources for local students, provide educational support, and promote Puerto Rican-owned businesses through a new “comPRa Local” storefront.In a recent i-D magazine interview, Bad Bunny explained why his upcoming global tour will notably skip the continental United States—he cited concerns that Immigration and Customs Enforcement might intimidate or target fans at his U.S. shows. While he reassured stateside fans of his affection for them, he made it clear that the safety of his followers and the unique context of his Puerto Rican residency weighed heavily on the decision. Instead, his world tour kicks off in the Dominican Republic, with stops across Latin America, Europe, and Australia.On the music front, Bad Bunny's latest album "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," released earlier this year, continues to dominate charts and playlists everywhere. Music news site InMusic Blog calls it one of the “most anticipated projects” of 2025, and it shows no signs of slowing down as he preps for a demanding international tour.Bad Bunny's message at the conclusion of his residency was one of unity and hope, urging fans to hold onto love no matter the struggle. As fans embraced, cheered, and sang late into the night, it was clear this was more than just a closing act—it was a defining cultural moment.Thanks for tuning in to this week's update.

Puerto Rico's power crisis just took a sharp turn this week after President Donald Trump removed most of the island's financial oversight board. The move comes amid a tense legal fight with Wall Street bondholders over the utility's billions of dollars in debt and raises fears that Puerto Ricans could be stuck paying the full price for a failing electric grid. POLITICO's Gloria Gonzalez breaks down the board shake-up, the backlash, and what it means for Puerto Rico's energy future. Plus, the Trump administration is escalating its onslaught of actions against U.S. offshore wind development. Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO and the host of POLITICO Energy.

Bad Bunny, one of the most-streamed artists on the planet, is in the middle of his 30-concert residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico titled No me Querio Ir de Aqui, or "I don't want to leave here". Much like his latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, it is both a celebration of Puerto Rican culture and heritage but also a statement against the political and economic forces that have worked against the well-being and livelihoods of people on the island.With Petra Rivera Rideau, Associate Professor of American Studies at Wellesley College and the author of Remixing Reggaeton: The Cultural Politics of Race in Puerto Rico, we take a look at the message of Bad Bunny's album and concert residency, the political and historical context behind the work and how he fits into a generation of young Puerto Ricans hungry for change.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Bad Bunny is making global headlines and lighting up social media thanks to an electrifying week in Puerto Rico, where he launched his historic “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan. He surprised his fans by releasing the brand-new single “Alambre Púa” on July 14, just days after debuting the track as the show opener. This song, whose title means “Barbed Wire,” marks Bad Bunny's first new music since his chart-topping January album *Debí Tirar Más Fotos*.The residency itself is a major cultural event, comprising 30 shows and expected to draw more than half a million fans before wrapping up on September 14. According to The Los Angeles Times, Bad Bunny began the series with high emotion, calling on Puerto Ricans to fight gentrification and government neglect, and expressing a profound sense of local pride. During the opening concert, he addressed the crowd directly about the importance of protecting the island and its culture, and even performed a décima inspired by threats facing the archipelago.“Alambre Púa,” produced by Tainy and Luis Ahmed Irizarry, is distinguished by its innovative fusion of Puerto Rican bomba and plena rhythms with electronic elements, over which Bad Bunny weaves lyrics about yearning and bittersweet love. Listeners get lines like “Como tú ninguna se ve” and “Si me deja' te hago un bebé,” capturing both tenderness and desire. The music video, released alongside the single, features a woman dancing on a beach that's revealed to be a soundstage, echoing the residency's theme of constructed reality and deep roots in Puerto Rican identity. The iconic residency message, “No me quiero ir de aquí” (“I don't want to leave here”), is featured prominently, reinforcing Bad Bunny's emotional connection to his homeland.Social media is buzzing not only because of the new song and performances, but also thanks to a star-studded opening weekend that included NBA superstar LeBron James joining Bad Bunny on stage to dance. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram have been sharing snippets and reviews raving about the immersive, culturally infused productions, and the set's emphasis on salsa history, with Bad Bunny leading his live band in vintage ‘70s attire.Adding to the excitement, this residency is notable for opening its first nine shows exclusively to Puerto Rico residents. All dates have sold out, and the colossal demand underlines Bad Bunny's deep bond with his island and his fans. After Puerto Rico, he'll embark on an international tour through Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, notably skipping the mainland U.S. This has sparked speculation that it's a political statement, though he's only said visiting the U.S. isn't “necessary.”Away from music, Bad Bunny's star continues to rise in film as well. He's booked roles in the upcoming Adam Sandler comedy *Happy Gilmore 2* and Darren Aronofsky's crime thriller *Caught Stealing*, further expanding his reach and influence in global entertainment.For Bad Bunny's followers, the message of the week is clear: he is celebrating his island roots, pushing creative boundaries, and calling for fans to cherish their homeland and culture. Listeners are reminded that they're not just experiencing another tour, but a transformative, historic moment in Latin music and pop culture.Thank you for tuning in.

Bad Bunny, the global superstar born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is making headlines this week with the release of his striking new music video for “NUEVAYoL,” the lead single from his most recent album *DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS*. The video premiered on July 4th, a deliberate choice meant to both coincide with and challenge the meaning of American Independence Day. As reported by Los40, Bad Bunny responded simply “sí” when questioned by a fan about timing the drop for this symbolic date, underscoring his intent to reframe the holiday through a Puerto Rican perspective.The “NUEVAYoL” video is much more than a visual spectacle; it's a layered statement about identity, colonialism, and Latin pride. According to Harper's Bazaar, Bad Bunny uses the video to deliver an unflinching critique of former President Donald Trump and the U.S. policy toward immigrants. The most arresting moments include a Puerto Rican independence flag raised atop the Statue of Liberty and a satirical, regret-filled audio staged to sound like a presidential apology to America's immigrant communities. The video weaves together images of celebration, struggle, and resistance, all set to a modernized take on classic Latin music—its very title riffing on El Gran Combo's “Un verano en Nueva York,” an anthem for the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York City.Marca details how Bad Bunny's approach is to fuse entertainment with strong social messages, using his platform to address the lived realities and challenges of Latinos in the United States. By situating the release in New York, a city that has long served as a cultural bridge for Latinos, especially Puerto Ricans, Bad Bunny reclaims both space and narrative. Each scene in the video is loaded with symbolism, from the party atmosphere reminiscent of the city's vibrant neighborhoods to the explicit nods to political and social struggles.The album *DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS* itself has been recognized as a reggaeton masterpiece and a love letter to Puerto Rico. As featured by Staged Haze, Bad Bunny uses the project to explore themes of nostalgia, identity, and resistance, fusing reggaeton with native Puerto Rican genres like plena and salsa. The album's title, “I Should Have Taken More Photos,” hints at both personal reflection and the importance of preserving cultural memory.On social media, the response has been electric. TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) have been flooded with reactions to “NUEVAYoL,” many praising Bad Bunny for turning a national holiday into a powerful platform for immigrant voices and Puerto Rican pride.The significance of Bad Bunny's latest moves isn't limited to music. As his influence expands into popular culture, including a recent cameo in the trailer for Adam Sandler's upcoming “Happy Gilmore 2” and his ongoing Most Wanted Tour (which remains one of the highest-grossing of 2024), his voice continues to resonate. The ongoing protests against anti-immigrant policies and ICE raids in cities like Los Angeles have only amplified the relevance of his message, with Bad Bunny remaining an outspoken critic of these injustices.Thanks for tuning in to this week's update on Bad Bunny.

Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines and social media this week with a series of bold artistic moves and major cultural statements. Just days ago, he premiered the music video for “NUEVAYoL,” the lead single from his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, intentionally dropping it on July 4th. This release date was not chosen at random; Bad Bunny's decision reframes American Independence Day through a Puerto Rican and immigrant lens, sparking conversation across the internet. According to Los40, he confirmed the date with a simple “sí” to a fan online, making it clear this was a deliberate act.The “NUEVAYoL” video is already causing waves for its political and cultural impact. Set in New York neighborhoods with deep Puerto Rican roots—like the Bronx and Harlem—the video pays homage to the Nuyorican legacy and features updated references to the classic salsa anthem “Un verano en Nueva York.” But the real headline is its unapologetic pro-immigrant message. About halfway through the video, there's a striking sequence where a Donald Trump impersonation plays over a 1970s-style boombox, with the voice declaring, “I want to apologize to the immigrants in America… this country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans.” The visuals reinforce the statement, showing Puerto Rican flags, quinceañera celebrations, and everyday life in New York, ending with the phrase, “Juntos somos más fuertes”—“Together we are stronger.” Outlets like New India Abroad, Harper's Bazaar, and Hits Daily Double agree: this is Bad Bunny's most pointedly political work yet and lands at a time when immigration is hotly debated in the United States, especially with Congress passing new powers for immigration enforcement just days before.Beyond his music video, Bad Bunny is gearing up for a massive summer: his 30-show residency in Puerto Rico, entitled “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí,” begins July 11 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. This residency is both a homecoming and a love letter to his island roots, and according to Travel Noire, all shows are already sold out. He's also announced a global stadium tour for later in the year, with stops across Latin America, Europe, and Asia.Bad Bunny's new album and recent singles are being praised for their deeply personal and socially conscious direction. The album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, explores nostalgia, memory, and the immigrant experience. Rolling Stone and Variety report that Bad Bunny feels an obligation to use his platform to speak out on social and political issues, even if it makes some uncomfortable. He's committed to being a voice for Latinx unity, resilience, and pride, as he told Rolling Stone: “I'm going to talk, and whoever doesn't like it doesn't have to listen to me.”Thank you for tuning in to today's update on all things Bad Bunny.

What if I told you the U.S. spends over $40 billion a year propping up a colony that doesn't want to be part of America? That's right. In this episode, we dive into the explosive topic of Puerto Rican independence - not as some far-off hypothetical, but as a moral, political, and economic crisis happening right now under our noses. Why isn't this making national headlines? Because the truth threatens the status quo. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Puerto Rico isn't some willing stepchild of the United States. It's a nation that never asked to be adopted, much less controlled by unelected bureaucrats via an economic junta installed by Washington. This episode peels back the curtain on the PROMESA Act, the U.S. occupation, and the colonial mindset that's been force-fed to Puerto Ricans for over 100 years. Javier Hernandez joins me to tell the truth most media won't touch. But we don't stop at history. We talk dollars and cents: what it's costing you, the American taxpayer. Spoiler alert - independence would save the U.S. over $600 billion in the long run. That's money we could be using to fix our roads, support our veterans, or reduce the deficit. Why aren't more fiscal conservatives talking about this? We also break down the cultural clash at play. Javier makes it crystal clear - Puerto Ricans are not assimilating. They don't want to be the 51st state. They want dignity, sovereignty, and economic opportunity on their own terms. So the real question becomes: are we going to be the empire we fought to escape from? By the end of this episode, you'll see why Puerto Rican independence isn't just some niche issue. It's a test of our values, our fiscal sanity, and our respect for liberty. This is one of the most powerful and eye-opening conversations we've had on The Brian Nichols Show – and it's one that every American needs to hear. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!
