San Juan.- Bad Bunny defended this Friday the immigrant communities from the policies of the American president, Donald Trump, and called for the unity of Latinos in the video of his song 'Nuevayol'.
'Together we are stronger', says a message at the end of the video, in which some young people listen on a radio to a speech that imitates a possible Trump regretting his deportation policies. "I made a mistake, I want to apologize to the immigrants in America, I mean in the United States. I know that America is the whole continent," says the voice broadcast on the radio.The 'Nuevayol' video was released on July 4, coinciding with the U.S. celebration of Independence Day.

In the video, the Statue of Liberty also appears with the Puerto Rican flag on its forehead and with the blue color of the flag in light blue, which is the tone used by those who reject the annexation of the island to the U.S. The population of Puerto Rico, a Free Associated State of the U.S., is divided between those who request that annexation (statehood) and those who ask for independence or greater sovereignty. The video for 'Nuevayol' begins with Bad Bunny walking on the snow and, upon getting into a vehicle, asks: "And when does this cold end, damn it?" Next, comes the celebration of a quinceañera, with its food and dances, and color and black and white images of the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York, the so-called 'nuyoricans'. In addition to the celebration, other typical Puerto Rican customs appear, such as the game of dominoes, which the diaspora has preserved. 'Nuevayol' is one of the tracks from Bad Bunny's latest album, 'Debí tirar más fotos', a tribute to his native island that achieved immediate worldwide success by fusing reggaeton with salsa and plena. Bad Bunny will offer an artistic residency of 30 shows, titled 'No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí', at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, in San Juan, from July 11 to September 14 next."I mean, this country is nothing without immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans," the voice adds.
