Miami.- The popular Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny presented this Friday a preview of the show that he will star in on February 8 during the halftime of the Super Bowl, in collaboration with Apple Music, and in which he promises that "the world will dance" that night.
In the video, published on YouTube, the singer is seen with a mobile phone in his hand while listening to his song 'An unforgettable dance', until he turns up the volume and several people come out of the darkness surrounding him and begin to dance with him.
Bad Bunny doesn't take long to move his hips to the rhythm of his own music. The people dancing are of all ages and from different ethnic groups, offering an image of unity, at a time when the United States is going through a major anti-immigrant wave due to the decisions of the American president, Donald Trump.
The Puerto Rican artist will become the first Latino man to star in the halftime show of the National Football League (NFL) championship final on February 8th.
