Dangerous Bunny’s “Débi Tirar Más Fotos” was named album of the yr at Sunday night time’s 68th Grammy Awards — the primary time a Spanish-language LP has gained the Recording Academy’s most prestigious prize.
Bunny delivered the speech primarily in Spanish.
“I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams,” he stated because the viewers rose to its toes.
“Puerto Rico, believe me when I say that we are so much bigger than 100 by 35 and there is nothing that exists that we can’t accomplish,” he stated in Spanish. “Thank God, thank you to the academy, thank you to all the people who have believed in me throughout my whole career. To all the people who worked on this album. Thank you, mami, for giving birth to me in Puerto Rico. I love you.”
“For all the people who have lost a loved one and even then have had to continue moving forward and continue with so much strength, this award is for you all.”
Intricately organized with the sounds of the singer and rapper’s native Puerto Rico, “Débi Tirar Más Fotos” was launched to rave opinions in January 2025 and rapidly reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Final summer time, Dangerous Bunny supported the mission with a 30-date live performance residency at San Juan’s José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum; he adopted that with the announcement of a world tour that averted the US, partially, he advised I-D journal, due to his concern that immigration brokers may flip up at reveals.
