In addition to the visualizers, Bad Bunny released a short film featuring an animated toad called Concho.
Wow!
I really like that photo.
Concho is not just any toad.
He's a... The Puerto Rican crested toad.
It is endemic to Puerto Rico.
It's also endangered and at risk of disappearing.
In the short film, Concho is talking with famed Puerto Rican director Jacobo Morales about how the Puerto Rican way of life is also disappearing due to gentrification.
Morales tells Concho that he should have... I should have taken more pictures.
I should have taken more photos, lived more.
I should have loved more when I could.
A nod to the titular song.
I would say that he tirar mรกs fotos is a kind of irreverent ode to Puerto Rican roots music.
And it's also his coming out party as an independentist.
Well, obviously, lo que le pasรณ a Hawรกi is...
He sings, they want to take my river and my beach too.
They want my neighborhood and for grandma to leave.
No, no, don't let go of the flag or forget the le lo lai.
I don't want Puerto Rico to become Hawaii, which is a state.
And he's asking people to not let go of the Puerto Rican flag, meaning we are our own nation.
