Bad Bunny made history at the 68th Grammy Awards after his album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” became the first Spanish-language album to win Album of the Year.
For many Latinos in the United States, the win is more than a music award. Fans and community leaders say it represents recognition, pride, and belonging, especially at a time when Latino communities face political pressure and cultural discrimination.
Bad Bunny, who has never changed his language or softened his identity to succeed, used his Grammy speeches to defend immigrants and speak out against hate, saying love is stronger than hatred. His victory is widely seen as proof that Latino culture and Spanish-language music are now central to American pop culture, not just a separate category.
