Here’s How Bad Bunny Is Connecting His Listeners to Their Latin Roots
Bad Bunny’s new album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, is bringing the community together. Not only does this Puerto Rican masterpiece remind us of the island’s rich history, but it also helps us connect to our own family roots through its lyrics and music — making the album deeply personal.
From TikTok trends to learning salsa, here’s how social media users are using the Puerto Rican singer’s album to rediscover and celebrate their family roots.
The “DtMF” TikTok Trend
Who would’ve thought a single song could evoke so much nostalgia? One of the album’s fan-favorite songs, “DtMF,” has recently sparked a new trend on social media. The trend involves users posting photos and videos of loved ones they’ve lost, expressing regret for not capturing more memories when they had the chance.
With heartfelt lyrics like, “Debí tirar más fotos de cuando te tuve / Debí darte más beso’ y abrazo’ las vece’ que pude” — which translates to “I should’ve taken more pictures when I had you / I should’ve given you more kisses and hugs whenever I could” — the song is the perfect tribute to remembering those precious moments we often take for granted.
The trend gained so much traction that even Bad Bunny himself noticed. He shared his sentimental reaction to the videos in a touching post.
Connecting with Family Roots Through Dance
If you haven’t listened to the album yet, it features salsa and plena — two traditional music genres of Puerto Rico. Songs like “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” and “NUEVAYoL” incorporate salsa, sparking interest in how to dance to the genre.
Dancing salsa can be a meaningful way to connect with family roots, especially if your parents or grandparents used to dance — or still do. Imagine how beautiful it would be to share a moment on the dance floor with your loved ones, reminding them of the moves they’ve cherished over the years.
The Album Cover
Many social media users have also connected deeply with the album cover, which features two simple plastic chairs. This imagery resonates with people across cultures, reminding them that some of life’s best conversations happen in the humblest settings.
