Bad Bunny Celebrates Chilean Fans with Instagram Tribute and Past Concert Memories
Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny recently expressed his deep appreciation for his Chilean fanbase through a series of Instagram Stories, reflecting on years of support and memorable performances in the country. The tribute comes nearly two months after his performances in Santiago as part of his DeBÍ Tirar Más Fotos world tour.
A History of Mutual Appreciation
Bad Bunny highlighted Chile as one of the first nations to embrace Puerto Rican reggaeton culture in the early 2000s. He noted the reciprocal relationship, stating that Chile’s success in developing its own thriving reggaeton scene is no accident, given the country’s early support for Puerto Rican artists. “Just as they believed in and supported the incredible artists of Puerto Rico, they have done the same for me since 2016, and I will be forever grateful,” he wrote.
Early Memories and Concert Highlights
The artist reminisced about his first experiences in Chile, recalling visits dating back to 2017. He specifically mentioned performing at nightclubs, El Caupolicán, Viña del Mar’s Arena Movistar, and the Estadio Nacional. During his recent concerts at Estadio Nacional in February 2026, the Chilean audience enthusiastically chanted the name “120,” referencing his song from the album The Last Tour Of The World. While initially hesitant to deviate from his setlist, Bad Bunny’s band, Los Sobrinos, honored the Chilean audience by performing renditions of iconic Chilean anthems, including Víctor Jara’s “El Derecho de Vivir en Paz” and Violeta Parra’s “Gracias a La Vida.”
A Promise to Fans and Continued Support
Addressing the “120” chants, Bad Bunny promised his fans, “One day, we’ll sing ‘120’ together, I promise.” He further demonstrated his affection for Chile by sharing photos of the country’s landscapes, including mountains and vineyards, and spotlighting Chilean musicians like ’80s punk band Los Prisioneros and reggaeton artist Floyymenor.
Longstanding Connection
Bad Bunny’s connection with Chile extends back to 2020, when he collaborated with Chilean rapper Pablo Chill-E on the song “Hablamos Mañana,” featured on the album YHLQDLG. He also publicly acknowledged Chile during his performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, naming the country first when recognizing nations across the Americas.
