Bad Bunny’s ‘Una Velita’ Is a Little Candle of Hope After a Hurricane
On “Una Velita,” Bad Bunny addresses the devastating effects of Hurricane Maria on his native Puerto Rico and the rest of the Caribbean in 2017. The music is based on a swirling, doleful guitar line, which a choir and percussion section mix up until he takes over with his own sighing, lachrymal verses. A visualizer video reflects the mood of the song, focusing on candles lighting a dark room during a blackout; the song title translates to “a little candle.”
The lyrics, in Spanish, describe the beginning of rain and how “a storm is coming.
