Bad Bunny is taking the world by storm, currently ranking as one of the most-listened to artists globally and undoubtedly the most-streamed Latin performer. With an explosive career trajectory, his latest studio album DtMF is an ode to his Puerto Rican roots, incorporating various native instruments and cultural elements from his homeland.
That’s why Bad Bunny’s Tiny Desk was one of the most highly anticipated sessions in NPR’s series—one of the most beloved formats that brings fans a more intimate, live interpretation of an album, just in time to build excitement for his upcoming tour.
Before its release, there were plenty of rumors about whether Benito would ever do a Tiny Desk—and after a long wait, it finally happened. Bad Bunny announced the performance just one day in advance on his social media. In a post, we saw him sitting on the iconic Tiny Desk stage, captured in a Polaroid photo, with his signature at the bottom.
How Long Is Bad Bunny’s Tiny Desk and What Songs Did He Perform?
The set runs for 33 minutes and 53 seconds, and Bad Bunny opens it on a powerful, emotional note with ‘PiToRRO DE COCO’. “Another Christmas where I asked for you. Another Christmas, and you’re still not here. Happy New Year—but not so happy. You got a kiss at midnight, and it wasn’t from me. A year ago, I was there… A year ago, I was right there […] Not a single call, not even a message […] Crying and drinking Pitorro de Coco…”
After greeting the audience at the concert, Benito continued the set by taking us straight to Puerto Rico with ‘VOY A LLEVARTE PA PR’. He followed that with ‘KLOuFRENS’, a song that fits perfectly with the digital age and how relationships play out on social media. In its acoustic version, the track becomes even more nostalgic, with a slower, more emotional tone than the original.
Next came ‘LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii’, a song that was already powerful on its own—but now we know that Benito actually dreamed it before writing it.
¡Yo soy de P f***** R!
Bad Bunny ends his set with ‘LA MuDANZA’, standing in front of the Puerto Rican flag spread out before him. Its deep blue stands out—bold, proud, and impossible to ignore. “They killed people for waving the flag,” he says, a powerful reminder of the struggles tied to that symbol. And yet, the moment is filled with joy—his energy, the music, and the dancing all come to life.
Even with a global platform, Benito’s greatest strength is how personal he keeps things. He doesn’t just represent Puerto Rico—he makes you feel connected to it. When he yells “¡Yo soy de P f***** R!”, the emotion is contagious. Whether you’re from there or not, in that moment, your heart feels like it is.
