"Benito, brother, seeing you win three Grammy Awards, one of them for album of the year, with a production entirely in Spanish, touched me deeply,"
"Not only as an artist, but as a Puerto Rican who has walked stages around the world carrying his language, his accent and his history."
"You won without changing the color of your voice. You won without erasing your roots. You won by staying true to Puerto Rico,"
"You stayed true to your language, your rhythms and your authentic narrative."
Bad Bunny won album of the year at the 68th Grammy Awards for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, marking the first all-Spanish album to claim that honor. He also won awards for música urbana album and global music performance for the track "EoO." Ricky Martin expressed deep emotional pride as a fellow Puerto Rican, praising Bad Bunny for maintaining his language, accent, rhythms and roots without altering his sound. Martin described the achievement as both a human and cultural victory. Martin's own career included major Spanish-language international hits in the 1990s and a later English-language crossover with "Livin' La Vida Loca."
