During “Benito Bowl Weekend: Mi Casa Tu Casa” festivities at The Dead Flamingo in Little Havana, hundreds of people celebrated Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show as the main event.
Partygoers in the bar erupted into cheers when Bad Bunny took the stage, where aspects of Puerto Rican life and the culture of Latin America and the Caribbean were celebrated.
While the night was for drinks, dancing and fun, Bad Bunny’s performance held a deeper significant for Miami and the United States, the bar’s marketing director, Michael Guerrero, said.
“He made it,” he said. “We made it. It’s a proud moment.”
