Marc Anthony Appears As Bad Bunny’s Final Guest Of Historic Puerto Rico Residency

Bad Bunny completed his historic residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with a performance featuring fellow PR native Marc Anthony among the concert’s many special guests. The add-on “Una Más” performance was the final concert of Bad Bunny’s No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí run at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot.

Anthony was one of several Puerto Rican musicians who shared the stage with Bad Bunny at Saturday’s concert. Chuwi once again appeared for “WELTiTA” as he did the other nights of the residency. The finale also saw the stage shared with Miky Woodz, Tommy Torres, Jowell & Randy, Ñengo Flow, De La Ghetto, Dei V, Rainao, and Arcángel.

Each concert was sold out, with the tickets to the first nine available only to Puerto Rico residents. Total attendance is estimated to have exceeded 600,000 attendees over the three-month engagement that began in July.

According to the Associated Press, citing study by Gaither International, Bad Bunny’s Bad Bunny’s No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency generated $733 million for Puerto Rico.

After seeing the end of the residency in person, NPR’s Felix Contreras compared the communal and community-building aspects of Bad Bunny’s No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí run to those of the Grateful Dead.

“There’s this deep sense of community,” Contreras said. “There’s so many different people from so many walks of life, doing so many different things. But when you’re in that stadium, you’re in that room, it’s all about the music, the band, the solos, the interplay. It was exactly like a Dead show yesterday.”

There was a community of musicians who dropped in on Bad Bunny’s residency, with special guests appearing nightly, all the way through the final show. Marc Anthony was last to join Bad Bunny onstage, arriving near the end of the lengthy concert that fell on the eighth anniversary of the deadly Hurricane Maria, which caused devastating destruction across the island in 2017.

Before bringing Anthony out, Bad Bunny spoke to the audience regarding the song they were about to sing, “Preciosa.” Anthony recorded “Preciosa,” which was written by Puerto Rican songwriting legend Rafael Hernández Marín, for the 1999 album, Desde un Principio: From the Beginning.

Bad Bunny asked the audience to help them sing the song that he said he had not sung in public in 20 years. The collaboration between Marc Anthony and Bad Bunny can be seen below:
