I'm improving on reading and somewhat on comprehension, but I still can't speak the language.
When it comes to Bad Bunny's performance at the Superbowl, my learning Spanish did not help me. I could not understand what he was saying.
But that didn't bother me. Because for me, his show was much more about FEELING than about knowing a language and song lyrics.
This was a celebration of country, culture, people, history. This was about joy, pride, honor, respect. This was about family and generations.
It was also about dance.
And it was about inclusion. His special guests were Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin - two worldwide superstars - one of them an LGBTQ+ ally and the other an out gay man.
At the end of the performance, Bad Bunny was reciting the countries that are part of the Americas. Again, it was about inclusion. America is about more than the 50 states and the District of Columbia. People born and raised in the US territories are Americans too.
Focus on what unites us - the international language of music - not what divides us.
