Bad Bunny Brings Out J Balvin For Fiery Coachella Set

Wearing a rainbow Louis Vuitton outfit and visor-like sunglasses, “el conejo malo” channeled emotion from the get-go, opening with guitar-strumming breakup track “Ni Bien, Ni Mal.” A few tracks later, he reminded fans that everything would be alright with “Estamos Bien” (or "We're Good"), the bright, melodic anthem he dedicated to victims of last year's Hurricane Maria in his native Puerto Rico.

During the punk-tinged “Tenemos Que Hablar,” the stage's screens filled with band posters for Blink-182, Fugazi, Linkin Park and more of Bad Bunny’s rock influences. And between his rowdier, beat-switching trap hits (like "La Romana" and "200 Mph"), he serenaded the crowd with several ballads, from declaration of independence "Solo De Mi" to heartbreaking piano-led throwback "Amorfoda." 

He even brought out collaborator and close friend J Balvin to perform "Tu Sensualidad" and the smash "I Like It," and the two shared a heartening bromance onstage, hugging and fist-bumping between verses. In all, the set was just as wide-ranging and explosive as X100PRE itself.

“For me it is very big to be here,” Bad Bunny said in Spanish before treading offstage. “I feel very happy, very grateful to all of you. I’m very proud of what I represent, of the Latino community that has come far speaking the language they speak in my country."
