There are truly few artists as big as Bad Bunny is right now, and depending on who you ask, he might just be the biggest. Hordes of people descended upon Denver’s Ball Arena on Wednesday night (February 9th) for the opening date of the “El Último Tour Del Mundo” — his first tour since his album of the same name became the first Spanish-language album to top the Billboard 200, and the first since the onset of the pandemic.

There’s a duty to highlight ancestry — the people who came before, who shaped who we are in the present, even if we don’t know them directly. To retrace one’s origins is a gift of enlightenment and one that sheds light on lives lived and tribulations felt, and how far people have come.

Local music is meant to be seen and heard. With Denver’s music scene continuing to build and boil over with talent, it’s clear that Denver is on the cusp of a musical renaissance. At 303 Magazine, we are committed to shining a light on the underground music scene and telling their stories and showcasing their works.
