Bad Bunny‘s groundbreaking Debí Tirar Más Fotos is one of the most successful albums of 2025. It inspired a historic, sold-out San Juan residency, a coveted world tour, a livestream that destroyed Amazon Music’s existing streaming records, six Grammy nominations, and a coveted spot as headliner of the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Needless to say, Debí Tirar Más Fotos has been one of the most talked-about works of art this year, rivaling Brat Summer and the Kendrick Lamar/ Drake feud in its virality and cultural relevance.

But no matter how good an album is, one inevitably grows tired of playing it on repeat. If you’ve listened to Debí Tirar Más Fotos ad nauseam but want to hold on to its unique sound and tone, look no further. Ahead are seven albums that embody energy similar to Bad Bunny’s landmark album, ranging from Reggaetón to pop to Puerto Rican traditions.

‘Mucho Gusto, Soy de la Isla’ by Los Pleneros de la Cresta

If your favorite song on Debí Tirar Más Fotos was “Café con Ron,” you’re probably already a fan of Los Pleneros de la Cresta. The band is heavily featured throughout the song, taking turns singing during its verses. They were also featured on “Baile Inolvidable” and can be seen in the music video, and they showed off their impressive vocals and musicianship during Bad Bunny’s historic San Juan residency.

Plena is an expressive, storytelling-based genre native to Puerto Rico. Highly influenced by bomba, the rhythmic genre features several Caribbean instruments such as the cuatro, guito, and requinto, and its lyrics often tell stories based on folklore or current events. Los Pleneros de la Cresta are on the forefront of keeping the genre alive, and their 2015 album Mucho Gusto, Soy de la Isla is a treat for plena fans new and old.

‘Entren Los Que Quieran’ by Calle 13

Calle 13 was one of the Reggaetón acts to push the boundaries of the genre, mixing cumbia, rap, jazz, bossa nova, and more into their music before such mixing was common. Their songs are notoriously political, nodding to indigenous Puerto Rican culture and calling attention to the island’s oppressive colonial status. The duo is perfect for anyone who loves the historical, political, and cultural elements of Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

If you loved Bad Bunny’s “Lo Que Pasó a Hawaii,” for instance, consider Calle 13 songs like “Muerte en Hawaii” or “Latinoamérica.” The latter, in particular, celebrates Latino identity across the Caribbean, South America, and Central America, with a chorus that highlights the region’s resilience. Like Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Entren Los Que Quieran also taps into several genres, including Reggaetón, Argentine Chacarera, merengue, and even Bollywood music.

Capicú by RaiNao

If you were impressed by singer-songwriter RaiNao’s vocals on “Perfumito Nuevo,” you should give her solo work a listen. Her second album, Capicú, was released just last year, and it features both dance-inducing beats and suave verses that show off her vocal talent. It also includes a partnership with frequent Bad Bunny collaborator Tainy.

There’s something for everyone on Capicú: nods to Reggaetón, club-ready dance tracks, and clever uses of autotune reminiscent of Charli XCX. Several of the album’s songs also feature ethereal digital instrumentals similar to those on Bad Bunny’s “Bokete.” Above all, Capicú shines a spotlight on RaiNao’s singular talent, marked by smooth vocals that manage to sound both sultry and sweet.

‘Barrio Fino’ by Daddy Yankee

If your favorite songs on Debí Tirar Más Fotos were Reggaetón hits like “Veldá” and “EoO,” consider diving into the genre’s old school hits. Daddy Yankee is a great starting point for Reggaetón beginners, and his third studio album, Barrio Fino is among his best. It includes global hits like “Gasolina” and “Lo Que Pasó, Pasó” along with irresistible collaborations like “No Me Dejes Solo” and “Tu Príncipe.”

Barrio Fino also embodies the hometown pride that permeates Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Daddy Yankee’s “Intro” is a spoken-word piece that describes his neighborhood as one defined not by its rough reputation but by the thinking, feeling, and fighting spirit of its people. The introduction leads smoothly into the first song, “King Daddy,” and effectively establishes the album’s narrative through-line.

5

‘Do Not Disturb’ by Young Miko

Puerto Rican rapper Young Miko wasn’t featured on Debí Tirar Más Fotos, but she’s collaborated with Bad Bunny before. She appeared on, “Fina,” a song off the singer’s fifth solo studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. She also appeared at Bad Bunny’s residency to perform the single, expanding her fan base ahead of her gig opening for Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft tour.

Earlier this month, Young Miko released her second studio album, Do Not Disturb. It’s filled with the infectious, tech-based beats that characterize much of Bad Bunny’s music. The rapper sets herself apart, however, with her low, steady delivery of rap bars and her infusion of EDM on songs like “WASSUP” and “Algo Casual.” A balance of Reggaetón, hip hop, and house music, Do Not Disturb is an auditory treat that will no doubt leave Bad Bunny fans hoping for another collab.

‘Cosa Nuestra’ by Rauw Alejandro

One of the major themes in Debí Tirar Más Fotos is salsa music. Both “Baile Inolvidable” and “NuevaYol” nod to artists such as Héctor Lavoe, Willie Colón, Eddie Palmieri, and Tito Puente, all of whom were major players in the Golden Age of Salsa that took the genre mainstream in the 1970s. Bad Bunny devotes a great deal of lyrical, instrumental, and visual attention to this era, paying tribute to the Puerto Rican global sensations that paved the way for him.

In Cosa Nuestra, Rauw Alejandro does the same thing. His song “Tú Con Él,” for instance, is a direct reference to Frankie Ruiz’s song by the same name, much in the way Bad Bunny’s “NuevaYol” samples El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico’s “Un Verano en Nueva York.” Like Bad Bunny, he also celebrates the diversity of Puerto Rican music, delving into bachata on the Pharrell Williams collaboration “Committed” and Reggaetón on tracks like the Alexis y Fido collaboration “Baja Pa’ Acá.” Bad Bunny is also featured on the album’s most popular song, “Qué Pasaría…”

‘El Mal Querer’ by Rosalía

These days, Rosalía is perhaps best known for her most recent album, Lux, which has garnered a slew of near-perfect reviews as fans and critics alike hail the Spanish singer as a generation-defining talent. But before the success of Lux and its predecessor, Motomamí, Rosalía rose to fame with El Mal Querer, a baccalaureate final project-turned-professional-album that put her on the map.

Much like Debí Tirar Más Fotos, El Mal Querer tells a story. The former is looser, delving into gentrification and political oppression in Puerto Rico, while the latter homes in on the 13th century anonymous novel, Romance of Flamenca. Like Bad Bunny, Rosalía melds the traditional music of her homeland with contemporary genres. In her case, it’s flamenco with hip hop and pop. Any Bad Bunny fan who appreciates his genre-defying work will also appreciate what Rosalía accomplished on El Mal Querer, an album that sits in the artist’s rearview mirror, but that nevertheless remains singularly groundbreaking.

‘El Cantante’ by Marc Anthony

If you think Bad Bunny created the most faithful salsa tribute album of all time, think again. In 2007, Marc Anthony released El Cantante in tandem with the film of the same name. Because the film is a biopic of Héctor Lavoe, the “Cantante de los Cantantes” (the Singer of all Singers), the album is comprised entirely of covers of the late Lavoe’s most popular songs.

Lavoe was so popular, in part, because his vocal talent was so rare; his soaring voice so difficult to imitate. Anthony, however, did so with incredible accuracy, matching Lavoe’s expressive delivery. Highlights of the album include “Aguanile,” “Che Che Colé,” and “Qué Lío,” all of which are faithfully reproduced. The album also finishes with the criminally underrated track “Toma De Mí,” sung by Jennifer Lopez, who plays Lavoe’s partner in the biopic.

‘Lo Mato’ by Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe

If you enjoyed the salsa songs on Debí Tirar Más Fotos, you should lend an ear to Bad Bunny’s idols themselves. Among those idols are Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe, who were among the biggest players in New York’s Golden Age of Salsa, responsible for taking the genre global in a way that’s endured since. Bad Bunny particularly honors them in the music video for “Baile Inolvidable,” in which he dons a suit reminiscent of Lavoe’s signature look and samples his hit song “Periódico de Ayer.”

Lavoe and Colón’s collaborative album Lo Mato elicits the same infectious energy as “Baile Inolvidable.” Its big band instrumentals, in particular, lend it the very grandiosity that took its popularity worldwide—and that’s kept the oeuvre relevant all these years later. Indeed, “El Día De Mi Suerte” alone boasts over 167 million streams on Spotify, proving that the vintage sound that inspired Bad Bunny hasn’t lost a single iota of its relevance or edge.
