APM’s 21st Sugar Cane Festival: Bad Bunny album contest

Philadelphia has the second largest Puerto Rican community outside of Puerto Rico, and every summer the Asociación Puertorriqueños en Marcha (APM) organizes and hosts the Sugar Cane Festival to celebrate and honor Puerto Rican culture while connect the community to resources.

This year, APM is having a Bad Bunny album contest, asking creators, artists and musicians to put their own spin on Bad Bunny’s album and what it means to them. The album, titled “Debi Tirar Mas Fotos” is essentially a love letter to the culture and identity of Puerto Rico. Translating to “I should have taken more photos”, the album explores Puerto Rico’s past, present, and future.

President of APM, Nilda Ruiz joined us in the PHL17 studio to tell us all about the upcoming festival and contest.

“We started the Sugar Cane festival a few years ago because I thought it would be a fun way to bring the culture and also bring resources to the community, which is the real reason we’re doing it,” says Ruiz.
