Puerto Rican indie fusion band Chuwi delivered a strong statement of solidarity Sunday on the final night of Bad Bunny’s DtMF World Tour, waving the Palestinian flag as they concluded their opening performance at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium in Puerto Rico.
The band, serving as the primary opening act throughout the global tour, wrapped up their opening set by holding up the Palestinian flag, drawing cheers and support from the audience.
The display at Hiram Bithorn Stadium reflects a growing trend among Latin American and Caribbean artists utilizing major cultural platforms to express vocal support for Palestine amidst the ongoing ‘Israeli’ assault on Gaza.
