The release of the Gazelle San Juan not only celebrates Bad Bunny’s individual journey, but also shines a light on the collective pride shared by Puerto Ricans around the world. It is this pride that has inspired countless artists, such as renowned composer and producer Mike Amadeo, who has dedicated his life to preserving and promoting Boricua culture through his iconic New York music store. Since 1941, Amadeo’s store has served as a gathering place for creatives, connecting generations and keeping the island’s rich musical traditions alive.
