"When he started making music, he was a bag boy, and now you know he won a Grammy for the number one album," Galería Chicago manager Orlando Zapata said. "He's doing a lot of iconic things."

That is why Galería Chicago, a nightclub in Gold Coast, constructed a replica of Bad Bunny's "Casita," which translate to "little house." It has been part of his set in his latest tour. The idea to build a replica came from Acro Presents, a promoting group the club works with. The concept has been a hit.

"Last weekend was our second weekend," Zapata said. "We did probably 1,500 people through the doors. We had a line down the block and wrapped around."

Also joining in on the fun is Brew Brew Coffee and Tea near Logan Square. They launched the "Benito Latte," inspired by traditional Puerto Rican flavors.

"It's a coquito latte," Brew Brew Coffee & Tea barista Evan Alicea-Guivas said. "I can't give out the recipe, everyone does it different, so it is going to be that with three shots of espresso on top."

However, the buzz over Bad Bunny goes deeper. His songs dive into complex matters, like the struggles and inequalities in Puerto Rico, said Billy Ocasio, the CEO of Chicago's National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture in Humboldt Park.

"It's a message to celebrate, but it's also a message that make you reflect, it makes you think, it makes you angry, it makes you cry," Ocasio said. "It's a message that resonates with everything that's going on in the world today."

The songs break language barriers and touch on love, loss and grief.

"I think right now especially for a lot of Latin people they want to be seen and want to be heard," Alicea-Guivas said. "And for him to be on one of the world's biggest stages. You can't get more seen and heard than that."

With Bad Bunny still being so young, some people say what we are seeing now is just the beginning, and they can't wait to see what he was in store in the future.
