Santo Domingo.- Urban artist Bulin 47 addressed the interpretations generated by one of his recent collaborations and maintained that a song should not become a reason to question his principles or personal positions.
During his participation in the Alofoke Radio Show, the artist downplayed the controversy and considered that the project should be understood as a musical collaboration, without attributing any political meaning to it.
“At the end of the day it was a song, it wasn’t a vow I made or anything like that,” he expressed.
Bulin 47 also rejected that his decision to work with another artist could be used to label him as a person who acts against the interests of the Dominican Republic.
The urban artist explained that before recording, he took precautions to understand the content of the song and ensured that he tried to keep the project from incorporating elements that could give it a political connotation.

“I don’t want any so-called flag-waving, any weird stuff,” he stated during the interview.
The interpreter also questioned that a person be judged solely by their nationality and gave as an example a hypothetical situation in which several Dominicans commit crimes in another country.
“If five Dominicans are mugging in New York, I cannot judge the Dominican Republic because five Dominicans are mugging,” he argued.
