Who to see today at Made in America | Morning Newsletter

The weather is so nice I’d want it bottled as perfume.

In today’s newsletter:

🇺🇸 The best of the fests: Beyoncé's assistant photographer is still pursuing his own things and it’s adorable. (Of course, Jay-Z started Made in America here in 2012.) Dan DeLuca is back with us this Sunday with the must-see acts today at Made in America.

🥼 Monkeypox vaccine inequity: Monkeypox vaccines have disproportionately gone to white Philadelphians. This clinic sought to balance that.

📬 Tell me a fun story about your favorite thing you did this summer, and we’ll pick the most interesting reader contributions. My favorite summer moment was seeing the diehard fans at the Phish show at the Mann pick up on the band’s secret cues. Email us with your summer story here.

If you see this 🔒 in today’s newsletter, that means we’re highlighting our exclusive journalism. You need to be a subscriber to read these stories. We’re taking Labor Day weekend off, and the indispensable Taylor Allen will see you in your inbox Wednesday morning.

🎤 Now I’m handing the mic over to Dan DeLuca:

If it’s Sunday at Made in America, it must be Bad Bunny day. The Puerto Rican rapper-singer and actor — he stars in “Bullet Train” with Brad Pitt — who was the most streamed music artist in the world the last two years is the show closer on the second and final day of Jay Z’s annual hip-hop festival on the Ben Franklin Parkway.

And with Bad Bunny — full name Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio — atop the bill, it’s set to be the most international day ever at MIA. The act immediately preceding him on Sunday night will be Nigerian pop star Burna Boy. Earlier in the evening, Persian-Swedish R&B Snoh Aalegra will perform, and Dominican rapper Chimbala and Mexican urban corrido band Fuerza Regido both play earlier in the day. Keep reading for his full take on the festival.

Taylor Allen wrote about our story on That Man who famously “backflipped into the filthy floodwaters on the Vine Street Expressway.” What has this guy NOT done?

A) Been the captain of the Lobster Club Mummers Brigade

B) Been the brainchild behind the famous “dumpster pool” at his block party in Fishtown

C) Started an impromptu roller disco

D) Masterminded a zip line across a Fishtown park

Find out if you know the answer.

David Lynch called Philly “the sickest, most corrupt, decaying, fear-ridden city imaginable,” adding that it was “so fantastic at the same time.” In the sprawling Twin Peaks revival, what was located in Philly?

🎶 For today’s Sunday track, we’re listening to “Papacito” by Nicole Favre, a Peruvian pop princess I saw at Sofar Sounds in Lima, Peru last week. Just like Kevonna Rose, who I saw at Sofar Sounds in Philly, Nicole found someone in the crowd to work into her songs. “You got it, baby, I know you really want me, baby. Cause you got it, papacito, put it on me.” ��

👋🏽 To me, summer isn’t over until Halloween, and I am soaking up the sun on my patio with all the fancy snacks and Pisco.
