100% Latina

So I'm prepping a game for my Latin Heritage month celebration tomorrow at work. Listening to the arrays of music I've been exposed to since my childhood makes me proud not only to be a Latina.

My Mexican family taught me to appreciate the beauty of a Huapango (btw if you have never heard the Huapango de Mocayo- you're missing it, it's an amazing piece of work). I mean that song moves me like Gerswhin's Rhapsody in Blue.

My dad will always teach me to appreciate the romantic songs of trios and sons.

My mother taught me how to sway to vallenatos and break a sweat with merengues.

This only lead to my love of Bossa Nova and Samba, which moves me like no other.

 

 

 

I'm always proud to be Latina, to be Salvadorean, but today I'm a little more proud :)
