#Latino USA

[macaron-tea-party]

I got into this semi viral song called Mantissa that made such a splash in Greece and Europe it got featured on NPR.

And the music video screams iconic.

There’s also this Brazilian artist Gustavo Lima with the song Balada that I heard on German radio (i guess Portugal liked it too) I later learned got popular on the US Latin charts too.

There’s also Michel Teló with his most well known song Ai Se Eu Te Pego which has 1.1 billion views on YouTube.

Apparently Europe and Central/South America likes Sertanejo artists a lot.

One German song I really got into was by an artist who wears a panda mask called Cro.

And here’s a Latino USA story about how Latin America loves metal music and how Latin artists influenced metal artists.

Long and short being, get into more country’s music folks.

I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

//Okay, ooc post.

I try my BEST not to be political on here, but me and my character being people of color, me and my character being openly queer, me reblogging posts about Palestine, etc. You can probably tell my stance on these things.

I just want everyone to stay safe. Ik everything kinda sucks ass right now. But, please, if you disabled, a person of color, an immigrant, have a uterus, or queer, please try your best and stay safe. Please don't kill yourself. I know a lot of people don't have the funds to move, and that's okay. We're all worried. I'm fucking terrified that half the people I know will be deported or that my friends and family are going to be harmed. But, the best we can do right now is be angry.

Worrying gives us the feeling of powerlessness, and the worst we can do right now is feel like we have no power. Instead, turn that worry into anger. Be angry at the fact that a racist piece of shit one. Be angry that your friends, family, colleagues, etc, could be harmed in all of this. Be angry that our country is continuing with a genocide. Because if we're angry, we can have the power back. We can take a stance if we're angry. If you have to go down, might as well go down kicking and screaming.

And remember. PLEASE stay safe. PLEASE find support. My school has an LGBT club, Latino leaders club, and Black History club for people who want to feel safe. Please find a space like that. It's the best we can do right now.

As a USamerican I can tell you every place I’ve lived the one constant is I’ve known so many people who dream of getting out and moving away to some magical place that’ll fix all their problems only to find out if you manage to move almost everything is exactly the same because there’s no running away from racism and homophobia etc and all of these places are relatively the same in that how good your experience is really is just based off of how much money and resources you have at your disposal

idk man as a latino (not a USlatino mind you) i don't want trump in office again either, god knows how bad the global south had it with him, but that didn't change/magically get better with biden. you gotta do better than just vote your guilt away. the rest of us cant even vote and we get the worst out of it with active and silent genocides in at least 6 different places and coups or neoliberal extractivism everywhere else... fucking move your asses.

I'll say it plainly: i don't care how many minorities you're a part of or how bad you have it. If you're USAmerican no government of the united states will make your condition worse than what the same govt will do with its chokehold on the global south.

Last thing I'll say about this bullshit going on in the US on my blog. Racism and misogyny is deeply ingrained in the land here and this further proves it. Not only was this election rigged but people simply didnt vote for Kamala because she's a non white WOMAN. It makes me sick knowing we have Black men voting against a black woman. Hispanics voting to round up and deport other Hispanics. White women voting to take rights away from their daughters and granddaughters. It's truly insane how quick people turn on eachother. How much hatred and misogyny still lives in this world. And for the women, lgbtq and poc that voted for him, come to the front of the room right tf now!!

If you thought he wouldn't dismantle all of our systems and protections for people of color and lgbtq+ you're fucking stupid. Trump does not gaf about anyone but himself. And now project 2025 will be greenlit because both the house and Senate are republican majority. All that government assistance, food stamps, social security, fafsa, gender affirming care, section 8?? Good luck getting any of that shit now. We are so fucked. For all the marginalized communities out there, lgbtq+, women and people of color please stay safe.🙏🏿 I said what I said and if you don't like it unfollow me idfc.

MAGA Republicans We're Right

I'm embarrassed, but I'll admit that I was wrong.

As we all recall from Bible study, Jesus, in every gospel, went around telling his disciples and his most fervent followers to hate people that did not follow him and did not believe in God, our Father. We all remember those Bible stories, in which Jesus went around calling nonbelievers "shit" people from "shithole countries."

And who can forget those verses within the gospels that clearly state that to measure the thickness and length of a man's cock is to measure how MANLY that man is.

I'm so glad we finally have a Christian presidential candidate that is setting the record straight and is such a great example for our Christian children to follow.

If only I could go back and change my vote.

Some of the different types of cumbia in Latin America 🇨🇴🇵🇦

Cumbia is a folkloric genre and dance from Colombia & Panama. Since the 1940s, commercial or modern Colombian cumbia had expanded to the rest of Latin America, and many countries have had their own variants of cumbia.
