Viva Puerto Rico, y que vive la diáspora

Secret third option: You know both the “official” version played in events and usually followed by the national anthem of the country colonizing yours AND the older “revolutionary” version they don’t want you to sing plus since its usually an instrumental version you just thing the lyrics to the “revolutionary” version.

okay i’m curious

if not put why in the tags if u wanna

LA BORINQUEÑA Illustration for this cool Puerto Rican superhero. ✨⭐

I would like a West Side Story rewrite.

Where we see the juxtaposition of Anita and Maria and how colorism has affected Anita, specifically that is it acknowledged and paralleled- not ignored and side barred for Maria's convenience.

While D!$n#y did a great job using the revolutionary version of La Borinqueña, I think in terms of Anita, it could be reprised as the original version. Bellisima Trigueña, the original danza. If Bernardo and Anita's relationship is explored, this would be a great way of connecting the colorism and racism that is in our culture with how essential the black and African communities have been to PR's sense of nationalism and culture. They are the foundation of our culture and yet consistently side barred and ignored in discussions of racism because of colorism. This would provide retrospection to not just white viewers, but white-passing Puerto Rican viewers. And it would be a nice reprise.

I would eliminate Anita advocating for the US, or at least change her reasoning as she's a dark-skinned Puertorican who definitely isn't living a "better life" in the States as she's now navigating racism, colorism, and origin discrimination; and her defense of the US just makes no sense.

Also, I want a verse, in a song, pointing out that the town of Loíza, named for one of the few women Cheifs of one of the Taíno tribes was then used as a designated place for freed slaves to live separately (which is why today it is a mostly black town, that has suffered horribly through the recent natural disasters). Something about that has always seemed messed up in an anti-black, anti-indigenous, and sexist way. 

Also, it makes ZERO sense that everyone is from PR but they never say where. That's...that's not right. We all come from somewhere, and 100% of the time even if someone does not know-they'll tell you where their family is from on the island.

I would also eliminate the quote "Back home little boys don't have war councils.". Thats just eraseing PR's independence movement, and A LOT of people were murdered in the streets similar to how Barnando is later killed. In fact, it's a missed opportunity to not draw that parallel and educate American viewers of what their gov't did.

I would name this version "Fuimos Norte"/"We went North"

Olympics question: when they win, is there a Puerto Rican national anthem?

Yes! It’s called La Borinqueña. They played it when Monica Puig won us our first gold medal in 2016 and Jasmine Camacho-Quinn won us our second in 2020 🖤

Amanecer Borincano

Soy la luz de la mañana que alumbra nuevos caminos, que va inhundando los montes, los senderos campesinos.

Soy el fruto del futuro, la semilla del mañana, sembrada en estiercol puro de mi tierra borincana.

Soy un pescador de sueños. Voy buscando un mar de espumas, de caracolas y arenas, de sirenas y de lunas.

De estrellas y de horizontes, se compone mi fortuna, soy gaviota navegante y astronauta de la bruma.

Soy del pan la levadura, que alimenta la esperanza del hombre puertorriqueño, del despertar de mi patria.

Traigo sangre borinqueña. Soy hijo de las palmeras, de los campos y los ríos y del cantar del coquí. De valles y cafetales, de caña, azucar y piña, de guayaba y mapostiales, de tembleque y de maví.

A. Carrión

Top 10 kpop songs of October

Chasing That Feeling - TXT. Not surprising. It came out in October and I liked it quite a bit. Very synth ethereal. Don't like the choreo too much though, it's too sharp.

오늘 조금 취해서 그래 - Youha. Very not surprising. It'll probably be my top song of the year. What a glorious synth masterpiece.

Eyes Roll - (G)I-DLE. Coming in at #12 we have our third kpop song which is kinda surprising considering I didn't like it that much. It's fine, but ehh very standard I guess?

有吗炒面 ALGTR - Lexie Liu. Still confused by the title, but still a glorious synth guitar masterpiece. At #22.

Payback - Ive. Directly below ALGTR is the only Ive song I liked from their newest release. Nice and chill.

Flower Rain - Youha. At #32 is another top song of the year contender. Perhaps my favorite opening of all time.

Back For More (TXT Ver.) - TXT. Hip and groovy! Sexy and cool! Better than the collab ver. lmao.

Bubble - STAYC. At #45 is my fave bubblegum release of the year. A fun chorus, and a swag synth for the post-chorus.

GRL GVNG - XG. Right below Bubble is my favorite girl crush release of the year! I don't super like Maya/Jurin's rapping style, Cocona is my favorite, but that's a style matter. I love the instrumental and the lyrics slap surprisingly enough.

X-GENE - XG. At #47 is a surprise considering I only remember playing it like three times this month. It's a fine intro song but I wish companies weren't so afraid of releasing full-length songs.

Actual top song was, funnily enough, La Borinqueña (Sharks Version) from the 2021 West Side Story movie soundtrack. #3 was Howl's Moving Castle Theme, Kyle Landry's piano version. That's my music tastes for you I guess.

Top artists were: Taylor Swift, Lorde, Halsey, Marina, and Fall Out Boy, in that order. Fascinating. Been a while since I had guys in the top 5. Then Imagine Dragons, (G)I-DLE, TXT, Twice, Over The Garden Wall soundtrack, and Olivia Rodrigo. Truly fascinating stuff here.
