Were You Listening? [Remix] Track 9: El Negro Bembón (English)

Описание: Hola Mix(ed)tape listeners! Today we'll be listening to El Negro Bembón, interpreted by Ismael Rivera. In this song el gran Maelo describes the murder of a black man with thick lips for the simple fact that he's black and has thick lips. While the lyrics question the motive for the murder, the song distracts unsuspected listeners who stand on the edge between oppressing anti-blackness and the up-beat tempo of salsa music.

As a special guest we have Nicole Ahima from @nashvillesalsadancing who shares with us a reflection inspired by the song.

Were we listening? 🎧

We hope this track helps to add value to your listening and awareness in your dancing!
