Hola Mix(ed)tape listeners! Today we'll be listening to Herencia Africana by Yuri Buenaventura. In this song Yuri seeks to highlight and pay homage to the African heritage in Colombia. Musically, the song has a playful transition back and forth between salsa and rumba guaguancó, the latter an insistent call, pulling us back, closer to the African and Afro-Latin roots of Latin American and Caribbean culture.
Were we listening?
We hope this track helps to add value to your listening and awareness in your dancing!
