Friday Favorites: “Soy Yo” by Bomba Estero

Hello Meltingpot Readers,

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a music video for a Friday Favorite, but it’s been a brutal week for America and sometimes we need music to lighten the mood, lift the spirits and remind us that we are each valuable in our unique way. Which is why I love this video and this song, Soy Yo by Colombian band, Bomba Estereo. Translated it means, “I am me,” and basically it’s a song that says, “This is me, and I don’t care what you think.”

Even if you don’t understand the words in Spanish, enjoy the video and get all in your feelings. You can read more about Bomba Estero in this nice Chicago Tribune article and then continue on with your day.

Peace!
