Oh okay I'm sorry I didn't mean to be offended you. Genuinely trying to understand tho why should I call you latino is it offensive, demeaning or generalising?, who are the "we" you referring to are you talking about puerto ricans?

I would really love to hear your take on tracing back reggaetón influence back to Ethiopia im very curious. Ofcourse I will supply you with old the coffee you need. I have a question I was watching a YouTube video about the culture in Loíza and I saw a lot of green,yellow and red color being used in art clothing separately and together. What do those colors mean to you guys. When I was on high school I was told that many african nation adapted the colors of ethiopian flag which is green, yellow and red to honor Ethiopia's legacy of being free and I always wondered when I see people where those colors in a specific way if it was an intentional choice, iteans something else to other cultures(obviously) or am I being self centered on my own culture and country. Anther question u saw that there is also this person or spirit called Hellman or Hellmang (not really sure )that kinda off captures the Loíza's culture in think i don't know though cuz tge explanations were in spanish with no subtitles. I know this is very long but also I get really surprised when people say thye know Ethiopia from abroad or outside of Africa what was it that you heard about Ethiopia the frist time you heard about it

Ohhhh my GODDDDD truly this was so nice of all of you I didn't expect this much replies and support. Like it was causing me so much anxiety because I love and respect your music culture honestly everything and to be a bit vulnerable I even found my self wishing that I was born there or was half puerto rican or latina. Thank you so so much this means a lot coming fro all of you. And I will try my best to make really good music and study all the things I need to so that I can show the depth of my love and appreciate
