Were You Listening? Track 4: Mi Negrita Me Espera [Remix] (English)

Mix(ed)tape Season 7 Episode 4

Let that man leave!!!! Hi Mix(ed)tape Listeners! In track 4 of Were You Listening?  we analyze the song Mi Negrita Me Espera interpreted by Ismael "Maelo" Rivera and adapted by pianist and composer Carlos Suarez.
 
In Mi Negrita Me Espera, Maelo sings exquisitely about a mundane peer-pressure situation. He presents the conundrum of a Black man who wants to both, honor and respect his partner, a Black woman, but who also would like to party along with his friends. What does he do in the end? 

Were we listening?   

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