Have you heard Calle 13's powerful anthem, "Latinoamérica"? In this video, we're diving deep into this iconic song with a special focus: the perspectives of Black immigrants living in Latin America.

"Latinoamérica" is a poignant reflection on the history, struggles, and resilience of the Latin American people. But how does this message resonate with those who've come to call Latin America home from other parts of the African diaspora?

We'll share our personal interpretations of the song, discuss how it connects with our own experiences of identity and belonging, and explore the complexities of race, immigration, and cultural integration in the region.

Expect:

- Thought-provoking insights: Gain a deeper understanding of "Latinoamérica" through the lens of Black immigrants.

- Diverse voices: Hear our unique stories and perspectives.

- Open and honest conversations: We'll explore the challenges and triumphs of navigating life as a Black immigrant in Latin America.
