DA PA' LO' DO'

This might seem a bizarre introduction But this Christmas we were able to presence the hysteria that Rita Indiana y Los Misterios are causing in the DR. She is political and somewhat global in a satirical way. She mixes Mambo, Metal, Electro, Merengue just to mention a few. A mangú of our times. And now with Haiti just falling apart under a massive disaster I can only repeat the title for one of her songs on her upcoming album. A song that talks about Haiti and the DR's constant struggling relationship instead of partnership.

Because it is true. La Hispañola is enough to share with two nations. We are like brothers. Except that one has giving his back to the other deciding to fly far for a better future forgetting the past. Except that one has step on the other despite the fact that they somewhat have also help to built a structure. And there was Rita. As if she knew this disaster was going to unite not only the two of us but ALL of us. As if she knew that this song had the possibility of becoming a anthem for hope.
