Reflujo

The song "Reflujo" by Colombian hip-hop group AlcolirykoZ is a vibrant blend of traditional Latin sounds and contemporary rap, which reflects the group's roots and their perspective on the music industry. The lyrics are rich with cultural references, wordplay, and a critique of the superficial aspects of the music scene.

The opening lines set the stage with a festive atmosphere, referencing Afro-Colombian rhythms and traditional foods, symbolizing a celebration of their heritage. The mention of Chano Pozo, a Cuban percussionist, and the dance of the gallinazo (a type of vulture) further emphasizes the connection to Latin culture. The song's title, "Reflujo," which translates to "reflux" in English, suggests a discomfort or a reaction against something, possibly the current state of the music industry or the challenges of staying true to one's roots.

Throughout the song, AlcolirykoZ members Gambeta, Kaztro, and Fazeta boast about their authenticity and unique style, contrasting themselves with newcomers who haven't yet paid their dues. They use humor and sarcasm to criticize those who try to imitate Latin music without understanding its depth or facing the same struggles as Latin artists. The line "Yo no tengo flow, tengo reflujo" cleverly plays on the word "flow," a term often used in rap to describe a rapper's style, suggesting that their music comes from a deeper, more natural place than mere performance.
