The Cry for Freedom in 'Que Será' by Cultura Profética

Cultura Profética's song 'Que Será' is a poignant and powerful anthem that delves into the socio-political struggles of Puerto Rico. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of frustration and longing for true independence and self-determination. The repeated question 'Qué será, qué será' (What will it be, what will it be) underscores the uncertainty and hope for a better future for the island and its people.

The song criticizes the ongoing colonial status of Puerto Rico, highlighting the illusion of freedom under the guise of 'libre asociación' (free association). The artist laments the passive acceptance of this status quo, urging the people to awaken and rise against the systemic oppression. The imagery of the flag 'elevándose sola en el viento' (rising alone in the wind) symbolizes the dream of an independent Puerto Rico, free from external control and influence.

Cultura Profética also addresses the exploitation and manipulation of Puerto Ricans by external powers, particularly the United States. The lyrics mention the use of Puerto Ricans as 'carnada, de soldado y de luto' (bait, soldiers, and in mourning), criticizing the role they are forced to play in foreign conflicts and the global economy. The song calls for an end to this exploitation and a move towards genuine self-governance and autonomy. The artist's passionate plea for change is a reflection of the broader sentiment among many Puerto Ricans who yearn for a future where their island can thrive independently and with dignity.
