Pinta (feat. Bizarrap y Pablo Lescano)

The song 'Pinta' by L-Gante, featuring Bizarrap and Pablo Lescano, is a vibrant reflection of street culture and the artist's personal identity. The lyrics convey a strong sense of self and community, emphasizing the importance of respect and authenticity. L-Gante, an Argentine singer known for his cumbia 420 genre—a blend of cumbia and urban music—uses his music to portray the lifestyle and values of his upbringing.

In 'Pinta,' L-Gante talks about his appearance and style, which is a direct product of his environment ('Yo tengo esta pinta porque pintó'). The use of accessories like 'Visera' (caps) and 'gafa' (glasses) is not just a fashion statement but a part of his identity. He asserts his right to respect and warns against underestimating him, highlighting his readiness to stand up for himself ('No me apuren que yo siempre ando bien suelto'). The song also touches on the struggles of street life, where young people fight to survive ('To' los pibe' de la calle están luchando pa' comer').

Another theme in the song is the tension with law enforcement, colloquially referred to as 'la gorra.' L-Gante describes a cat-and-mouse dynamic where he prefers to avoid confrontation ('Me quiere parar la gorra... Que no espere, que corra'). This reflects a broader narrative of marginalization and the desire to remain free from the control of authorities. The song ends with a nod to his musical roots, 'Cu-Cu-Cumbia 420 pa' los negro',' celebrating the genre that has given him and his community a voice.
