A Mi Mamita Le Gusta

Orishas' song "A Mi Mamita Le Gusta" is a vibrant celebration of cultural identity, family pride, and the fusion of musical genres. The lyrics are a testament to the group's roots in both Cuban and hip-hop traditions, blending Spanish and French to reflect their multicultural influences. The repeated phrase "A mi mamita le gusta" (My mom likes it) serves as a nod to the approval and support of their family, particularly their mothers, for their musical journey and the unique sound they have created.

The song's lyrics emphasize the group's connection to their heritage, with references to Havana and the Afro-Cuban rhythms that form the backbone of their music. The mention of "cinco maestros" (five masters) highlights the skill and expertise of the group members, who bring their voices together to create a powerful and distinctive sound. The imagery of a "mancha de petróleo" (oil stain) on an abstract painting symbolizes the indelible mark they aim to leave on the music world, blending traditional and modern elements in a way that is both innovative and respectful of their roots.

Orishas also address the challenges and criticisms they face as artists, asserting their confidence and resilience. Lines like "No te desespere peres, No te precipites pites" (Don't despair, don't rush) and "Orishas defendiendo ese son que viene ardiendo" (Orishas defending this burning sound) convey their determination to stay true to their artistic vision despite any obstacles. The song is a powerful statement of cultural pride, artistic integrity, and the enduring influence of family and tradition in shaping their music and identity.
