Realidad

Wara's song 'Realidad' is a powerful anthem that calls for the celebration and appreciation of one's cultural heritage. The lyrics emphasize the beauty and significance of indigenous identity, urging listeners to love and honor their 'raza cobrisa' or copper-colored race. This term is a poetic reference to the skin tone of many indigenous people in Latin America, highlighting the natural beauty and pride associated with their heritage. The repetition of 'Hermano ama tu raza' (Brother, love your race) serves as a rallying cry for unity and self-acceptance within the community.

The song also addresses the importance of living one's own history and not imitating foreign cultures. This message is particularly poignant in a globalized world where cultural homogenization can often overshadow local traditions and identities. By encouraging listeners to 'destruye el mito de pueblo enfermo' (destroy the myth of a sick people), Wara challenges negative stereotypes and promotes a narrative of strength and resilience. The phrase 'adora tu raza de bronce' (adore your bronze race) further reinforces the idea of embracing and celebrating one's roots.

In the final lines, Wara shifts the focus to the land itself, describing it as 'grande y hermosa' (great and beautiful). This call to think about and care for the land underscores the deep connection between cultural identity and the environment. It suggests that true appreciation of one's heritage includes a responsibility to protect and cherish the natural world. The song's repetitive and meditative 'Ahhh ahhh' chants create a sense of unity and reflection, inviting listeners to internalize its message of cultural pride and environmental stewardship.
