And the independence party in Puerto Rico has been so attacked and suppressed for so long, not only by the United States, but also by other political parties here. The other two being one that's pro-statehood and one that's pro-status quo, colonial status. And so I think what you hear in the states is, oh, why couldn't Puerto Rico be a state?

Assuming that that's a liberal position. However, the statehood party here is very conservative. And, you know, it's complicated. There are shades of that, but that's what's happening here.

People know what the Puerto Rican flag looks like, probably, because Puerto Ricans, we can never stop waving it. But there are actually several, right? And some Americans don't know this. So the one that you see most often in the States probably is like one that has the blue of the U.S. flag, like that kind of navy darker blue.

Yeah. That one is sort of like pro-statehood or pro-Commonwealth status. Interesting. There's another flag, which is the blue is light blue in the triangle. And that one is pro-independence. And so when you see like a light blue flag, you know that that is someone who wants independence. And it comes from a different flag, which is La Bandera de Lares, which also has that light blue.

The original Puerto Rican flag. Wow, I didn't know that. Bad Bunny makes reference to La Bandera de Azul Clarito in La Mudanza. He says, like, the day that I die, I don't want them to forget my face. And I want them to put on a song of mine the day that Hostos returns. And on the coffin, a flag, a light blue flag. So, like, very openly talking about independence, but also making a reference.

And Hostos died in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. And he's buried there. And he said that he did not want to be buried in Puerto Rico until it was a free country. So what Benito is doing in that line is sort of imagining like a day that Hostos could be buried here.
