Are we fighting back? voice-verified

Are we under attack? voice-verified

Where does this record land at this moment? voice-verified

Are there any specific tracks on the record that you think addresses the moment that we're in? voice-verified

The other thing I think this record uh deals with very, very artfully and creatively is the uh the aspect of Afro Latinidad. voice-verified

And which is uh still, I can't believe it. voice-verified

Like all these years later, all these decades later, we're still having to talk to people to cry try to get people to understand that you can be both Latino and black at the same time. voice-verified

Right? voice-verified

It's it's just mind boggling that that's you know, that we're still talking about this. voice-verified

Is that also part of the the message that you put out with this record? voice-verified

I want to follow up on that question because Sendog, you've got an album out right now with Kemu the Black Second and Negros de la Rasa, specifically dealing with your Afro Latinidad. voice-verified

Where where are you right now in in your uh sense of self discovery and and retouching on those roots? voice-verified

I wanna go back to something that you touched on at the beginning when you talked about the explosion of Latin music, and I think the most uh visible expression of that right now was the popularity of the Bad Bunny um participation in the Super Bowl and it raised the level and awareness of Latin music of all kinds, I think, even to the point where I was seen on social media and there were uh I was seeing a lot of uh African American folks voice-verified

Who didn't really know or weren't hip to the idea that there was some African culture in Puerto Rican music or in Puerto Rican culture, or at least the African heritage. voice-verified

Um and I'm and I've seen that over the years, like we talked about, like you there's a sometimes there's a sense that you can't be both at the same time. voice-verified

And and sometimes that still exists. voice-verified

I from my perspective. voice-verified

Do you think that music is the way to enlighten people? voice-verified

Do you think that something like this, like your album The Rise in Latin Music, which just about all has African heritage, no matter where it comes from? voice-verified

Do you think that this is the kind of thing that will maybe close that gap a little bit, you think? voice-verified
