Latino,
a blooming generation of a beautiful culture
With a little Sazon!
We bring Bachata and delicious Arroz con Habichuela
We bring endless love for everyone, Good or Bad.
Latino comes in a rainbow
Of melanin,
It doesn’t make a difference in our Culture.
Being Latino in the US, we are judged
On how we may speak or
on how we may appear.
But that doesn’t keep us from being proud of who we are.
We are Latino.
Our People bring amazing friendships
And our music will make you move your hips.
The language we speak
is very unique.
Now don’t forget us, we are people too.
Not just any people
WE ARE LATINO!
