¡Viva viernes! (Long live Friday! In other words, TGIF!)
La fecha es el veinticuatro (24) de noviembre del año dos mil veintitrés. (The date is November 24, 2023.)
Afrikana (African) is a biographical song by Marga Mbande, who was born in Barcelona and has Equatoguinean heritage. Many want to feel connected to their heritage despite where their families may have migrated.
“Soy africana.” (I’m African).
“Como Bata es la región continental de Guinea Ecuatorial, Malabo capital y un pasado colonial, no hay que olvidar.” (As Bata is the continental region of Equatorial Guinea, Malabo is the capital and a colonial past, we must not forget).
“Africana… aunque no pude nacer en el lugar del que soy original.” (African, even though I could not be born in the place that I’m originally from).
“Mami tuvo que marchar y ahora solamente piensa en regresar.” (Mommy had to leave and now she only thinks of returning).
¡Cantemos y conectemos! (Let’s sing and connect!) You can sing along to la letra (the lyrics).
¡Que tengas un viernes vinculado! (May you have a linked Friday!)
