A degüello is an expression that means CHARGE!!! and it is a term that African slaves and Cuban Creoles used as a symbol of freedom. We are four Cuban artists from different areas of the region who also live in different parts of the world and from our identity and cultural variety we make a call in this song for the freedom of human beings.

This song is an invitation to use our voice to unveil our stories, ideas and dreams that have been veiled behind stereotypes or restrictive circumstances, remaining hidden or changed with time. A call for unity and solidarity, among all of us humans. A reflection about our emigrant physical and spiritual journey which is filled with duality: The optimistic side, that embraces hope and aspirations for a better life and the one bearing the struggles, rejections, misunderstandings and nostalgia, that may alienate us, despite our will to continue.

Poggy wrote the song and reached out to me with a demo of guitar and vocals. I then transformed the demo into an electronic soundscape by adding instrumentation and producing the track. Finally, Frank added trumpet and Jorge added Tres. The song is about reinventing oneself to be a better person. To make an inner change that results in social change when reflecting that transformation back on the world. The lyrics are symbolic of letting go of what you know and opening your heart to something that reflects the innate capacity to love and heal.
