Today's song, Loíza, is part of Tego Calderón’s extremely successful debut album, El Abayarde. In Loíza, Tego mixes an assortment of modern beats with bomba, and topples the mixture with his signature sharp lyrics which in this case criticize the way in which politicians, law enforcement, government officials, and wealthy individuals in Puerto Rico discriminate and exclude the town of Loíza, a town heavily populated by Afro-Puerto Ricans.
