The voice of a nation, Toto La Momposina, the iconic Afro-Colombian singer and child of political prisoners who was black listed by Colombia’s fascist government for the pride of Black resistance in her music, has passed. She was the soundtrack to my childhood, she’s who I put on and dance for hours to when I’ve had a bad day, she is all of Latin America to me, her Bullerengues are a spiritual realm, and she herself is eternal. Rest in power, Reina de la Cumbia 🕊️
