Grammy-winning producer Emilio Estefan has gathered up an all-star small army of Latino artists and friends, including Shakira, Carlos Santana, Thalía, Pepe Aguilar and wife Gloria Estefan, to stand up against the anti-Mexican movement that Donald Trump sparked earlier this summer.
Estefan told Billboard that, after listening to a TV talking head make false and vindictive anti-Latin statements on TV, he has rounded up dozens of Latino celebrities to record "We’re All Mexican," which he describes as a musical "celebration of Hispanics and our accomplishments."
The song, which will be released later in September, will also include reggaetonero Wisin, Wyclef Jean, radio personality Enrique Santos and famed Spanish-American chef José Andrés, most of whom will be featured rapping in the track.
"There’s a message being sent out to the world where people are giving opinions that are plain wrong. We need to lift up our pride and show the world what we’re doing," said the Cuban-American, who has won 19 Grammy awards.
He continued by saying that "We're All Mexican" "is not so much an answer to the real-estate developer turned Republican candidate as it is an answer to the sentiment that we’ve progressed [as Hispanics] and we need to let people know that." And with this project, he added, "I want to send a message that represents unity."
“Trump doesn’t represent anything to me," Estefan told Billboard. "Everyone has their opinion, and he can have whatever opinion he wants, as long as he doesn't humiliate my people."
Yup, they should add we are the drunk drivers.
I was thinking it was some form of cosmic radiation.
Deadly Thalia rays emanating from the Van Allen belts, and what not.
I was willing to block it out until he wore a “Che” T-Shirt.
We might all be American. We are not all Mexican.
Emilio and Gloria ARE NOT Mexicans! (Cubans)
Shakira IS NOT Mexican!
Wyclef Jean IS NOT Mexican! (Haitian)
Enrique Santos IS NOT Mexican! (Cuban)
José Andrés IS NOT Mexican! (Spaniard)
The only ones that are Mexican or have Mexican Ancestry is Thalia, Carlos Santana, Pepe Aguilar
“Trump doesn’t represent anything to me,” Estefan told Billboard. “Everyone has their opinion, and he can have whatever opinion he wants, as long as he doesn’t humiliate my people.”
WTF!! “My people” Hey dickhead! Your Cuban and you do not represent nor do you speak for Mexicans. Infact, there are Mexicans who hate Cubans because the Wet Foot/ Dry Foot thingy. Many Mexicans believe Cubans got a special deal when coming to the US by boat.
Do they like to answer telephones?
Only 3 the rest are Cuban, Haitian, and Spaniard
Estefan’s family fled the Cuban revolution to come to America. Her father was part of the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion to unseat Castro.
If there’s anyone she should be angry with, it’s Obama, not Trump. Can’t fix stupid, though.
OMG ROFL ROFL
This won’t play that well in the Cubano community.
Is she a 911 truther?
Thank you. I know only that Chakira is cute as heck.
None of these people would ever vote Republican anyway, so what’s the difference.
I know. Actors and musicians are 99% idiots. They have no reasoning qualities. This will hurt them more than they think.
They have no idea what they are saying and are giving Trump more momentum. A lot of Hispanics are also part of the silent majority.
Mexicans are ugly and their food is full of lard. How do ya like that Carlos?
I thought the Estefans were From Cuba?
In case nobody asked, does anyone have some photos of their palatial estates in meh-eeek-oooh? No? That’s just weird. Assclowns.
may as well add
“We are the rapists, we are the murderers....”
Comments on this story on Billboard magazine shows most people are not sympathetic to their cause.
“Mexico doesn’t say: we are all Mexican...they deport without thinking about it...just like their laws state.”
And I found this riddle there:
What do you call a Mexican that can swim? A Texan
I would expect liberals to chime in because it is a music magazine, but they haven’t. I hope the song is a great big flop.
