We asked @rainaopr and @grupo_ife to reimagine I Wonder If I Take You Home. They brought it back to PR with some traditional percussion like maracas + claves and a rhythm that's similar to one called orisa that's sometimes used in salsa. + it's RaiNao's first English track.

In her piece about I Wonder If I Take You Home, @RaquelReichard explores what Lisa Lisa and freestyle meant for a generation of boricua women who saw themselves in this music. Freestyle was liberating. It put them in touch with their bodies. wnycstudios.org/podcasts/la-…

LA’s Party Crew Scene Released the Pressures of Being a Child of Immigrants

For Latine teens like me in the 2000s, the party crew scene was the place to grind the night away far away from parental supervision. And as a first-generation Peruvian-American who grew up in an...

Lisa Lisa’s “I Wonder if I Take You Home” opened intergenerational conversations around sexuality, respectability and empowerment. @raquelreichard dives into the world of freestyle, from the neon outfits of the 80s to today's East Orlando skating rinks: link.chtbl.com/labregapodcas…
