Nana Fun Fact, did you know that many of the names you hear in this song are from the natives that lived in the Island before the Spanish colonization? Jayuya, Guaynabo, Cayey... most were names of the caciques or leaders from different groups that used to live in those places. Words from the vocabulary of taínos are still used in Puerto Rico. For giving you an example, the word ‘juracán’, gave oringin to the official term ‘huracán’ (hurricane) in Spanish.

I am 100% NOT Puerto Rican. But, listening to this song paralyzed me. I was NOT here to cry, but reading some of these comments is just heartbreaking and mind blowing. I hear this song and think of all of the people that suffered in the disaster, with their children and loved ones. I look at my mom because she was born in 1972 and was only 3 when the Lebanese Civil War broke out. Her family was wealthy and got our. But what if they hadn’t been? What would’ve happened? I ask her, how come you’re not scared of loud noises? I imagine her saying, I’m used to the sound of bombs, the sight of blood, but loosing my mother was the hardest thing. I never saw my mother break down like that. This song helps me understand the many many many etc. people that were affected. I really don’t know what to say. Thank you? Bless you? I love you.

I'm 100% and I can assure you the hurricane was devastating! I was scared to death during it. The next day we went to see if my grandparents were okay but the road was too destroyed to get there, my mom broke down crying. I didn't have electricity for about 5 months. Tough I can assure you, I live in a neighborhood and I have a few friends here, trust me all that time created great bonds and friendship, now I have my neighborhood best friend who is always here for me. Things like these can really bring people together and I can assure it as I have experienced it myself. Arriba Puerto Rico 💖

understanding this is probably beyond you, Alejandro DJD, but I write this for the benefit of others. right after the hurricane passed, LMM said his social media feeds were overloaded with messages from people trying to get information about friends and relatives on the island. the larger and well-known areas got some press coverage quickly, but the inland and mountain areas were suffering horribly and there was no news of what had happened to the people there. LMM wanted to think of a way to draw attention to the plight of the island as a whole, not just the famous places tourists have heard of. People who live in PR identify very strongly with the names of their towns, and some of these little places never get their names mentioned off-island. As the cries for help kept pouring in and the names of the towns kept repeating themselves, it began to feel like a litany (a Christian worship form where you repeat a long list of things for which you need help or for whom you are asking prayers). Lastly, for sixty years the name "Maria" was associated in a positive way with West Side Story, but from now on it will always be a negative name on the island--the name of the life changing disaster that changed PR forever. So LMM took the iconic "almost like praying" line from the musical (with Stephen Sondheim's permission) and added the litany of singing the names of the towns. It. Is. Fucking. Brilliant. And he put it together in 72 fucking hours. When you get a MacArthur grant, a Pulitzer Prize, an Oscar nomination, and a shelf of Grammys and Tony Awards, you can pass judgment on whether the man can write, move people emotionally, and raise money for people in desperate need. All the talented people on this project would not have donated their time to something that was "trash". The reach of this song will go farther than anything you will ever do and by calling it nothing special you diminish yourself rather than the work. So don't criticize what you can't understand, and step aside while a genius like LMM keeps coming up with new ways to make the world a better place.

It's a good song, and I'm not knocking it, but your logic is flawed. You absolutely can critique a song well without having a string of awards. And even a very talented and accomplished artist like LMM can make mistakes or put something out that's subpar. Finally resorting to an ad hominem at the end of your comment doesn't help your case much either. Again, this is not a knock on the song or LMM, I'm just pointing out your reasoning isn't fully sound.

I'm from DC. Went to Puerto Rico on a cruise and had an experience I've never forgotten that can only happen when you're around truly wonderful people. I had a clear bag with my wallet, phone, tissues and a book. I left the ship, looked around a bit, bought some things, needed medicine so I went into the CVS across from the ship. The lady who was the cashier was so nice to me and we chatted a bit as I tried to speak in Spanish. Afterward, I got distracted and realized I needed to get back to the ship. *I got all the way back to my room and realized I didn't have my bag!!!* Again, inside was my wallet (with all credit cards & my cash), and my cell phone. I ran at top speed off the ship, down the long gangway, across the street and into the CVS. As I rushed in out of breath, looked around and saw the cashier. *She smiled at me and held up my bag!* I was so grateful!!! I tried to bless her with some money but she wouldn't take it. She just was glad I was okay. *THAT is what I think of when I think of Puerto Rico. The love and kindness of the people.* 🥰🥰🥰

For everyone who is commenting that they do not know what the song lyrics are about: A majority of the lyrics are city and town names in Puerto Rico. For example, my grandad currently lives in Aguadilla. My bloodline is rooted in Rincón, Ponce, and San Juan. These are all recited in the song. Anything else was an ad lib or declaring of love for their island. Thank you for showing your support despite the language barrier.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is truly a modern bard, one of the greatest musicians of our time, and such a wonderful person with a big heart. My knowledge of Spanish is elementary school level, so I don't understand most of the lyrics, but still, this was great. The spirit of the song transcends the language barrier. And, as a musical theater geek, I love how the song started with a few lines of "Maria" from "West Side Story"; the minute I saw the title, I had a feeling that's where the song would go and it didn't disappoint. Bravo, Lin, and everyone else involved. P.S. Would anyone else LOVE to hear Lin sing the role of Tony, or at the very least record songs from "West Side Story" on an album? I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

If you watch the interview where he explains the genesis of the idea that is based on a commonality shared by Puerto Ricans, the song will then make perfect sense.

I don't know how everyone felt, but personally, the first time I heard this song and I heard when they said the name of the pueblo where I was born (MAYAGÜEZ) I was filled with pride that I can't possibly explain in words. It may seem trivial to some people, but to many Puerto Ricans, this song is special, and I am sure it is even more special to those who experienced Hurricane Maria first hand. Sometimes in order to help you don't need to do big things. Giving people hope, pride, and happiness is enough. Giving the people of Puerto Rico something that is uniquely theirs, was enough in this case, to at least lift a bit of the load.

@vrianalyaguero5289 6 жыл бұрын

Silphaer same! Also in the lyrics they are saying all the places in Puerto Rico cuz we had no signal to contact people and the family and friends out of Puerto Rico had no idea if they were okay. So they would say "anyone know about Humacao, Carolina, Juncos?" and people would send messages in the radio to know if anyone in those places are okay and that was converted into lyrics. If my explanation suck (it sucks) there is a video that lin explained it himself.

@a-mellowtea 6 жыл бұрын

As Vrianaly said, and if I remember correctly, the lyrics list off all 78 cities in Puerto Rico. "Say it loud and there's music playing, say it soft and it's almost like praying" is a lyric from the musical West Side Story in which Tony, the lead male, falls in love with a Puerto Rican woman named Maria. Different in this regard, of course, as Hurricane Maria is the source of all the devastation.

E Lee Ummm Lin made this because he knew that this would raise more money than he could provide. This is trending on KZfaq, #1 on ITunes, that's actually really good. Also, Lin's net worth is only $10 million. If $50 million isn't enough, how is $10 million going to do anything? So this song is going to raise more money AND awareness about Puerto Rico.

+E Lee man I'm sorry to here there is such corruption in Puerto Rico, I will have to look into the things your bringing up.

E Lee You have Absolutely NO Idea what he has given! Only people who want t o take credit for giving goes around Announcing & Blabbering how much they have given! True giving comes from the Heart & is Not Exploited for others to see! No matter how much good a person does there will Always be haters around to run their Big Fat Mouths! How much money have you given since your so interested in what someone else Did or Did Not Do???

This man inspires me so much. He wrote, recorded and released a song with so many artists in a matter of weeks. A song which sounds so hip and at the same time would be helping so many people, financially as well as giving recognition to their town. I really hope this helps the people in dire need right now. Go Lin!

I bought the song on iTunes today but also like seeing the video / Thanks Lin ! Of course it brings back the memories of Maria in West Side Story !

yashiWinchester sound so hip you kidding me. This sound ain't nothing special. It only saying almost like praying and mention all the cities in puertorico. So there's nothing special of the sound.

@flakomaster2470 6 жыл бұрын

The only reason is getting views is because puertorico still in crisis

@ellesmith9976 6 жыл бұрын

Flako Master Well the whole reason that this video was made is because of the Puerto Rico crisis going on right now...

Just in case anyone doesn’t understand the significance of this, this basically the equivalent of a series of tornado devastating Texas and then Texan singers and song writers around the entire States writing a song about the cities and town destroyed by it. As in, it’s a pretty damn big deal.
