Song Meaning of “Se Quedo el Boogaloo” by El Gran Combo De Puerto Rico
‘Se Quedo el Boogaloo’ by El Gran Combo De Puerto Rico speaks of a lost era of music and dancing in Puerto Rico. The lyrics evoke nostalgia for the good old days when the boogaloo, a genre of Latin dance combining elements of mambo, soul, jazz, and R&B, was the rhythm of choice and brightened up the night. It was a time of optimism and of fun. The song mourns for those days, and calls for a return to the days when musical expression was so vibrant and so full of life. It is a cry for unity and recognition, for the joy and colors of the boogaloo to be heard and seen once again.
