keeps us grounded and connected to ourselves and the people we love, juxtaposed with the newness of not only moving to a new place but also moving forward. Mari’s lyrics, “Neighbors are strangers ” and “the birthday songs being shorter,” solidify the feeling of being in a new place and not having the same community around you for support. The feeling Algo Falta. It captures how homesickness is something that keeps us grounded and connected to ourselves and the people that we love, juxtaposed against the newness of not only moving to a new place but also having to move forward and the pain that comes with it.

The Venezuelan singer draws on real emotion felt by many of those who have had to pick up their lives and rebuild them somewhere else. The song comes as a reminder that Venezuela’s refugee and displacement crisis has affected millions. According to the UNHCR: “Nearly 7.9 million people have left Venezuela in search of protection and a better life. The majority – more than 6.9 million people – are hosted in Latin American and Caribbean countries,” and even here in the United States.

So the song and the message have a wider message is that no matter where we are we will always hold onto where we are from and to those we love.

The single will be available to stream everywhere on August 6th.
