La Moña

montuno candente
hot tracks
my people dancing away
all the ills the week brought about


there is no redemption
except for the montuno
el guaguanco you danced to
the entire week is expended on
the montuno
el mambo
la moña
that special dance moment

the band or la orquesta or DJ
is not important
it doesn't matter
the dance matters
the ritual
the spinning
the progression
the evolution of the guaguanco

even though you were just letting off steam
you were culturally cleansing your soul
