The title of this blog, "Mestizaje", is from the title of a song by one of my favorite bands: Ska-P , who hail from Spain and play ska-punk. Mestizaje can be Google translated as "Miscegenation". The lyrics (from http://es.musikazblai.com/ska-p/mestizaje/ ), with English translation in parenthesis: Negro africano, asiático oriental, indio americano, africano musulmán ( Black African, Oriental Asian, Amerindian, African Muslim ) Blanco europeo, aborigen australiano, cinco continentes en un mismo corazón ( White European, Aborigine Australian, five continents in one heart) MULTIRACIAL, MULTICULTURAL, MULTIRACIAL, MULTICULTURAL ( Multi-racial, Multi-cultural..) Desde Filipinas a América Central, desde el Polo Norte hasta Madagascar ( From the Philippines to Central America, from the North Pole to Madagascar) Este puto mundo no es de nadie y es de todos, cinco continentes en un mismo corazón ( This fucking world is not anyone's and is for everyone, five continents
