Emilio Estefan, Shakira And Others Sound Off Against Bigotry With "We're All Mexican"

Emilio Estefan is fighting against the recent anti-Latino sentiments being spewed by conservative politicians and political pundits in the best way he knows how: through music. Billboardreports the Grammy-winning producer has collaborated with a diverse group of Latino artists to produce and record a song called, We Are All Mexican, which is slated to debut later in September. "Theres a message being sent out to the world where people are giving opinions that are plain wrong," Estefan tells Billboard magazine in an exclusive interview. "We need to lift up our pride and show the world what were doing."Estefan goes on to explain that the song isnt a direct response to Trump, who he says hes known for many years. Trump doesnt represent anything to me, explains Estefan. Everyone has their opinion, and he can have whatever opinion he wants, as long as he doesn't humiliate my people."The Cuban-American producer tells Billboard he was moved to produce the track after listening to someone on television make false and vindictive anti-Latino statements. [The song] is an answer to thesentiment that weve progressed [as Hispanics] and we need to let people know that, he explains, later adding, I want to send a message that represents unity. The song is set to be released later in September and will feature reggaeton singer Wisin, Wyclef Jean, Thalia, Shakira, Carlos Santana and, of course, his wife Gloria Estefan, amongmany other diverse Latino artists.
