I applaud Camila for trying to break out of the 'spicy latina' stereotype she was in

but you know what? at least she's trying. at least she doesn't just want to be known as 'the latin girl'. Because we are more than our ethnicity. yes we are. We are more than the culture we come from. yes, it is a part of us. yes, it made us. But take me for instance; my family is Italian. but i am more than just "family values" and "food". I have multiple facets to my personality. I am a philosopher, I am neither here nor there.

 

so kudos to Camila for breaking out of the expected stereotypes of a hispanic singer. show us all of you!

so the hispanic stereotype only comes handy when is trendy and you are selling?

Agree about the latina part but since when she was spicy she never had that type of sex appeal

She literally chose it because everything flopped into oblivion before Havana.

 

And she abandoned it just because her last album performed tragically too.

I am Italian CANADIAN. So no, I can't handle India level of spiciness but I can handle a peperoncino calabrese or a salsa all'arrabbiata, yes I can.

Claimed? She's literally Cuban born, Mexican raised, Miami living. She is as Latina as can be. She doesn't need to be claimed because she IS

The thing is that "stereotype" was the only thing which had commercial appeal on her If You Say So Shrug GIF

The most innovative artist of her generation. She is not afraid to take risks. She does whatever she wants regardless of the commercial outcome. She's doesn't care of flopping and she doesn't hype herself up to an unrealistic level :clap3:

She's always been back and forth with that. The Hurting The Healing The Floppong had nothing latin on it, but since the first two singles flopped they came quick with the latina move, and it worked for a while. For Romance she wanted to step away from that, but the songs that performed better were the latin ones. For Familia it had mostly latin songs but it was too far away from 'spicy latina' stereotype already, like, Bam Bam was... something else, but not really into the spicy stereotype
