Atrevete

The song 'Atrevete' by Teenangels, a group from the popular Argentine TV series 'Casi Ángeles,' is a vibrant call to embrace one's true self and break free from societal expectations. The lyrics are a playful yet poignant dialogue between the characters, urging each other to step out of their comfort zones and challenge the norms that confine them. Luca's lines, 'atrevete-te, baja del sulqui, inspírate, yo quiero ver que cantes,' set the tone by encouraging someone to take a risk and express themselves freely, symbolized by the act of singing.

Tefi's response, 'deja ya el gauchaje, que pareces una salvaje, maquíllate,' reflects the pressure to conform to societal standards of beauty and behavior. This line highlights the tension between authenticity and societal expectations, suggesting that one must change their appearance to be accepted. Caridad's lines further this theme, 'ni locá, me subo al caretaje, engórdate, sácale huesos a tu traste, endúlzate, así nadie va amarte,' which sarcastically suggest extreme measures to fit in, ultimately pointing out the absurdity of these expectations.

The playful banter between the characters, especially Tefi's exclamation, 'eso no rima ahí!!!!' and Caridad's retort, 'pero te saque la ficha, téfi!!!!!!!!,' adds a layer of humor while underscoring the serious message. The song encourages listeners to 'atrévete'—dare to be themselves, despite the pressures to conform. It’s a celebration of individuality and a critique of the superficial standards imposed by society, wrapped in a catchy and engaging tune.
