Escándalo (feat. La Sonora Dinamita)

Mariana Seoane's song 'Escándalo' in collaboration with La Sonora Dinamita is a vibrant and defiant declaration of love that challenges societal norms and gossip. The word 'escándalo' translates to 'scandal' in English, and the repetition of this word throughout the song emphasizes the central theme of a love affair that is considered scandalous by the public eye. The lyrics describe a relationship that is kept hidden, likening it to a love that is 'stronger than a volcano' and suggesting a passionate and intense connection between the lovers.

The song's narrative conveys the struggle of maintaining a relationship that is frowned upon by society. The lovers are 'hidden from the moon,' indicating that they must keep their love secret. However, the protagonist expresses a rebellious attitude, stating that they do not care about the rumors and censorship of their name throughout the city. This defiance is further highlighted by the lines 'Este río desbordado / No se puede controlar' ('This overflowing river / Cannot be controlled'), which metaphorically represents the unstoppable nature of their love.

Mariana Seoane's performance, combined with the infectious rhythm of cumbia by La Sonora Dinamita, turns the song into an anthem for those who choose to live their lives on their own terms, regardless of societal judgment. The lyrics 'Vivo mi vida / Soy como soy' ('I live my life / I am as I am') encapsulate the message of self-acceptance and the refusal to conform to others' expectations. The song encourages listeners to embrace their choices and love boldly, even if it means causing a scandal.
