“La Culpa” pairs Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany García with Venezuelan band Rawayana for a cheeky, tropical confession. Over bouncing Caribbean rhythms, the storytellers retrace a steamy summer night in Santurce where a citywide blackout, cheap rum and live plena music blur the lines between fun and recklessness. Pockets are emptied, names are forgotten, yet the chorus insists that “the blame belongs to my drunkenness”.
Behind the humor, the lyrics nod to real Caribbean life: unreliable electricity, sweltering heat and the urge to escape it all by partying in the streets. The song celebrates spontaneity, friendship and fleeting romance while gently mocking the excuses we make after too many drinks. It is a vibrant snapshot of how Latin America’s everyday struggles can still end in laughter, dance and unexpected kisses lit only by candlelight.
