Welcome to

“According to legend, the Aztec people had migrated from a place called Aztlan to Central Mexico. For mean the Southwestern United States, their homeland.”

-Gloria Anzaldua

During the Chicano movement, Mexican Americans were fighting for their rights and a sense of belonging. what was once their own land and the concept of Aztlan was so desirable because it was proof they still had a home.

I would argue some of us still fight for that sense of belonging. I fear that our cry for help phrases that have “Ni de aqui, ni de alla” and “not mexican enough or american enough” have now made us into broken records. panic experience and after all these years, why is the question, “Am I enough?” still around as if our identity is codependent on others to give. I know we still want acceptance within the community. I know we still want to feel 50% that. Which is why I think we are still fighting for an Aztlan. We still look for a safe haven, a positive mentality, to every side of us, without our constantly having to prove ourselves.

Where we feel like we didn’t just slip between the cracks.

Where we feel more than enough to the point we are overflowing with who we are.

We are still looking for a home.

We deserve to be seen and heard.

So without further ado, this is for you. For us.

No more questioning our identity but embracing it.

Welcome to Aztlan Magazine.

Spanglish Songs in

When I first heard Camila Cabello’s song, “La Buena Vida”, I could not wrap my head around it. I wanted to like it, but something felt so wrong and off. I think maybe I was battling this preposition that I’ve been hearing since I was a little girl which was “Don’t mix your spanish and your english”. I was told that speaking in both languages in the same sentence sounded unsophisticated, mis-structured, and uncultivated. My problem with La Buena Vida was that it has a tejano/ spanish sound with English lyrics.

The Tejano genre is already a mix of Mex ican and Texan/ U.S. sounds, but I have been listening to Tejano music since I was little with my family or at parties and I had never heard it in English.

By Julissa Hernandez

Selena Quintanilla, a famous tejano singer, sang ‘Enamorada De Ti” was meant to have a familiar sound base from Tejano music but the label wanted the band to be flexible with a sound that they could make in Spanish but also translate to English. Camila isn’t the first to mix Spanish roots with English lyrics but La Buena Vida was an interesting take and by me feeling that something was off, made me realize how much it was true to me.

What recourse is left to them [chicanos] but to create their own language? A language which they can connect their identity to, one capable of commuwwnicating the realities and values true to themselves- a language with terms that are neither esponol ni ingles, but both.” (How to Tame a Wild Tongue, Anzaldua).

I remember pivotal moments like when Kali Uchis went viral for her bilingual song, Telepatia, in 2021, bilingual song Selfish Love by Selena Gomez, and A Handful of Water by Sofia Valdes whichww I found in 2021. Yes, I am aware other hits like Shakira, Pitbull, etc., have mixed English and Spanish and this isn’t a new thing but for me, those versions either came in English or Spanish. It was rare when both English and Spanish verses were together on a song on purpose, one language taking up as much space as the other.

Since 2021 I have been looking for artists who sing in Spanglish trusting that their intended audience, like me, will understand what they are singing in both languages without any “English Version” or “Spanish Version”. Sometimes when a song in Spanish was a great hit by an amazing musical artist, it would be changed it to English, or vice versa, to help broaden the spectrum of listeners.

Don’t get me wrong, I like English and Spanish versions because I think they bring a variety of ways to sing and inter pret a song; but Spanglish songs have some thing special. They feel like a love letter from an artist to me- to our community of people who feel the way we do. It’s an embracement of ‘los dos lados’. It’s saying, “I am both Spanish and English and that doesn’t cut me in half, it makes me whole”. We are whole. I am happy to support a musician who does songs in English, songs in Spanish, songs in Spanglish and is ultimately proud of who they are and all their in-betweens. It makes me want to embrace mine.

Not to mention, there’s just more to go around. Sometimes there’s a saying in Spanish that just makes perfecr sense in Spanish and at the same time some verses can feel right in English. Why change that? It’s not about being misstructured or uncultivated because when it comes to art, our purpose to bring all of ourselves.

Anyway, I’m happy to report that I abso lutely love La Buena Vida, Telepatia, along with many more, so I thought it would be fun to make a playlist consisting of more artists who make bilingual music like Maria Isabel, Niko Rubio, Boy Pablo, and more! Hope you enjoy!

How to do a Sleek

Braided

An easy to do, easy to maintain ponytail braid? Sign us

By L’Oreal

STEP ONE STEP THREE

Take the L’Oreal Paris Studio Line Overworked Hair Putty andslick back your hair with a paddle brush. The putty also works to give you texture and thickness to hold your look together, making it perfect for this particular style.

Alternate adding the putty and brushing until you get your hair to the level of slick that you desire, then grab a hair tie and put your hair into a low ponytail. After that, wrap your hair with a scarf or styling stripsor 15 to 20 minutes to get it to set.

Once you get to your desired length and thickness, take the L’Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold, Light Hairspray

Unscented and spray the length of the braid generously. This will keep the braiding hair together, as well as tame any flyaways that may appear.turis volendi gendignis molorrovidi aut fugit quam velesto veles maioreh endellatia sam aut facium alitat et, quatius, odit mi, illab ipis et et libus enihil idit aliqui odi omnis adignati sae nonsed ut nor for fill placeholder text okay nevermind.

Braided Ponytail

This style works on all hair lengths, but for maximum drama, most people will add extensions or braiding hair to get a super long and sturdy braid. To do so, grab the braiding hair and loop a hair tie in the middle of the bundle. Then loop the braiding hair bundle around the low ponytail you created with your hair in the first step, attaching it with the hair tie. Start braiding the braiding hair into your natural hair, while also being sure to leave out a section of hair so you can wrap the base of the braid with it once you’re done braiding.

STEP TWO STEP FOUR

When you go to sleep, tie down your slicked back hair to keep it flat and wrap the braid into a bun and cover it with a bonnet or silk scarf. Braided ponytails last for about a week or two, and it can easily be refreshed and re-done. Equas ereruptatio te laut as accus quam remperf eruntio. Ipsum acipsunt mod ut de verovitatur? Et faccabo.
