As part of La Brega’s upcoming album, Xenia Rubinos covers “Preciosa,” a love song written for Puerto Rico.

Because going to the mall isn’t just going to the mall.

Porque ir al mall no es solo ir al mall.

What if the first person born on the moon was Puerto Rican?

¿Qué pasaría si la primera persona nacida en la luna fuera puertorriqueña?
