“Querido Abuelo” by Becky G, contributed by Kiara Solano (2025)
The song discusses the yearning and longing caused by the absence of the singer’s grandfather. In it, heartfelt acceptance of such loss is conveyed. The piece provides a space for individuals with similar stories to not only relate to the loss of an individual dear to them but also demonstrate a sense of appreciation that resembles those of the last words shared. “Querido abuelo Tu recuerdo aquí, en mi alma, siempre está,” translated as “Dear grandfather, I remember you here, in my soul, you forever are,” sets the tone for the entire song, a tone that portrays the pain but also gratitude that comes with having the individual as part of one’s life.
