I just realized watching this video with you. A Mirabel is waking each family member. Luisa is already awake and exercising. Talk about character details. Love your channel as well. Thanks for posting.
Look at how each hand grabs one of the coffee cups in the beginning too! They each have their personality even in that small snippet of animation. It's really great stuff!
I love that she asked about cultural memories. I grew up in an African American family. I grew up in the midwest, but both of my parents are from the south. We have a huge family just like you mentioned in your Latin and Italian culture. My mom is 1 of 6 kids, and my dad was 1 of 8 kids. My last family reunion pre-covid had about 250 people all branching from my dad's grandparents who had 11 children. Love the big family.
If you watch the extras for this movie, they hired Latin dancers to act out the songs then filmed them with skirts and without so they could animate them correctly.
Also fun is in the movie, that rainbow-y river at the end is a real place and when people who worked on the movie saw it when they went to Colombia to research they pretty much said "that is so pretty we HAVE to put it in somehow"
The Genre of this song is CHANDÉ, part of the Colombian folklore. With this rhythm we dance "la danza del garabato" in Carnival of Barranquilla, the coast of Colombia. 🇨🇴 Pd: I love your reactions, thanks for the content✨
So, because I am Colombia and this is an Encanto reaction...what I definitely love about my culture is the variety of music we have! No wonder we are known as the country of the thousand rhythms.
Oh wow! That's so true! Yes I read about that! When is the Mexican Jewish Festival? That would be amazing to experience. What a wonderful combination of cultures.
What a great interaction! Really loved the part where you talked about the Cumbia. As a matter of fact, the roots that you were referring to are the Chibchas (Muiscas) - indigenous cultures - that lived in Colombia for centuries!! Love to you both!!
I'm latina and I live in a latin country and what your mom said about the grandma and the respect is so true. In both sides of my family my grandmas were always the person to admire, in the head of the table in family reunions, every decitions depend in what grandma say. From my mom side, She has greatgrand kids now, and the respect continues going generations after generations. It's insane how we are raise to respect them and to act depending of what they will think. It's respect of course, but it leads to what you see in the movie and how everybody has to act a certain way to please them and how that can leads to mental issues. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MY GRANDMA, but most of my insecurities come from that and the lack of filter that they have to comunicate and to express themselfs. That's what I loved the movie, It represents the latin family very well, even if we don't want to admit it.
Just randomly got suggested this video by TH-cam (and the "We Don't Talk About Bruno" reaction vid) and I can say, I am half black/ African American and Filipino and I cannot stop ranting about how much I love this movie! Instantly when this movie started, you knew exactly where the culture and history was drawn from and the songs definitely made way for that. This movie definitely makes me feel at home even though I'm not Latino; but within the bloodline of being Filipino, we definitely have some of that influence and are extremely familiar with the big families.
The name Reggaeton actually comes from the word Reggae which is the ultimate root of the genre. It's a Latinized version of modern Reggae (a.k.a Dancehall). I think Louisa's song about pressure has a bit of Reggaeton influence in it.
This was so fun!! Thank you, your mom is very fun and her comments were on point! Just one thing, actually, the voice of abuela is a Colombian actress call María Cecilia Botero, and she does the Spanish and English versions. Actually, the voices of Abuela, Pepa, Feliz, Julieta, and Mariano are both from the same actors in spanish and english (all of them Colombians).
@@Zophiela Oh, I didn't know that!! They have a very similar voice, I didn't notice the change, I really thought Maria Cecilia Botero was singing. Thank you!
@@alejandraardilatellez1675 For the Spanish version, The singing voice was Janeth Waldman, Famous Colombian actress, host, singer, and comedian known for doing impressions of famous female singers. But Maria Cecilia Botero, famous Colombian television, theater and film actress, Called: “The Great Lady of Colombian Television” also did the speaking part of Abuela Alma in Spanish.
You and your mom are too cute. I love how musical she is. She picks up right away on the sounds. Also you have her entire face. 😂🤣 Twins Also u need to check out the dance version of the choreography. They hired to map out the movements of the dancing
Because most of Latin American cultures have been shaped by Catholicism, mothers and grandmothers are sacred (and we look at them as a symbol of Mary, pure, virginal -I know...-, and divine). I think it's a trait we share with Italians, and oh surprise, they are also Catholic.
I'm from Algeria and I'm surprised how much Latin American cultures and North African cultures have in common... some of the beats, the dancing, the respect for the matriarch, even the shape of the Madrigal house with the opening in the middle!
because the Spanish brought African culture to the Colombian coast with African slaves. Colombia is a mixture of many rhythms, too many, we are very diverse in everything.
I love to see reactions from people who FINNALY got their representations, and hearing that it has been made not just correctly but also amazingly. My culture is Vroatian wwhich would be kind of put into the balkan cultural circle. But it all depends on where you were born. Mine are croatian bosnians from the Slavonija region and we are a christian family. Put it all together and you get a patriahal family where religion and staying with the family are number one. My family has a tradition for easter, which is coming soon, and that is collecting flowers on Palm Sunday and putting them in a bowl of watter. It says that if you wash your face in that watter first thing in the morning you will have a youthfull and beautiful face deep into your old age. We do it litteraly every year.
Im Brasil we give milk and coffee to the kids wake up as well, I know that Brazil is one of the most different but each counter is different and this is what makes the Latin family so wonderful, love the video.
My abuelo used to spoon feed me some out of his cup when I was like 4 and still living with my grandparents. When my parents brought me to the US I wasn't allowed to drink it.
Mamá was feeling the rhythm, that's a pure latina ! - You must be her first born child, you look a lot like her and she reminded me to a friend I adore, also gorg!. Greetings from Colombia. By the way, Disney actually made a lot of research and got consultation even about the hair of each character in order to not affect hurt anyone around the globe, that's why a lot of people can relate even with the hair texture.
You were talking about each Latin country has its own and different background... but in Colombia we have an special situation becauses it is like if there are five different countries in Colombia; that was the reason it was so difficult to show them all in this movie; we have a lot of music genders, food, clothes, weathers, and people... they do did an excellent job trying to show that richness... we have people in aaaall tones of skin even in the same family (as the Madrigal); to me, Félix is a good representation of the people of the Coasts, Agustín shows the people from Bogotá and the center of the country, Mirabel and Luisa represents people from Santander and Boyacá, it seems Pepa represents people from Medellín and Eje Cafetero, Dolores represents Valle and Cauca, Antonio represents Chocó, Julieta reminds los Llanos Orientales, Isabela reminds me the Amazonas, Bruno reminds me Boyacá or Nariño and Abuela is a kind of representation of them all... they are all different, as each region of Colombia 🥰 I love my country. PS: Colombiand in general do LOVE coffee, we usually have it always from kids to grow ups... but for kids (and most of us) we have just coffee with milk and we call it "coffee" or "perico" depends on the size of the cup... but the black coffee is just for grown ups and they have it before going to work, and a couple of hours later they have breakfast... we call the dark coffee "tinto" and people have it at any hour and very strong... and it is usually made with "panela" (a kind of a sweet made of sugar cane) I don't like having "tinto" but I love having "café" 🥰
Wow! Thank you for the intro to the variation in people of your beautiful country! Look at that, I learned even more from you about coffee too. Thanks! Gracias Amigo!
This song is my favourite too, Jacob. Your mom is so fun, when the accordion started, she started moving and clapping. Also you look a lot like her, around the eyes especially. Oh the touchy culture, I feel that'll get less due to covid. I am a touchy person too, I like to hug my friends and I miss it now.
Yes, Jacob's mom! I'm so happy someone is talking about the dancing and the cultural aspects of this song!!!🥺❤ I don't think I can describe what this first scene did to me, the movie was barely starting and I was already about crying, I could just feel how good this movie was going to be from the quality of the animation and all the tiny cultural details in this song.
Your mamá is super cool!!, she moved her shoulders, hugged each other and everything, (Latin love), it was entertaining to have her give her opinion, thanks!. Yeap, Latin families are.... it's a lot of people!. We are, without exaggeration, about 50 people from my mom's family and the Abuelas are the pillars in both families (mom and dad), the ones who rule, who are respected and loved.
Mama Tuto in the house again! 👋 from Texas! Such an easy laugh & fantastic Latin insight! Thanks for sharing! Love y’alls interaction! Intriguing how this song intros all the characters but also sets the stage that not all things are as they appear to be.
My favorite cultural influence of my upbringing is that we were able to play unsupervised from a VERY early age. As young as 3 or 4 years of age, playing with just the kids in the neighboring streets. I know it's unheard-of in most countries, but I even cycled alone to school at the age of 8. It was amazing to feel so free. Before you react, my parents are super loving and this is/was normal in the Netherlands! Although it does depend on where you live 🇳🇱❤️
I hope it's still that way there. Here in the US when I was a kid in the 70's and 80's, this was normal too. We played and explored and just had to be home in time for dinner. It's really a beautiful, loving gift your family and neighbors gave you all. Things have gradually changed over the decades. Kids stay way closer to home, and people are too mobile to really know their neighbors - unless you live in smaller, more rural areas. It makes me so sad, that kids have lost so much independence and freedom. You're so lucky to have this as a part of your culture. ❤️
@@lunacouer That's true, it's also because there are more dangerous people out now, and parents are more protective. Sadly, I didn't play out side with my neighbors. I never learn to use the bicycle, I didn't run back home to dinner after playing with friends in the park. I would love to go back and live that, but I live in a dangerous place, my mother couldn't let me be free but I understand her decision. I'm gonna try to live in a good place in the future, so my future kid can play and be happy, doing the things I couldn't.
@@lunacouer good to hear that you recognize it ❤️ I do recognize the more protective parenting style. But that's mainly in our (relatively) big cities. But that's not just because of crime, it's also because of traffic and public transport etc. Luckily my son still gets to explore our neighborhood on its own. I won't lie, I'm glad when he's back home (safe with mom), but I cannot let my insecurities drive my parenting 😉
Just wanted to share that abuela's part is also a "sneak peak" of a song in the later part of the movie aside from "we don't talkabout bruno"... It's "dos oruguitas" And in "all of you", the previous songs in the movie such as "the family madrigal", "what else can I do" is used aside from "we don't take about bruno". It's like a form of closure. Also In the same song when bruno sings let it go, it breifly plays the "let it go" intro from frozen
The chord progression Abuela sings in Family Madrigal is the exact theme reflected in her and her late husband’s love song, Dos Orugitas, which appears at the end of the film.
Your mom is so awesome, I can tell you two are very close. My Grandma and Grandpa are fully Metis and it was always a tradition for me, my brothers, and them to spend a full day around Christmas time to smoke salmon and make some fresh bannock. I miss those days!
I’m Arab (middle eastern) and it’s so relatable in 18:17 , I have like 61+ (biological) cousins and some of them already have children!! and I know all of them + I meet most of them every Friday! and the house is always filled with a lot of people on Friday’s even if half them didn’t come!! I also agree with a lot of what ur mom said, which makes me realize how Arabs and Latinos cultures have in common, like the elders of the family or community/neighborhoods are always respected highly! and mother’s meal or grandmother’s meals always heals us! and that parents tend to be so close to you like they hug you, kiss you in the cheek, etc. I absolutely LOVED this video, keep up the good work!! Love from Kuwait 🇰🇼!!
Your mom is adorable~ As for Cultural memories? Well, I'm Dutch-Indonesian and what I enjoy the most about is the connection forged through the food. How every family makes the same dish, but with a slightly different twist and taste to it. How there is always enough food to feed an army, or just in case you get the unexpected guests. Or how, whenever a new baby is born in our family, the older generations end up singing Indonesian lullaby's. Or how the Nan's of the family can't resist pinching the cheeks of the littlest generations, to the point of being painful. (I never saw the draw in it, until I saw my nieces and now I just want to do the same thing....)
I think there's a really common part of East Asian culture where parents (often mothers) cut up fruit and give it to their kids as a sign of encouragement, gratitude, or even apology. It's this sort of universal, "Hey, I'm thinking about you, have some oranges." It's so prevalent that people have even started making memes about it... and it makes me think about all the times my mom cut up fruit for me :')
I’m Pennsylvania Dutch (German). Culturally, it’s probably the food. And in my family, an inexplicable love of pretzels. We also sometimes use Germanic sentence constructions - even though my great grandfather was the last one who grew up speaking Pennsylvania Dutch (a form of German). My grandfather spoke it and my Dad spoke German (from school)
@@Claudia-pm7wg You are correct - it is Pennsylvania Deutsch - but it's been Americanized to be called "Pennsylvania Dutch" and that's how it's commonly known.
I don't see my spanish side of the family very often. They've started making sure I'm always able to have pupusas or plantanos whenever I visit. My favorite memory has to be the times I passed out at midnight to Latin music and drunk adults. Especially the one Tia that always had a laugh that overpowered any music.
Abuela's voice was actually played by 'María Cecilia Botero', a very famous Colombian actress, not Olga, but yeah, there are moments where her voice sound similar.
In my culture growing up we had pretty big families with a bunch of generations all living in one house (like the Madrigals) so I grew up in a house of 11 with grandparents and aunts and cousins and stuff all together. But also we had other family living next door or a block or two away in all different directions in the neighbourhood so it was a five minute stroll to get to any of their homes to visit or play with cousins and see uncles or something. On top of that we also have a culture of calling adults "aunty" and "uncle" out of respect (especially if they babysat you or let you play in their yards) which meant that a lot of kids called each other "cousin". It was wild sometimes to grow up and discover that someone you thought was blood-related to you was simply another neighbour lol. Just last year I found out that my cousin was never my real cousin even though he spent tons of time at our house and attended reunions, weddings, christening, funerals, etc. I can't unthink it now though. It's been almost 30 years so he's still my cousin as far as I'm concerned hahahah. Anyways it was very "it takes a village to raise a child" in my country and neighbours would take us out to go eat or shop or see the parades for Carnival. I'm from Trinidad and Tobago btw.
Oh I know the feelings of having a really big family. I am Asian, and compared to my Mom's family, my Father's side is the biggest! You could literally make a small village composed of my Father's family alone. I have a lot of uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins, even nephews and nieces. Sometimes when my father talk to someone or meeting someone in a gathering, he will told me and my sister that they're related to me from this great-great-great grandfather or something.
The voice actor of Mirabel (Stephanie Beatriz) is also in “in the heights” She’s also Rosa from Brooklyn 99 which is hilarious because Mirabel and Rosa are complete opposite characters😂
I'm Jewish, and like the Latin cultures, we have a lot of familial culture, and that's something I love- every big event we get the whole family together, and while our family isn't quite as big as the families in Latin countries, having those days where we're just together is amazing. Oh yeah, and our holidays. They're all amazing.
its interesting how you can hear all of the signiture of lin manuel's writing style, its so distinct and would pick it up so easily if you listen of alot of his music.
We Filipinos also loves coffee, regardless of season (dry or wet season) we drink coffee and some family really do allowed their children to drink coffee. Our Family is also run by the Matriarch, altho our Lolo (Filipino term for Abuelo) still there, our Lola (Abuela) is the one who leads our family.
I enjoyed your reaction! I'm from the Philippines and because we were colonized by Spain for 300+ years, they heavily influenced our culture. The americans kind of took over before we became truly independent. We have also been trading with china and other neighboring countries here for a long time so there's a lot of similarities and differences in us. Among the countries here, I think Philippines is the only one where majority of the people are catholic. Our language is a mixture of filipino, spanish, english, chinese and more, and so is our food. They say you can identify a filipino if their last name is spanish and their first name is american. but we have various indigenous groups around the country that have different music and culture. The people from the north mostly use bamboo for their instruments while the ones from the south mostly use brass which is similar to our neighboring countries in southeast asia. Their sounds are so different but they all are very beautiful.
Thank you for this content! 🥰😊 You two seem to have a great relationship! That's something precious 🙏💕 My mom has been gone since 2007 and we were best friends but I wish I had appreciated her more! I only learned what my culture is a couple years ago by taking a 23andme test (I never knew who my dad was). Now I know I am most Scotish, English, and Irish, but my dad was apparently from Newfoundland, Canada, which has it's own very unique culture! The musical Come From Away takes place in Newfoundland and it filled me with pride when I listened to the soundtrack! I also always wondered why I enjoyed Great Big Sea music so much as a teenager, now I know why! 🥰😍 Learning about your culture is such an enriching experience! I'm grateful to finally have the opportunity to know that stuff about myself! 🥰 Keep up the awesome videos! 🤩
My dad let me try coffee when I was 5. It was on a whim and he was more or less a single parent so who was going to complain? Our neighbors when I was a baby were from Venizuala and they taught my dad how to make what they said was the way it was done where they came from. Basically coffee brewed directly in milk. Literally just milk, saucepan, grounds. They brought the milk to a light simmer, waited for it to turn the shade of brown they liked and you strain it into a cup. That was what I got to try and...it left an impression. My dad didn't let drink coffee much until we were older after that but I've loved coffee ever since.
@@ZulmaRestituto Heating milk brings out the sugar in it. I recommend trying it with less sugar than you'd usually add. If you like creamy coffee though, you'll love it.
I cannot express how much this movie means to my family. My husband cried watching this movie. He is Puerto Rican but was raised in a white household and never got to experience the Latin coulter. This was representation he never knew he needed and he has enjoyed watching this with our daughters. All 50,000 times. Also, I give my eldest (7) coffee milk. LOL!
Hi, Jacob and Jacob's lovely mom! Greetings from Mexico! I love that a lot of things about Colombia and Mexico are shared, certain aspects and characteristics. Having a pretty big family is pretty common most Latin families, even people that are not blood related are welcomed as part of the family. Loved the movies Encanto and Coco from Disney.
I grew up in France but have the double nationality French and Italian (my mom French side, my dad Italian side). I love a bunch about the Italian culture I was exposed to since I'm a kid and it helped me build the fact that I really think myself as French AND Italian even though I grew up in France. I absolutely love all the Italian receipe my grandma and my dad taught me and know I love to cook Italian for my loved ones and my friends who think that Italian gastronomy is just cook pasta and add tomato sauce. I think it also made me more open-minded in regards of immigration. I mean, my grandparents left Italy to live in France, some of their siblings left Italy to go to Australia so I also have family there and today, I myself live in Canada. I just love how multi-cultural my childhood has been and it's a huge part of who I am today.
Cumbia is a style of Latin music that originated in Colombia and became popular throughout South America, Central America, and the United States. Traditional cumbia music uses a blend of African, Indigenous rhythms and European styles and uses musical instruments such as drums, flutes, maracas, and accordion (sometimes) depending on which country.
Essas produções recentes que se passam em países da América Latina com personagens latinos me dão esperança de ver uma animação da Disney se passando no Brasil 😩😩 Ótimo vídeo por sinal! Sua mãe me parece ser uma pessoa muito fofa e agradável.
Olga Merediz originated the role of Abuela Claudia in the Broadway production of In the Heights (2008-2011). She was nominated for a Tony Award. I believe she was the only Broadway actor to reprise her role in the movie. Video of Merediz performing "Paciencia y Fe" on Broadway: th-cam.com/video/Lhg32IlbJmk/w-d-xo.html. It's worth the watch.
Your mom was absolutely right when she said that the Latin culture (outside Europe) resembles the Mediterranian way, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, including the Balkans, thus Macedonia (where I am from). I have the same relationship with my mother, as we listen to music together and talk about it. This was amazing and so heartfelt.
Glad i'm not the only one who likes "The family Madrigal" most, ofc the other songs are amazing too but that one is always in my head! Great reaction video!
I love this commentary! As someone of Nigerian (Yoruba) heritage, I find it really cool how many similarities there are with many Latin American cultures. Huge families (my mom has 6 siblings with their own children), the respect for matriarchs, also the similarities in the percussion is something I’ve always noticed but never had the knowledge to describe properly, so I appreciated hearing this perspective on it. Amazing video, can’t wait to watch the next one!
Well, actually Colombia's percussion comes from African influences, due the black slavery that eventually arrived to latam during colonial era (...) , as a Colombian I have to admit that many of our music genres have deep roots in African influences and its rythms.
you guys are adorable, the way you bounce around thoughts is just so cute and thoughtful!! as for cultural memories, well i'm from Bahrain (not sure if anyone will even know where that is but anywayy-) and my favourite childhood memories always include some kind of family gathering.. we have quite a big family, my dad is 1 of 11 siblings and my mom is 1 of 9 so there's always been a lot of people (i just remember having to make a family tree illustration, it was horrifying. every time.) and we mostly used to do, dad's side gathering on Thursday's (and back then, every day of the week because we had an apartment in the house) and for my mom's side, on Friday's half of the family would go from morning to night, while on Saturday's everyone went, it was to accommodate everyone that lived farther haha, and it usually was like you arrive whenever (because so many people worked Saturdays. Oh and I forgot to mention that our weekends are friday, saturday!!) and leave whenever as well but everyone went home slightly earlier because we had school/work the next day. I miss Saturday lunch sooo much but since COVID started up everything has been shaken up a bit though I still see everyone almost as regularly, we are all very lucky that everyone lives in the same country and quite close together as well (i mean the country is tiny but the traffic.. the amount of shit i've heard muttered in the car HAHAH), I mean i could walk right now to my cousin's house and it would take maybe 5 minutes. Also, "religious" gatherings like Eid really were the spice in my childhood, waking up super early and wearing new clothes, visiting my great grandparents and every year, the amount of "do you know who i am?" questions would come, every year I still did not know them.. it did get more embarrassing as I got older hahah and then going to my mom's side on the first day, having lunch there + the customary eid day afternoon nap with the lights off and the children clashing up the place in the basement and ordering dinner (the amount of people throwing up after fasting for a month and then eating more than they could handle.. way too many and nobody learns) from this one local restaurant literally since I remember. The second day is at my dad's side and we mostly end up playing games like uno and monopoly, the fights were a highlight in my childhood, they still happen lmao. The third day is just whoever is free you meet up with and mostly just lie around or if you're feeling adventurous, maybe go shopping. And this is all just my family, everyone does it differently!! [Side story; my 6 year old cousin was once dropped off at my other cousins house and she went in the main gate so my uncle drove off, i'm not sure what happened but she didn't go in the house (i think she couldn't get the door to open or something) but she took the turn out of the corner and decided it wasn't the right way, traced her way back and walked the opposite way. Eventually, she got to like 2 minutes to my grandparents' house and my aunt got a call asking if she was my cousin's mother and it turned out that this woman saw her walking next to the mosque (where it's really busy and there's so many cars) and asked her if she knew her mom's number. But anyway, her dad picked her up near this mosque, 2 minutes away from my grandma's house. My grandparents still don't know about this occurrence (it happened like mid 2020), we would never hear the end of it if they did, but by the end of the week all the kids memorised 2 phone numbers from the family and their address, just in case. Also, anyone with a car was taught to wait outside until someone in the house confirms that they've made it inside hahah.]
One thing I love about my Swedish culture is you leave strangers alone, respect for privacy is very important, but you do whatever you can for your friends. A Swedish friend is a friend for life... if you can get there. :P
instead of having a little amount of coffee and lots of milk, my mom would give me very little tea with lots of milk. Also she has a million remedies for literally anything HAHAh
Both my parents is from Guatemala! Im American born but i do remember going to the country to meet family when i was young. I remember seeing big green mountains not to far from where i lived and banana trees! So frustrating when people just assume im mexican bc im hispanic. I ain't dying till Disney makes a movie set in Guatemala!!! I *really* want to learn more about my culture but idk how to, well, at least i can still speak spanish lol :D
This is the second video from your channel that I have watched (the first one being the Dos Oruguitas reaction one with your mom), and I love the way both of you analyze details from the culture to the music and even the animation. 💕
I’m salvadorian and I remember drinking café con pan before going to school and because of our culture I didn’t see this as a weird thing to do, but when I came to CA and many of my friends ask their parents if they could drink Starbucks I was like “wow”. Love your mom and how she talks about our culture. Definitely a new subscriber ♥️
I love this song! what makes it better is that mirabela has a trinket for each family member on her dress!! like a flowers for isabella, herbs for her mom, rainbows for pepa- etc.
Hi! I am actually portuguese and it's funny, because when I went on an exchange program to Finland everyone though it was so odd that we would be so touchy with everyone, even complete strangers! Guess Latinos are just pretty huggable people :)
Your mom really nailed it about Colombian cumbia jajaja. Thanks for reacting to this song, it's my favorite Encanto's song and as a colombian I appreciate it. For those who doesn't know it, this song is a really good mix of some of the most joyful rithms we have in Colombia: Cumbia (our national music which has a lot of African and indigenous roots), Vallenato (tradicional music from the Caribbean cost of Colombia), Mapalé (music created by Africans when they were brought here as slaves), and the fact that Mirabel sings it is a tribute the Bullerengue singers (Bullerengue would be the other rithm, also big afro influences). If you want to listen to those rithms I leave some links to videoclips: Cumbia: th-cam.com/video/HN1PHJE1ZFE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/7wym8B6nsx8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/FrfIxgFlbvg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/_S8dtUXSmQM/w-d-xo.html Mapalé: th-cam.com/video/YTrLkOK5loI/w-d-xo.html Vallenato: th-cam.com/video/8hSuUrK53io/w-d-xo.html (this one has a little bit of "porro", another Caribbean rithm) th-cam.com/video/DqPMV_hpitA/w-d-xo.html (this one is modern vallenato) th-cam.com/video/xqA29k-ttrQ/w-d-xo.html (a classic) th-cam.com/video/_ptHsR0cGPM/w-d-xo.html (a very romantic one) Bullerengue (this is almost magic): th-cam.com/video/EnBrxD_XZlI/w-d-xo.html (this one explains why Colombia is one of the most happy nations all around the world) th-cam.com/video/RNXe-5XPbZc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/3wN5YcDTx0Y/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/RUUYr4yTnsE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xbma5G6a23U/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Y8WV2yrcN28/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/a-T5_v2jngc/w-d-xo.html And if you want to see a full display of almost every rithm danced, here you have: th-cam.com/video/6x8HXTraFf0/w-d-xo.html (promise you, it only gets better)
Yeah Marc Anthony is in 'In the heights' he played Usnavi's tio and of course featured musically, but I'm loving this conversation about culture from two generations, its warming😊
Well I am Colombian, specifically from the northern coast (Barranquilla, Atlántico) and some of my favorite cultural memories are from Christmas time; in Colombia we go all out for Christmas, it starts at December 7th (día de las velitas) and ends in January 6th (día de reyes). Anyway, the 9 days before Christmas eve (so starting December 16th) we have la novena. They are little reunions were we would read some prayers, los gozos and then sing some villancicos, and at the end they would give the kids typical Christmas food (buñuelos, natillas, galleta navideña, etc). It was also tradition to go to the novena in all the houses of the block (the neighbors would make it at different hours so we could go to every single one) and on Christmas eve if you went to every novena they would give you a present. Also at 12 am in Christmas eve, which means the beginning of Christmas day we would put baby Jesus in the pesebre because he was born. Pd: I'm sorry it's so long, but is hard to explain such a beautiful tradition in few words🥰. Te quiero Colombia 🇨🇴
Fun fact: I'm almost sure that the part were they show the story of Abuela Alma and Abuelo Pedro, they met una noche de velitas. That day we light candles and put them around the house with farolitos. And in my family we have an extra tradition, that everytime you put a candle you say something you are grateful for. The candles are supposed to guide/light the way, for the Virgen Mary and the Holy Spirit to the house
Not only was the grandma in In the Heights but also Mirabel (Stephanie Beatriz) and Lin Manuel Miranda who was one of the main writers/composers for the songs in Encanto are also in it.
I just realized watching this video with you. A Mirabel is waking each family member. Luisa is already awake and exercising. Talk about character details. Love your channel as well. Thanks for posting.
Luisa* :)
@@klosux Thanks for the edit!
And Isabela's hair covers our view of Mirabel, possibly to signify how Mirabel feels overshadowed by her "perfection".
La Abuela is already awake and ready too, it's so grandma's to wake up and get ready for the day at once.
Look at how each hand grabs one of the coffee cups in the beginning too! They each have their personality even in that small snippet of animation. It's really great stuff!
I love that she asked about cultural memories. I grew up in an African American family. I grew up in the midwest, but both of my parents are from the south. We have a huge family just like you mentioned in your Latin and Italian culture. My mom is 1 of 6 kids, and my dad was 1 of 8 kids. My last family reunion pre-covid had about 250 people all branching from my dad's grandparents who had 11 children. Love the big family.
Woah!!!
lol, my dad's the 5th of 8 kids, my mom's the 2nd of 5, and I'm the 5th of 6. Family reunions are huge. XD
My maternal grandma had 7 kids and my paternal grandma had 11 at the time of her death she had 45 grandkids.
@@JacobRestituto my family is just like that. Idk how there is of us in total
I can relate. My mom had 7 siblings; my dad had 18. Family reunions pre-covid averaged around 400.
If you watch the extras for this movie, they hired Latin dancers to act out the songs then filmed them with skirts and without so they could animate them correctly.
Wow!
Specifically Colombian ones too!
That is so interesting!
Also fun is in the movie, that rainbow-y river at the end is a real place and when people who worked on the movie saw it when they went to Colombia to research they pretty much said "that is so pretty we HAVE to put it in somehow"
She nailed it! The small mannerisms from Latin culture that are portrayed is what really amazed me as well. The shoulder work does not go unnoticed 💃
Right!!??
Yes! The SHOULDERS!!
The Genre of this song is CHANDÉ, part of the Colombian folklore. With this rhythm we dance "la danza del garabato" in Carnival of Barranquilla, the coast of Colombia. 🇨🇴
Pd: I love your reactions, thanks for the content✨
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Viva Colombia
It also sounds like VALLENATO .. one of his music consultants was Carlos vives
So, because I am Colombia and this is an Encanto reaction...what I definitely love about my culture is the variety of music we have! No wonder we are known as the country of the thousand rhythms.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
As a Jew, I love that your mom used the word chutzpah to describe Latin culture. Family is a huge part of both of our cultures
Sooo good!
The influence on the Jewish community on South America is so incredibly underrated. To have such a rich and wide worldview is so beautiful.
Something that's interesting is how alot of South Americans are actually decended from jews who escaped from spain
I wonder if they've been to the Mexican-American Jewish Cultural Festival.
Phineas and Ferb reference.
Oh wow! That's so true! Yes I read about that!
When is the Mexican Jewish Festival? That would be amazing to experience. What a wonderful combination of cultures.
What a great interaction! Really loved the part where you talked about the Cumbia. As a matter of fact, the roots that you were referring to are the Chibchas (Muiscas) - indigenous cultures - that lived in Colombia for centuries!! Love to you both!!
I'm latina and I live in a latin country and what your mom said about the grandma and the respect is so true. In both sides of my family my grandmas were always the person to admire, in the head of the table in family reunions, every decitions depend in what grandma say. From my mom side, She has greatgrand kids now, and the respect continues going generations after generations. It's insane how we are raise to respect them and to act depending of what they will think. It's respect of course, but it leads to what you see in the movie and how everybody has to act a certain way to please them and how that can leads to mental issues. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MY GRANDMA, but most of my insecurities come from that and the lack of filter that they have to comunicate and to express themselfs. That's what I loved the movie, It represents the latin family very well, even if we don't want to admit it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I RELATE! My mother had pictures done at her wedding and the photographer said "Now only immediate family".... nobody leaves the frame lmao!

Seeing your mom I can see why you're such a well-rounded individual! Y'all are so cute reacting together, love to see the family bonding!
You’re so kind. Thank you!
Just randomly got suggested this video by TH-cam (and the "We Don't Talk About Bruno" reaction vid) and I can say, I am half black/ African American and Filipino and I cannot stop ranting about how much I love this movie! Instantly when this movie started, you knew exactly where the culture and history was drawn from and the songs definitely made way for that. This movie definitely makes me feel at home even though I'm not Latino; but within the bloodline of being Filipino, we definitely have some of that influence and are extremely familiar with the big families.
Soooo good
The name Reggaeton actually comes from the word Reggae which is the ultimate root of the genre. It's a Latinized version of modern Reggae (a.k.a Dancehall). I think Louisa's song about pressure has a bit of Reggaeton influence in it.
Oh wow!
This was so fun!! Thank you, your mom is very fun and her comments were on point! Just one thing, actually, the voice of abuela is a Colombian actress call María Cecilia Botero, and she does the Spanish and English versions. Actually, the voices of Abuela, Pepa, Feliz, Julieta, and Mariano are both from the same actors in spanish and english (all of them Colombians).
Abuela is voiced by two people. María Cecilia Botero is the speaking voice and Olga Merediz is the singing voice.
@@Zophiela Oh, I didn't know that!! They have a very similar voice, I didn't notice the change, I really thought Maria Cecilia Botero was singing. Thank you!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@alejandraardilatellez1675 For the Spanish version, The singing voice was Janeth Waldman, Famous Colombian actress, host, singer, and comedian known for doing impressions of famous female singers. But Maria Cecilia Botero, famous Colombian television, theater and film actress, Called: “The Great Lady of Colombian Television” also did the speaking part of Abuela Alma in Spanish.
You and your mom are too cute. I love how musical she is. She picks up right away on the sounds. Also you have her entire face. 😂🤣 Twins
Also u need to check out the dance version of the choreography. They hired to map out the movements of the dancing
Thank you so much!
❤
Because most of Latin American cultures have been shaped by Catholicism, mothers and grandmothers are sacred (and we look at them as a symbol of Mary, pure, virginal -I know...-, and divine). I think it's a trait we share with Italians, and oh surprise, they are also Catholic.
In the Philippines too! Yes another Catholic invaded country LOL. Amen.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm from Algeria and I'm surprised how much Latin American cultures and North African cultures have in common... some of the beats, the dancing, the respect for the matriarch, even the shape of the Madrigal house with the opening in the middle!
because the Spanish brought African culture to the Colombian coast with African slaves. Colombia is a mixture of many rhythms, too many, we are very diverse in everything.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love to see reactions from people who FINNALY got their representations, and hearing that it has been made not just correctly but also amazingly.
My culture is Vroatian wwhich would be kind of put into the balkan cultural circle. But it all depends on where you were born. Mine are croatian bosnians from the Slavonija region and we are a christian family. Put it all together and you get a patriahal family where religion and staying with the family are number one. My family has a tradition for easter, which is coming soon, and that is collecting flowers on Palm Sunday and putting them in a bowl of watter. It says that if you wash your face in that watter first thing in the morning you will have a youthfull and beautiful face deep into your old age. We do it litteraly every year.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Im Brasil we give milk and coffee to the kids wake up as well, I know that Brazil is one of the most different but each counter is different and this is what makes the Latin family so wonderful, love the video.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
i even stopped putting milk in my coffee when i was seven ahahahahhaah i grew up hooked on it, not that i blame anyone in my family
My abuelo used to spoon feed me some out of his cup when I was like 4 and still living with my grandparents. When my parents brought me to the US I wasn't allowed to drink it.
Mamá was feeling the rhythm, that's a pure latina ! - You must be her first born child, you look a lot like her and she reminded me to a friend I adore, also gorg!. Greetings from Colombia.
By the way, Disney actually made a lot of research and got consultation even about the hair of each character in order to not affect hurt anyone around the globe, that's why a lot of people can relate even with the hair texture.
Wow that’s amazing!
And yes!! Thank you!
You were talking about each Latin country has its own and different background... but in Colombia we have an special situation becauses it is like if there are five different countries in Colombia; that was the reason it was so difficult to show them all in this movie; we have a lot of music genders, food, clothes, weathers, and people... they do did an excellent job trying to show that richness... we have people in aaaall tones of skin even in the same family (as the Madrigal); to me, Félix is a good representation of the people of the Coasts, Agustín shows the people from Bogotá and the center of the country, Mirabel and Luisa represents people from Santander and Boyacá, it seems Pepa represents people from Medellín and Eje Cafetero, Dolores represents Valle and Cauca, Antonio represents Chocó, Julieta reminds los Llanos Orientales, Isabela reminds me the Amazonas, Bruno reminds me Boyacá or Nariño and Abuela is a kind of representation of them all... they are all different, as each region of Colombia 🥰 I love my country.
PS: Colombiand in general do LOVE coffee, we usually have it always from kids to grow ups... but for kids (and most of us) we have just coffee with milk and we call it "coffee" or "perico" depends on the size of the cup... but the black coffee is just for grown ups and they have it before going to work, and a couple of hours later they have breakfast... we call the dark coffee "tinto" and people have it at any hour and very strong... and it is usually made with "panela" (a kind of a sweet made of sugar cane) I don't like having "tinto" but I love having "café" 🥰
Oh wow! So cool

Wow! Thank you for the intro to the variation in people of your beautiful country! Look at that, I learned even more from you about coffee too. Thanks! Gracias Amigo!
This song is my favourite too, Jacob. Your mom is so fun, when the accordion started, she started moving and clapping.
Also you look a lot like her, around the eyes especially.
Oh the touchy culture, I feel that'll get less due to covid. I am a touchy person too, I like to hug my friends and I miss it now.
Right! She’s the best!!
And who knows!!
I think it was a fabulous idea to include your mom. This song is my favourite as well, so many amazing elements and the story telling.
thank you so much!
Yes, Jacob's mom! I'm so happy someone is talking about the dancing and the cultural aspects of this song!!!🥺❤ I don't think I can describe what this first scene did to me, the movie was barely starting and I was already about crying, I could just feel how good this movie was going to be from the quality of the animation and all the tiny cultural details in this song.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your mamá is super cool!!, she moved her shoulders, hugged each other and everything, (Latin love), it was entertaining to have her give her opinion, thanks!. Yeap, Latin families are.... it's a lot of people!. We are, without exaggeration, about 50 people from my mom's family and the Abuelas are the pillars in both families (mom and dad), the ones who rule, who are respected and loved.
Amazing!) and thank you!
Mama Tuto in the house again! 👋 from Texas! Such an easy laugh & fantastic Latin insight! Thanks for sharing! Love y’alls interaction! Intriguing how this song intros all the characters but also sets the stage that not all things are as they appear to be.
exactly right!!!! so goood!!
My favorite cultural influence of my upbringing is that we were able to play unsupervised from a VERY early age. As young as 3 or 4 years of age, playing with just the kids in the neighboring streets. I know it's unheard-of in most countries, but I even cycled alone to school at the age of 8. It was amazing to feel so free. Before you react, my parents are super loving and this is/was normal in the Netherlands! Although it does depend on where you live 🇳🇱❤️
I hope it's still that way there. Here in the US when I was a kid in the 70's and 80's, this was normal too. We played and explored and just had to be home in time for dinner. It's really a beautiful, loving gift your family and neighbors gave you all.
Things have gradually changed over the decades. Kids stay way closer to home, and people are too mobile to really know their neighbors - unless you live in smaller, more rural areas. It makes me so sad, that kids have lost so much independence and freedom. You're so lucky to have this as a part of your culture. ❤️
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@lunacouer
That's true, it's also because there are more dangerous people out now, and parents are more protective. Sadly, I didn't play out side with my neighbors. I never learn to use the bicycle, I didn't run back home to dinner after playing with friends in the park. I would love to go back and live that, but I live in a dangerous place, my mother couldn't let me be free but I understand her decision. I'm gonna try to live in a good place in the future, so my future kid can play and be happy, doing the things I couldn't.
@@bv0804 ❤️
@@lunacouer good to hear that you recognize it ❤️
I do recognize the more protective parenting style. But that's mainly in our (relatively) big cities. But that's not just because of crime, it's also because of traffic and public transport etc. Luckily my son still gets to explore our neighborhood on its own. I won't lie, I'm glad when he's back home (safe with mom), but I cannot let my insecurities drive my parenting 😉
Just wanted to share that abuela's part is also a "sneak peak" of a song in the later part of the movie aside from "we don't talkabout bruno"... It's "dos oruguitas"
And in "all of you", the previous songs in the movie such as "the family madrigal", "what else can I do" is used aside from "we don't take about bruno". It's like a form of closure.
Also In the same song when bruno sings let it go, it breifly plays the "let it go" intro from frozen
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The madrigals feel like a big family on the surface but then I remember that I have 18 cousins on my dad’s side and 5 on my mom’s.

The chord progression Abuela sings in Family Madrigal is the exact theme reflected in her and her late husband’s love song, Dos Orugitas, which appears at the end of the film.
😮😮😮
Your mom is so awesome, I can tell you two are very close.

I’m Arab (middle eastern) and it’s so relatable in 18:17 , I have like 61+ (biological) cousins and some of them already have children!! and I know all of them + I meet most of them every Friday! and the house is always filled with a lot of people on Friday’s even if half them didn’t come!! I also agree with a lot of what ur mom said, which makes me realize how Arabs and Latinos cultures have in common, like the elders of the family or community/neighborhoods are always respected highly! and mother’s meal or grandmother’s meals always heals us! and that parents tend to be so close to you like they hug you, kiss you in the cheek, etc. I absolutely LOVED this video, keep up the good work!! Love from Kuwait 🇰🇼!!
Wowowowowowo
Your mom is adorable~
As for Cultural memories? Well, I'm Dutch-Indonesian and what I enjoy the most about is the connection forged through the food. How every family makes the same dish, but with a slightly different twist and taste to it. How there is always enough food to feed an army, or just in case you get the unexpected guests. Or how, whenever a new baby is born in our family, the older generations end up singing Indonesian lullaby's.
Or how the Nan's of the family can't resist pinching the cheeks of the littlest generations, to the point of being painful. (I never saw the draw in it, until I saw my nieces and now I just want to do the same thing....)
Aw that’s amazing!!!!!
And thank you!
I absolutely loved how your mom got the "hum?!" from Dolores. Latina certified. 💯💯
🙏🏼
I think there's a really common part of East Asian culture where parents (often mothers) cut up fruit and give it to their kids as a sign of encouragement, gratitude, or even apology. It's this sort of universal, "Hey, I'm thinking about you, have some oranges." It's so prevalent that people have even started making memes about it... and it makes me think about all the times my mom cut up fruit for me :')
:D
I’m Pennsylvania Dutch (German). Culturally, it’s probably the food. And in my family, an inexplicable love of pretzels. We also sometimes use Germanic sentence constructions - even though my great grandfather was the last one who grew up speaking Pennsylvania Dutch (a form of German). My grandfather spoke it and my Dad spoke German (from school)
I think you mean Deutsch? Dutch means the Netherlands. Deutsch is German...
@@Claudia-pm7wg You are correct - it is Pennsylvania Deutsch - but it's been Americanized to be called "Pennsylvania Dutch" and that's how it's commonly known.
@@heidimcgrew8307 How strange~ As a Dutch person, that is going to cause so much confusion.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@Claudia-pm7wg there are pockets in the Pennsylvania slate belt that go even further to call Pennsylvania Dutch "Dutchie."
I don't see my spanish side of the family very often. They've started making sure I'm always able to have pupusas or plantanos whenever I visit. My favorite memory has to be the times I passed out at midnight to Latin music and drunk adults. Especially the one Tia that always had a laugh that overpowered any music.
Pupusas for the win!!!!!!!
I so relate to this lol 😆!
The actress playing abuela is María Cecilia Botero. Disney made sure she were one that we Colombians loved.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Abuela's voice was actually played by 'María Cecilia Botero', a very famous Colombian actress, not Olga, but yeah, there are moments where her voice sound similar.
❤️❤️❤️
In my culture growing up we had pretty big families with a bunch of generations all living in one house (like the Madrigals) so I grew up in a house of 11 with grandparents and aunts and cousins and stuff all together. But also we had other family living next door or a block or two away in all different directions in the neighbourhood so it was a five minute stroll to get to any of their homes to visit or play with cousins and see uncles or something. On top of that we also have a culture of calling adults "aunty" and "uncle" out of respect (especially if they babysat you or let you play in their yards) which meant that a lot of kids called each other "cousin". It was wild sometimes to grow up and discover that someone you thought was blood-related to you was simply another neighbour lol. Just last year I found out that my cousin was never my real cousin even though he spent tons of time at our house and attended reunions, weddings, christening, funerals, etc. I can't unthink it now though. It's been almost 30 years so he's still my cousin as far as I'm concerned hahahah. Anyways it was very "it takes a village to raise a child" in my country and neighbours would take us out to go eat or shop or see the parades for Carnival. I'm from Trinidad and Tobago btw.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh I know the feelings of having a really big family. I am Asian, and compared to my Mom's family, my Father's side is the biggest! You could literally make a small village composed of my Father's family alone. I have a lot of uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins, even nephews and nieces. Sometimes when my father talk to someone or meeting someone in a gathering, he will told me and my sister that they're related to me from this great-great-great grandfather or something.
❤️❤️❤️ amazing
The voice actor of Mirabel (Stephanie Beatriz) is also in “in the heights” She’s also Rosa from Brooklyn 99 which is hilarious because Mirabel and Rosa are complete opposite characters😂
Oh wow!
I'm Jewish, and like the Latin cultures, we have a lot of familial culture, and that's something I love- every big event we get the whole family together, and while our family isn't quite as big as the families in Latin countries, having those days where we're just together is amazing. Oh yeah, and our holidays. They're all amazing.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
its interesting how you can hear all of the signiture of lin manuel's writing style, its so distinct and would pick it up so easily if you listen of alot of his music.
Right!!
We Filipinos also loves coffee, regardless of season (dry or wet season) we drink coffee and some family really do allowed their children to drink coffee. Our Family is also run by the Matriarch, altho our Lolo (Filipino term for Abuelo) still there, our Lola (Abuela) is the one who leads our family.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I enjoyed your reaction!
I'm from the Philippines and because we were colonized by Spain for 300+ years, they heavily influenced our culture. The americans kind of took over before we became truly independent. We have also been trading with china and other neighboring countries here for a long time so there's a lot of similarities and differences in us. Among the countries here, I think Philippines is the only one where majority of the people are catholic. Our language is a mixture of filipino, spanish, english, chinese and more, and so is our food. They say you can identify a filipino if their last name is spanish and their first name is american.
but we have various indigenous groups around the country that have different music and culture. The people from the north mostly use bamboo for their instruments while the ones from the south mostly use brass which is similar to our neighboring countries in southeast asia. Their sounds are so different but they all are very beautiful.
Oh wow!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow! That is super interesting. A wonderful mix of all those cultures. The food must be out only this world!

You two seem to have a great relationship! That's something precious 🙏💕 My mom has been gone since 2007 and we were best friends but I wish I had appreciated her more!
I only learned what my culture is a couple years ago by taking a 23andme test (I never knew who my dad was). Now I know I am most Scotish, English, and Irish, but my dad was apparently from Newfoundland, Canada, which has it's own very unique culture!
The musical Come From Away takes place in Newfoundland and it filled me with pride when I listened to the soundtrack! I also always wondered why I enjoyed Great Big Sea music so much as a teenager, now I know why! 🥰😍
Learning about your culture is such an enriching experience! I'm grateful to finally have the opportunity to know that stuff about myself! 🥰
Keep up the awesome videos! 🤩

My dad let me try coffee when I was 5. It was on a whim and he was more or less a single parent so who was going to complain? Our neighbors when I was a baby were from Venizuala and they taught my dad how to make what they said was the way it was done where they came from. Basically coffee brewed directly in milk. Literally just milk, saucepan, grounds. They brought the milk to a light simmer, waited for it to turn the shade of brown they liked and you strain it into a cup. That was what I got to try and...it left an impression. My dad didn't let drink coffee much until we were older after that but I've loved coffee ever since.
Oh that’s really cool
And sounds delicious
Oh my goodness we have to try this Jacob!!
@@ZulmaRestituto Heating milk brings out the sugar in it. I recommend trying it with less sugar than you'd usually add. If you like creamy coffee though, you'll love it.
You should definitely bring your mother back for more reactions her input and interactions with you are adorable and priceless #moremammatuto
Thanks!!!!! Lol
I cannot express how much this movie means to my family. My husband cried watching this movie. He is Puerto Rican but was raised in a white household and never got to experience the Latin coulter. This was representation he never knew he needed and he has enjoyed watching this with our daughters. All 50,000 times.
Also, I give my eldest (7) coffee milk. LOL!
Amazing!!!
Hi, Jacob and Jacob's lovely mom! Greetings from Mexico! I love that a lot of things about Colombia and Mexico are shared, certain aspects and characteristics. Having a pretty big family is pretty common most Latin families, even people that are not blood related are welcomed as part of the family. Loved the movies Encanto and Coco from Disney.
Thank you so much!
I grew up in France but have the double nationality French and Italian (my mom French side, my dad Italian side). I love a bunch about the Italian culture I was exposed to since I'm a kid and it helped me build the fact that I really think myself as French AND Italian even though I grew up in France. I absolutely love all the Italian receipe my grandma and my dad taught me and know I love to cook Italian for my loved ones and my friends who think that Italian gastronomy is just cook pasta and add tomato sauce. I think it also made me more open-minded in regards of immigration. I mean, my grandparents left Italy to live in France, some of their siblings left Italy to go to Australia so I also have family there and today, I myself live in Canada. I just love how multi-cultural my childhood has been and it's a huge part of who I am today.
Love that!!!!
Olga and Stephanie were both in “In The Heights” and they were both amazing in that as well!
Soo cool
What amazed me about this movie is how it capture the attention not only the kids but adults too. Que viva Colombia

Cumbia is a style of Latin music that originated in Colombia and became popular throughout South America, Central America, and the United States. Traditional cumbia music uses a blend of African, Indigenous rhythms and European styles and uses musical instruments such as drums, flutes, maracas, and accordion (sometimes) depending on which country.

Olga Merediz originated the role of Abuela Claudia in the Broadway production of In the Heights (2008-2011). She was nominated for a Tony Award. I believe she was the only Broadway actor to reprise her role in the movie. Video of Merediz performing "Paciencia y Fe" on Broadway: th-cam.com/video/Lhg32IlbJmk/w-d-xo.html. It's worth the watch.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I recognized Olga’s voice right away. Queen behavior, she’s amazing and will always be Abuela Claudia to me.
Your mom was absolutely right when she said that the Latin culture (outside Europe) resembles the Mediterranian way, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, including the Balkans, thus Macedonia (where I am from). I have the same relationship with my mother, as we listen to music together and talk about it. This was amazing and so heartfelt.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
That moment when you know you have family you have never even met, that's how many members there are. 😭

Glad i'm not the only one who likes "The family Madrigal" most, ofc the other songs are amazing too but that one is always in my head! Great reaction video!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love this commentary! As someone of Nigerian (Yoruba) heritage, I find it really cool how many similarities there are with many Latin American cultures. Huge families (my mom has 6 siblings with their own children), the respect for matriarchs, also the similarities in the percussion is something I’ve always noticed but never had the knowledge to describe properly, so I appreciated hearing this perspective on it. Amazing video, can’t wait to watch the next one!
Soo cool thanks!
Well, actually Colombia's percussion comes from African influences, due the black slavery that eventually arrived to latam during colonial era (...) , as a Colombian I have to admit that many of our music genres have deep roots in African influences and its rythms.
you guys are adorable, the way you bounce around thoughts is just so cute and thoughtful!!
as for cultural memories, well i'm from Bahrain (not sure if anyone will even know where that is but anywayy-) and my favourite childhood memories always include some kind of family gathering.. we have quite a big family, my dad is 1 of 11 siblings and my mom is 1 of 9 so there's always been a lot of people (i just remember having to make a family tree illustration, it was horrifying. every time.) and we mostly used to do, dad's side gathering on Thursday's (and back then, every day of the week because we had an apartment in the house) and for my mom's side, on Friday's half of the family would go from morning to night, while on Saturday's everyone went, it was to accommodate everyone that lived farther haha, and it usually was like you arrive whenever (because so many people worked Saturdays. Oh and I forgot to mention that our weekends are friday, saturday!!) and leave whenever as well but everyone went home slightly earlier because we had school/work the next day.
I miss Saturday lunch sooo much but since COVID started up everything has been shaken up a bit though I still see everyone almost as regularly, we are all very lucky that everyone lives in the same country and quite close together as well (i mean the country is tiny but the traffic.. the amount of shit i've heard muttered in the car HAHAH), I mean i could walk right now to my cousin's house and it would take maybe 5 minutes.
Also, "religious" gatherings like Eid really were the spice in my childhood, waking up super early and wearing new clothes, visiting my great grandparents and every year, the amount of "do you know who i am?" questions would come, every year I still did not know them.. it did get more embarrassing as I got older hahah and then going to my mom's side on the first day, having lunch there + the customary eid day afternoon nap with the lights off and the children clashing up the place in the basement and ordering dinner (the amount of people throwing up after fasting for a month and then eating more than they could handle.. way too many and nobody learns) from this one local restaurant literally since I remember. The second day is at my dad's side and we mostly end up playing games like uno and monopoly, the fights were a highlight in my childhood, they still happen lmao. The third day is just whoever is free you meet up with and mostly just lie around or if you're feeling adventurous, maybe go shopping. And this is all just my family, everyone does it differently!!
[Side story; my 6 year old cousin was once dropped off at my other cousins house and she went in the main gate so my uncle drove off, i'm not sure what happened but she didn't go in the house (i think she couldn't get the door to open or something) but she took the turn out of the corner and decided it wasn't the right way, traced her way back and walked the opposite way. Eventually, she got to like 2 minutes to my grandparents' house and my aunt got a call asking if she was my cousin's mother and it turned out that this woman saw her walking next to the mosque (where it's really busy and there's so many cars) and asked her if she knew her mom's number. But anyway, her dad picked her up near this mosque, 2 minutes away from my grandma's house. My grandparents still don't know about this occurrence (it happened like mid 2020), we would never hear the end of it if they did, but by the end of the week all the kids memorised 2 phone numbers from the family and their address, just in case. Also, anyone with a car was taught to wait outside until someone in the house confirms that they've made it inside hahah.]
Wow! Such great memories!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing!
Your mom is gorgeous and she's got a beautiful energy
Thank you!!
You're both so sweet. I love you both, and when you hug your mom after saying she loves that touchy thing, my heart melted♥️♥️
❤️❤️❤️
One thing I love about my Swedish culture is you leave strangers alone, respect for privacy is very important, but you do whatever you can for your friends. A Swedish friend is a friend for life... if you can get there. :P
I love how you get to 9 minutes and they aren't even outside yet
Lollll
LMM did a great job on researching and executing writing the songs. Really well done
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
instead of having a little amount of coffee and lots of milk, my mom would give me very little tea with lots of milk. Also she has a million remedies for literally anything HAHAh
Oh cool!!! Legit
The liveliness you put into your videos is so nice, I also get to learn more about different cultures reading the comments too! Great job!!!
Thank you!!!
I love listening to your mum's views on these family issues. She's great. Bring her along on another reaction. 🥰
❤️❤️
Both my parents is from Guatemala! Im American born but i do remember going to the country to meet family when i was young. I remember seeing big green mountains not to far from where i lived and banana trees! So frustrating when people just assume im mexican bc im hispanic. I ain't dying till Disney makes a movie set in Guatemala!!! I *really* want to learn more about my culture but idk how to, well, at least i can still speak spanish lol :D
Amazing!!!)
This is the second video from your channel that I have watched (the first one being the Dos Oruguitas reaction one with your mom), and I love the way both of you analyze details from the culture to the music and even the animation. 💕
Thank you! Hope you see you in the channel more
I’m salvadorian and I remember drinking café con pan before going to school and because of our culture I didn’t see this as a weird thing to do, but when I came to CA and many of my friends ask their parents if they could drink Starbucks I was like “wow”. Love your mom and how she talks about our culture. Definitely a new subscriber ♥️
lol soo good!!!
thank you so much Meilyn!
I love this song! what makes it better is that mirabela has a trinket for each family member on her dress!! like a flowers for isabella, herbs for her mom, rainbows for pepa- etc.
Oh wow!
I love how they do the traditional fluid of the skirts and steps, here and with Rosalind in Bruno.
:)
I loved how mama was just groovin!
Legit
Hi! I am actually portuguese and it's funny, because when I went on an exchange program to Finland everyone though it was so odd that we would be so touchy with everyone, even complete strangers!
Guess Latinos are just pretty huggable people :)
❤️❤️
I really like seeing this from the perspective of someone who is from similar cultures as Colombia or from Colombia
❤️❤️
I haven’t been to your channel in a while and I’m so happy to see how big your channel has grown since then
Thanks so much Astro!
Your mom really nailed it about Colombian cumbia jajaja. Thanks for reacting to this song, it's my favorite Encanto's song and as a colombian I appreciate it. For those who doesn't know it, this song is a really good mix of some of the most joyful rithms we have in Colombia: Cumbia (our national music which has a lot of African and indigenous roots), Vallenato (tradicional music from the Caribbean cost of Colombia), Mapalé (music created by Africans when they were brought here as slaves), and the fact that Mirabel sings it is a tribute the Bullerengue singers (Bullerengue would be the other rithm, also big afro influences). If you want to listen to those rithms I leave some links to videoclips:

th-cam.com/video/xqA29k-ttrQ/w-d-xo.html (a classic)

Your mom is so adorable and loving! So much fun seeing her enjoy watching and dancing to Latin animated musical movie. You're also very handsome =D
You’re very kind
Awwww you and your mom is so cute. You're so happy explaining it to her
Love her!
Well I am Colombian, specifically from the northern coast (Barranquilla, Atlántico) and some of my favorite cultural memories are from Christmas time; in Colombia we go all out for Christmas, it starts at December 7th (día de las velitas) and ends in January 6th (día de reyes).
Anyway, the 9 days before Christmas eve (so starting December 16th) we have la novena. They are little reunions were we would read some prayers, los gozos and then sing some villancicos, and at the end they would give the kids typical Christmas food (buñuelos, natillas, galleta navideña, etc).
It was also tradition to go to the novena in all the houses of the block (the neighbors would make it at different hours so we could go to every single one) and on Christmas eve if you went to every novena they would give you a present. Also at 12 am in Christmas eve, which means the beginning of Christmas day we would put baby Jesus in the pesebre because he was born.
Pd: I'm sorry it's so long, but is hard to explain such a beautiful tradition in few words🥰. Te quiero Colombia 🇨🇴
Fun fact: I'm almost sure that the part were they show the story of Abuela Alma and Abuelo Pedro, they met una noche de velitas. That day we light candles and put them around the house with farolitos. And in my family we have an extra tradition, that everytime you put a candle you say something you are grateful for.
The candles are supposed to guide/light the way, for the Virgen Mary and the Holy Spirit to the house
so coool!!
Your mom is stunning and doesn't look old enough to be your mom!
You’re so kind!
They actually filmed the actors and proffecional dancers doing all the moves for the animators (with and without skirts).
Wow
Yepyep. Even professionals use references
Not only was the grandma in In the Heights but also Mirabel (Stephanie Beatriz) and Lin Manuel Miranda who was one of the main writers/composers for the songs in Encanto are also in it.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
