Aldara Zarraoa/WireImage; Gilbert Flores/Variety Carlos Santana and Becky G want the world to understand the harsh realities of ICE raids with new song “Mi Gran Amor.”
“I think there’s power in using music to humanize conversations that people too often reduce to politics. Behind every headline are real families and real sacrifices,” Becky G tells Rolling Stone. “I hope this song can make even one person feel seen and inspire more compassion.”
On the rock-inspired track, the Mexican American musicians’ paint the horror stories that hard-working immigrants in the U.S. face under the recent immigration crackdowns. “Migra, mi gran amor se fue por culpa de la migra,” Becky G sings, referring to the Spanish term for immigration officers, as Santana plays masterful riffs.
