The halftime of this 2020 Super Bowl will forever be remembered for the presence and strength of Latino art and culture. And all this thanks, among other things, to two hurricanes called Jennifer Lopez and Shakira who left their skin on one of the most important stages in the world.

But behind that powerful show and heart-stopping choreography, there are hidden very deep messages that both artists wanted to send in a subtle but direct way.

During the performance in which Emme, the daughter of JLo and Marc Anthony, participated and shone, the stage was filled with children dancing in cage-shaped structures. A possible nod to the thousands of little ones who live trapped on the border without being able to advance in search of a better future. This is how Erin Vanderhoof from Vanity Fair magazine interpreted it.

Sense has a lot. The same thing happened with the display of the huge Puerto Rican flag worn by Jen. A moment to which Ricky Martin reacted excitedly from his home with a sob of pride and emotion, as he shared on his networks. The island of Enchantment lives critical moments and this gesture is, once again, the unconditional support of the Diva of the Bronx to her land.

The traditional African-American and Latin dances such as the champeta or the salsa de Cali that both women performed in their respective shows highlighted the great little details of a culture that is more alive than ever. Few know these styles, but their performance on stage was a show of pride and a full-blown reminder to keep them more alive than ever and never to decay.

The empowerment of women was more than represented by these two whirlwinds. With their complicit gestures and interventions, one in the performance of the other, they ended the rumors of rivalry, competition, much less the divas duel that was being talked about. Together they closed with a movement of the hips that, far from highlighting sensuality or sexuality as has been said, stressed that the union always makes force.

The Spaniard said he was present more than ever at a Super Bowl. In fact, “Ojos thus”, by the Colombian, has been the first song in this language performed by a Latino in this very important world event. A significant gesture from Shakira that once again boasted of our mother tongue.

A culture that was also represented in style with the presence of Latin artists such as J Balvin, Bad Bunny and a Maluma, the latter not in person but through his great song, "Blackmail". We can only thank these two great artists and women who left the pavilion very high. That pride!
