Tocororo (album)

Tocororo is the second studio album by the Dominican singer-songwriter, Rita Indiana. Released in 2010, the album marks a shift in Indiana's musical style, incorporating elements of electronic music, merengue, and other Caribbean rhythms alongside socially conscious lyrics.

The album's title, "Tocororo," refers to the Cuban national bird, also known as the Cuban trogon (Priotelus temnurus). The bird is known for its vibrant plumage featuring the colors of the Cuban flag: red, white, and blue. The title alludes to themes of national identity, cultural heritage, and perhaps a commentary on Cuban socio-political realities.

Tocororo received critical acclaim for its innovative sound, blending traditional Dominican music with modern electronic elements. The album's lyrical content often addresses themes of immigration, sexuality, and Dominican culture. Key tracks from the album include "La Hora de Volver" and "El Juidero." The album is considered a significant work in Rita Indiana's discography and an important contribution to contemporary Latin American music.
