and Spanish pop icon Alaska, Torreblanca seizes “Maricón” as an opportunity to become the voice of empowerment he desperately craved in his younger days. “I’m not a second-class citizen / I’m an aurora borealis / and I’m not going to repress it,” he proclaims, with all the glee of a man unburdened.
