STEFA* imbues “3COSAS!” with a joyful set of interlocking and mutually supporting rhythms. All to deliver a song about feeling good and leaning into a feeling of possibilities of personal liberation and a spirit of being ungovernable. The lyric “when I’m happy, when I’m full of joy, they can’t control me” sums up the mood of the song. The claps, the exuberant percussion and the constantly cycling pulse of an uplifting bass line lend the song an irresistible quality that perfectly complements the vocalist’s vital and fortifying words that celebrate a healthy sense of self that is rooted in encouraging a nurturing sense of self among all people. Fans of Y La Bamba and Tune-Yards will readily find themselves keying into the flow of what STEFA* is creating.
