"TikTok viral songs need to be studied in laboratories because the way they engrain themselves into your head and never leave is unprecedented. And as usual, the latest is an absolute fever dream song that’s come from nowhere and has creators and FYP scrollers in a vice grip chokehold. Everyone can’t stop singing and dancing along, bellowing out either “my name is Chicky”, “my name is Cha Cha”, “My name is Boom Boom” or “My name is Lya-Lya”. But where the hell did this song come from? Is it a real banger? Here’s where the viral TikTok “My name is Chicky” song is from originally and who sings it.

It’s a children’s song by a Russian group called D Billions

Okay, so the song is actually called My Name Is and is a children’s song by a band called D Billions – think Baby Shark vibes, but only slightly less annoying. The group hail from Moscow in Russia, and started their channel in 2019. Their biggest video is one called Shake Shake Your Body Clap Clap Cha Cha Cha, which only stars our king Cha Cha. It has over 2 billion views on YouTube.”…

The Disney Movie Encanto Reflects How People In Colombia, South America Have A Wide Range Of Skin Colors & Hair Textures (videos & article excerpts)

DisneyMusicVEVO, Dec 2, 2021

[...]

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto” tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—every child except one, Mirabel (voice of Stephanie Beatriz). But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope.

Latinx embrace representation shown in Disney’s 'Encanto'

Amalia Medina, January 20, 2022
"Disney’s latest animated feature film, “Encanto,” was released in theaters on Nov. 24, 2021, and it came to Disney+ on Dec. 24, 2021, yet the hype around the film has not subdued yet, despite it being mid-January. And there’s a reason why.

The movie tells the story of the Madrigal family as they navigate their special powers, such as incredible hearing, shape-shifting and talking to animals. As the movie unfolds, the family is forced to navigate their relationships with each other and mend their broken bonds. The familial theme can relate to any family, but it is especially resonating with Latinx, particularly Colombians, as the movie is set in Colombia.

The Madrigals are a mestiza, or mixed-race, Colombian family. Each family member has different skin tones, hair types and features, and one branch of the family is Afro-Latino, a group that is even more underrepresented in media than non-Black Latinos.

Colombians and Latinx alike are feeling represented like never before. Across the internet, people are sharing how they feel represented: embracing their noses, curls and skin tones.

“I literally look like (Isabela Madrigal),” one Twitter user said. “I’m gonna watch ‘Encanto’ for the actual representation that my childhood self did not have.” ”…

Encanto is a gorgeous ode to Latinos that shines with color and prowess

By Amanda Giampaglia, December 6, 2021

“Encanto” is Disney’s latest — and 60th — animated feature, and I was nothing short of amazed at the artistry in this new film.

[…]

This story is told by a cast of Latino actors, and the amount of respect for the Latino culture is felt throughout the entire film..

[…]

The characters in this film represent the diverse skin colors that range from light to dark and hair textures from straight to kinky curls that can be found within the Latino community. This brings in a more accurate representation of a group of people who have not been given the representation that they so deserve.”….

Encanto Review: The Movie That Reminds Us That Latinos Come in All Shades of Brown!
"ENCANTO REVIEW
In “Encanto”, a Latino family in Colombia acquire magical powers after surviving a traumatic experience.  All the members of the family have powers in the casita (house) except Mirabel, who longs for powers like her siblings who can manipulate the weather or plants.  When the casita starts to show cracks, Mirabel goes on an adventure to save their family home despite naysayers like her Abuela (grandmother) who think that Mirabel is being eccentric like her son Bruno, a long lost family member. 

The characters all have different shades of brown much like Colombia itself.  It’s not just the brown skin tones but the variety of different hair textures and nose shapes that makes this film diverse, in fact many children will be able to spot characters like themselves in the movie.  Mirabel, Bruno, Luisa, Antonio, and Isabella all have different skin tones but still are members of the same family and in some cases they are blood siblings. This movie reminds us that the characters in “Encanto” ARE what Latinos look like. The movie shows that a family can represent every color and it makes sense since Latin American countries have Black and Indigenous people too.”…

Encanto has shown us that every skin tone is beautiful

Huda A.Ghaffar, Jan 24, 2022
"Back in the day when brown skin tones were considered as just “one tone” kinda thing in animations including Disney, thinking about seeing different skin tones representation on-screen was just too far-fetched. If they did show different tones, it was generally slightly darker for men than women.

It's not just animations, but media, in general, that makes us think that a light skin tone reflects beauty. This stereotype especially among Latino, African and South Asian women was and still have been heavily marketed and pushed by our cosmetic industry and media houses.

[…]

Seeing Afro-Latino representation in Disney’s Encanto was such a joyful experience for me. Although being a South Asian, I can’t relate to their struggles, all I know is that representation matters. Unlike previous Disney movies, where all had people of color had almost the same skin tone, the Madrigals, like an actual real family, had people with diverse skin tones and textures. And every single one of them was portrayed beautifully. The cutest character in the family without any doubt is Antonio. But one thing that stands out the most to me is the beauty of Isabela Madrigal. I love how Isabela, who has a darker skin tone than her sisters, is considered to be the most graceful girl in town. They did not make her light-skinned to reflect how beautiful she is. I hope movies like Encanto will show our little girls that they are beautiful just the way they are.

Enca[n]to, without any doubt, is one of the finest movies Disney has ever produced. The graphics, the animations, the music and choreography, the characters’ arc, and the portrayal of feminine beauty in all shapes, sizes, hair and skin tones are simply astounding. …The real credit goes to the creators and animators who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes and fought for bringing this beautiful diversity on screen. They are the ones who should be celebrated."...

"Six years after the release of the hit Broadway musical Hamilton, Netflix premiered Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first animated film, Vivo.

But everyone can agree that the cast members give a stellar performance, including 13-year-old breakout star Ynairaly Simo, who plays Gabi.

In the animated musical drama, Lin-Manuel stars as a beloved kinkajou named Vivo but his somewhat misguided sidekick, Gabi, manages to steal the show. Since the film’s premiere, fans are dying to know more about the talented young actress. Here’s what we know about Vivo’s Ynairaly Simo.

...Ynairaly Simo (Gabi)

While this cast is also full of stars in both the acting and musical world, we have a newcomer here as well. Gabi, the lovable partner to Vivo throughout the entirety of Vivo, is played by Ynairaly Simo, a young actress who’s just starting to make her mark.

While she did have a small role in a TV series titled Creative Galaxy back in 2014 where she played herself, this is her first major role in the Hollywood world. And hopefully, after playing Gabi in Vivo, we’ll be seeing a lot more of her soon."
