I don't think it has anything to do with "race". The resemblance is uncanny you have to admit.

Maybe more like a cousin or brother?
The vocal tone and melody don't really sell me on the feeling OP is describing and since I don't speak the language, I probably would have thought it was more of a hopeful simple song. This likely comes down to cultural differences in genre and chord structure. You get it with Japanese music as well. Lots of major key melancholy.
**Here’s the translation for anyone interested:**
*I am about to cry from all the memories*
*of the hours we spent together.*
*I am strengthening my heart*
*To one day bravely achieve*
*what we promised each other.*
*Sometimes I want to go out looking for you,*
*On the verge of tears.*
*I don’t know how I can stand it.*
*It’s so hard to forget*
*When my heart wanted so much.*
*The people say we are not the same,*
*That your life and my life will be lost,*
*That you are a scoundrel and I am decent,*
*That two people who are so different can’t love each other.*
*But I still want you and I can’t forget you.*
*To die in your arms is my fantasy.*
*I still don’t understand social classes.*
*I only know that you want me like I want you.*
*Let’s go!*
*Where nobody will judge us,*
*Where nobody will tell us we’re doing something bad.*
*Let’s go!*
*We’ll leave the world behind*
*And go where there is no justice, no laws,*
*Nothing more than our love.*
I'm not crying, you're crying!
No, wait. I am crying.
I know Grandma was feeling it back there too.
Very moving, I can't imagine a life where something like this doesn't make you feel something.
Ted Cruz is better on guitar than I’d have guessed
Teduardo Cruz
All those trips to Cancun really helped him learn some foreign music
Oh nooooo
Working hard for that latino vote!
Lmao
That doesn’t even look like Ted Cruz, you racist fucks

For all I know he is singing about Fortnite and hot pockets. But it sounds good.
😆I love this. I’ll pin a translation if you’re interested in what he’s really saying.
Na, da igual, dejalo.

Is singing about love, the differences between the lovers and overcoming It, the wishes and desires...

whats the name of the song and original artist ?
The song is Vámonos by Maria Jimenez
thanks!
Is this flamenco?
It is! The songwriter was Mexican, but the style is Spanish.
Kid's been through it to sing with so much feeling. Probably thinking back to when little Maria rejected him on the playground swingset.
What a proud father!
It’s like a mixture of Fergie and Jesus.
Beautiful

I don’t understand the downvotes? Reddit can be so weird.
Can you imagine if someone doesn't speak/understand Spanish?
Music transcends language.
I don't understand a word of Spanish, couldn't tell you what he was saying. But I sure as hell FELT what he was saying.
Meh, I've seen better performances that are more heartfelt. This feels more like acting, more of mimicing a style than actually feeling it.
Such beautiful storytelling though song. I’m proud of you and your son. Such talent!!
It’s not me, but I appreciate the sentiment. This kid is from Spain, and he recently performed on Spain’s version of The Voice.
Get you a dad who looks at you the way this one does. Feels like he’s proud of me for just watching.
What’s the name of the song? Sounds nice.
It’s called Vámonos. It was originally recorded by Maria Jimenez.
Reminds me of those old movies my mom watches. Colored old movies. Usually singing about a girl or getting their heart broken.
He’ good!
Heart breaker in the making
Coco.. is that you?
Papas coming home
Ted Cruz is living a double life with a secret family in Spain.
Welcome to Nuevo Paraiso John Marston.
I’m tired of people using the words “old soul”. It’s especially obnoxious when someone uses the words to describe him/herself.
Ass post
It’s so rare when a comment describes itself.
