Discover the story of the song > Plástico – Rubén Blades

The song talks about a plastic couple (a superficial and materialistic man and his partner) who only care about appearances and status. They teach their child to avoid playing with kids of different races, and they are drowning in debt to maintain their social status. The lyrics suggest that it is important to not be fooled by appearances and material things, and to focus on what really matters, like working hard and being proud of one's heritage. The song ends with a call for unity among Latin American countries.
