El Coqui Nostálgico, sings about a painful ecological truth. The Coquí, driven by the heat of global warming, are migrating to cooler climates as the rising seas and coastal devastation erode their ancestral homes. Soon, this destruction will leave us with only a fragile memory of their twilight song.

For many in the diaspora, the Coquí's struggle mirrors our own. We feel like creatures displaced by forces beyond our control, losing our spiritual home to climate change. We hold onto the dream of return, a mythic, idealized place—a past where we were whole and truly belonged.
