Here’s How the Latino Community is Paying Tribute to Prince
There are few artists whose life and legacy produce a global outpouring of grief like Prince. Today, the iconic pop star died at the age of 57, after struggling with flu-like symptoms over the past few weeks. We’ll remember him for his baroque sense of style, his inimitable mastery of psychedelic rock and funk, and his powerful, ever-jubilant spirit. Prince touched the lives of countless Latino creatives, and his influence transcends the music community, reaching into the worlds of fashion and art. He worked with dozens of Latinos, including the famed drummer Sheila E., ex-wife and former bandleader Mayte Garcia, and vocalist Bria Valente. Here’s how the Latino community is grieving the loss of a music legend.
Long live the king.

Chingao. Murió Prince. Parece que cada día amanecer contento dura menos. Que el espíritu rompa las reglas. Pa seguir contentos y a darle.

"Artist" & "Genius" are thrown around carelessly these days. Prince Rogers Nelson was an actual artist & a legit genius. I'm so sad#RIP

Saw Prince in concert more than any other artist. Soundtrack to my generation. 'When Doves Cry' was on every mixtape I ever made..#Icon

Only now do we know what it sounds like When Doves Cry — the absence of music from loss of The Artist. RIP Prince (1958-2016)

I wasnt much a fan of his music but how Prince dealt with sheeple was the purple and gold standard.
