Latin singer Nezza performed a 90-second Spanish rendition of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at Dodger Stadium, sparking discussions around immigrant representation. Despite team representatives suggesting otherwise, Nezza felt compelled to perform for the filled stands of Latino families. After the performance, she faced backlash, reportedly from Dodgers staff, although the team later denied any negative consequences, stating they welcomed her back. Her rendition, 'El Pendón Estrellado,' is the official translation commissioned in 1945, symbolizing cultural pride and community support amid current socio-political challenges.
This is my moment to show everyone that I am with them that we have a voice and with everything that's happening it's not OK, I'm super proud that I did it.
We are going to do the song in English today, so I'm not sure if that wasn't transferred or if that wasn't relayed.
There were no consequences or hard feelings from the Dodgers regarding her performance; she was not asked to leave.
The Spanish-language version Nezza sang, 'El Pendón Estrellado,' is the official translation of the national anthem.
