A beautiful song Angelitos Negra performed by Aertha Kitt (1963) could be traced from Toña la Negra (1942 - https://youtu.be/ddjAYdR9PdM ) to, if you're more into EDM, Nikos Kaponis remix (
https://youtu.be/0fOnwulsjns )
Lyrics goes like:
Although the Virgin is white
Paint black little angels
Cause they go to heaven too
Who's performance moves you more Aerthas or Toña?
Full English translation:
****
Painter born in my country
With a foreign paintbrush
Painter who follows the course
Of so many old painters
Although the Virgin is white
Paint black little angels
Cause they go to heaven too
All the good black kids
Painter, if you paint with love
Why do you despise their color?
If you know that in heaven
God loves them too
Painter of saints in the bedroom
If you have a soul in your body
Why have you in painting your paintings
Forgotten black people
Whenever you paint churches
You paint beautiful angels
But you never remembered
To paint a black angel
