Ivelisse del Carmen – “Mi Sangre Baila”

Puerto Rican artist Ivelisse del Carmen returns with her new single Mi Sangre Baila, a release rooted in her lived experience as part of the diaspora after spending more than twenty years abroad. That realization sits at the center of this song and gives it a clear sense of purpose without leaning on nostalgia or romantic ideas about the past.

The track was inspired by Manny Vega’s mosaic artwork Bomba Celestial, and that influence shows up in how the song brings together bomba and plena alongside contemporary production choices, and moving between Spanish and English, the song reflects the reality of holding more than one cultural space at once, especially when distance reshapes identity. There is also a focus on inherited history, with references to sugarcane and labor pointing back to stories that still shape the present.

Mi Sangre Baila follows earlier releases from 2025 including An Ocean in Between, Las Mariposas, and Sin Filtro, and it fits naturally into the wider ideas she has been exploring in her ongoing creative work. Listening to this single makes it clear that her writing continues to grow alongside.
