Read while listening to the official Delli Libre Soundtrack and don’t at all be afraid to happily surrender when that hip-swaying temptation becomes all too much.
Delli Libre was the deserved-beyond-words celebration of my mumma. A party that could be seen as fifty years in the making; having faced the turbulence and trying times, having gone through the self-discovery, having been the absolute girlboss (in so many aspects), having given so much of her energy to others, having soared, having received the triumphs… and celebrating it all in a dizzying whirlwind of colour, light and Afro Cuban All Stars-heavy beats.
Inspired by our trip to Cuba three months prior to party it up for her actual birthday (Miss ‘I don’t want a party; I want us all to celebrate in Havana instead’ must’ve caught a case of #fomo while abroad. Not complaining.), our Hills backyard was transformed in a way only my Martha Stewart mother could pull off. It shone with a ‘fifty and friggin’ fabulous’ vibe, complete with Salsa lessons on the deck, fedoras lining the walls, extremely drinkable margaritas, and dancing to the wee hours.
Mumma, I love you.
And, let’s do this again.
