“Bambi” by Caly Grande is a mesmerizing Afro-Latina track that masterfully intertwines the rich
textures of Italian and Mexican strings, evoking the haunting allure of a cartel soundtrack. This
track is more than just a musical experience; it’s a powerful narrative that delves into the
struggles and triumphs of women in traditional African homes.
The character of Bambi stands as a symbol of defiance and resilience, representing all women
who refuse to be confined by societal expectations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Bambi’s
journey—a woman who has spent her life supporting others, clapping for the men who dominate
the stage, but now, she’s ready to take the spotlight for herself.
The song opens with a gripping portrayal of Bambi’s inner turmoil, as she navigates the
expectations placed upon her, singing in both English and Ewe: “Been clapping and clapping for
niggas that are running the scale... Menya be ny3 fe game le dodoge.” The dual-language
delivery adds layers to the track, grounding it in its African roots while reaching out to a global
audience.

In this journey of life all I learnt
Is a flood of joy in the end
