"Desencabulada" is a standout track from Luísa Maita's album Lero-Lero. The title can be roughly translated as "liberated" or "uninhibited," and the lyrics speak of a woman who is carefree and empowered, with a sense of independence and pride in her own self-expression. “It happened at a baile funk dance / She got home late at night / So bold, almost naked / She was still whistling a tune.”
