"Latin music legend Tito Puente was the composer of "Oye Como Va", which Carlos Santana, the son of a Mexican mariachi violinist, recorded with his band in 1970. Lyrics and translation: Oye Como Va (Hey, how's it goin'?) Mi ritmo, bueno pa' gozar, mulata. (My rhythm is good for partying, babe.) Note: the literal translation of "mulata" is "dark-skinned girl", however, it's basically a slang for "hot chick"."

Fwiw, I believe that "mulata" is the same as the English word "mulatto" {a person of who has one Black birth parent & one Whie birth parent}
