¿Dónde Jugarán Las Niñas? is a 1997 album by the Mexican rock band Molotov. On a superficial reading, its title, which translates literally as "Where Will The Little Girls Play?" parodies the album ¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños? ("Where Will The Kids Play?") by Maná. There are different layers of meaning to Molotov's title, however since, in this particular context, "niñas" may be understand as "prostitutes". To underscore this aspect, the cover features a young woman's legs seductively displayed in school uniform. Indeed, the cover resulted in a lawsuit from a Catholic school who claimed that the school uniform worn by the woman on the cover was an exact match to their own uniform, but it's the exact model for Mexican official State Schools Uniform, which means the girl is up to 18 years old.

Rapping in both Spanish and English, the band puts together an explosive blend of turntable scratches, thick bass lines, and flamenco guitar riffs. Initially misinterpreted as a slur against homosexuals, "Puto (Coward)" actually makes fun of anyone not willing to stand up for himself. With its chanted lyrics and anti-authority theme, "Gimme Tha Power" is an anthem for disenfranchised people everywhere.
