>>19145166"Wepa" is a Latin American slang exclamation used to express joy, excitement, and congratulations, similar to the English "Oh yeah!" or "Wow!". It is particularly associated with Puerto Rican culture, where it can also mean "cool," "go for it," or be used as a greeting, and is a strong expression of pride. The term gained significant popularity in Puerto Rico from the 1974 song "El Jolgorio (Wepa Wepa Wepa)" by salsa musician Alfonso Vélez.
