/Sounds like "reh" (as in "red") + "pahr" (as in "park") + "TEH" (as in "ten") + "roh" (as in "row")/
In Cuba, someone from the reparto movement: flashy style, street attitude, and deep connection to urban neighborhood music. Can be worn as a badge of pride or used as a dig at bad taste, depending on who's saying it.
“That repartero showed up with gold teeth and everything.”
“Reparteras have their own style, you can't copy that.”

Llunku
A sycophant or bootlicker who gets close to power through flattery and servility. From the Quechua word "llunku" meaning groveling or subservient, this term is deeply embedded in Bolivian political and workplace culture, always with a heavy negative charge. The llunku will say anything to stay in good graces with whoever is in charge.
