La Piragua de Guillermo Cubillos

This video tells the story of Jose Benito Barros and the creation of "La Piragua de Guillermo Cubillos" a popular song that my father used to sing to me while I was a child. Sorry that the video is in Spanish but I couldn't find any other one in English. I suppose La Piragua has become a sort of Latin American anthem that illustrates its centuries of abandoned masses, the legacy of slavery, inequality and broken dreams. Let's shout out this one for Latin America, the forgotten continent.
