Hey, if anyone is looking for latin american revolutionary music i would defenetely recommend these:
Victor Jara (chilean communist murdered by pinochet)
Quilapayun (latin american folk)
Paco Ibañez (spanich communist folk)
Leon Gieco (argentine rock/folk)

\"Everything for everyone and nothing for ourselves\"
Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (EZLN)
Cafe tacuba is also very traditional in its latin american sounds! they are my fav. band. I would recomend:
-Flores de color de la mentira
-tropico de cancer
-el fin de la infancia
I also recomend Los fabulosos cadillacs, who have very political messages in their music. They have a song dedicated to victor jara, its called "El matador"
well those are my recomendations!!!

Bruce Cockburn has spent years composing
songs that rebel against the injustices he has witnessed during his travels in Latin America. This is a song on the land where I was born.

.....breakfast woodsmoke on the breeze --
on the cliff the U.S. Embassy frowns out over managua like dracula's tower the kid who guards fonseca's tomb
cradles a beat-up submachine gun --
at age fifteen he's a veteran of four years of war
proud to pay his dues he knows who turns the screws
baby face and old man's eyes blue lagoon and flowering trees -- bullet-packed masaya streets full of the ghosts of the heroes of monimbo women of the town laundry work and gossip and laugh at me -- they don't believe i'll ever send them the pictures i took for every scar on a wall there's a hole in someone's heart where a loved one's memory lives
in the flash of this moment you're the best of what we are -- don't let them stop you now nicaragua
sandino in his tom mix hat gazes from billboards and coins
"sandino vive en la lucha por la paz" sandino of the shining dream who stood up to the u.s. marines --
now washington panics at u2 shots of "cuban-style" latrines
they peek from planes eavesdrop from ships voyeurs licking moistened lips 'cause in the flash of this moment
you're the best of what we are --
don't let them stop you now nicaragua
