In the 70s the CIA coordinated militar dictatorships in our countries. It started in Chile when Salvador Allende won the elections and there was a socialist impulse in the whole continent
And in Argentina was in 1976 to 1982, Videla, Massera and Agosti were the dictators of "Junta Militar". They called it "National Reorganization Process" but it was a fancy way to say "Dictatorship"... The movie "La historia oficial" can show some of things that happened, and a bit harder to see is the movie "Garage Olimpo" The last year was Malvinas' war, they said "we are winning" but it was a LIE, after that, we back to democratic regime, but never will be the same. And now we have leaders that claim the same economic plan that Plan Cóndor wanted to be implement.

The Condor Operation was the name given to the process organized by the CIA to carry out coups d'état and install dictatorships throughout Latin America (from Mexico to Argentina) in the 1970s. In my country, Argentina, it was a coup that took place on March 24, 1976 (although a process of erosion of the democratic government had already begun before then, due to the lack of political support from some media outlets), and lasted until October 30, 1983, the date of the elections won by Raul Ricardo Alfonsin, who took office on December 10 of the same year. The plan was to end the rise of the left and socialism in the governments of Latin America (Salvador Allende in Chile, for example, whose fall brought dictator Augusto Pinochet Ugarte to power) and at the same time generate the conditions of support (political and economic) for the United States in the "Cold War." In Argentina (I speak of what I know best, although the mechanics were repeated in all the affected countries), there was persecution of politicians, workers, journalists, artists, thousands kidnapped, tortured, murdered and, in the best of cases, forced into exile for years in other countries.
In Brasil, the coup took place on April 1, 1964 and ended on March 15, 1985. The persecution of students, workers, journalists and artists led to families not knowing what happened to their loved ones to this day. America Latina LIVRE
in Mexico they didn't impose a dictator, instead, for 70 years we were governed by the PRI, a political party. It was called "la dictadura perfecta", "the perfect dictatorship". We got a sense of "democracy" when in reality there was none.
In Mexico, although there was no coup d’état because the government was already aligned with US interests, there were several massive control operations at that time, such as the Tlatelolco massacre in 1968 and “El Halconazo” in 1971, both acts against student protesters and the country’s working class. Currently, the state transparency pages declare that the “Cóndor” operation in Mexico was one of the first bilateral operations against drug trafficking in our country, in which herbicides were used to exterminate ilegal crops in some regions; however, it is thought that they were rather used to destroy areas of tall vegetation where various opposition groups were established, in order to weaken and/or exterminate them.
When it says that the "world's backbone are my Mountains", it actually refers to the Cordillera de los Andes, which goes all the way through Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile.
That was an unexpected reaction. This song gives me chills. I used to go to protests listening to this song. On a slightest different note, the part of the chorus that is sung in portuguese, was sung by Maria Rita. She is an important figure in Brazilian popular music and she is the daughter of Elis Regina, one of the most important singers in the 70's and 80's in Brazil. Viva Latinoamerica!
When you were talking about the instrumentation: you got to the bone of Latin American folklore, a fusion of different Indigenous, Spanish/Portuguese and African ingredients (rythms, melodies instruments, singing styles, etc) through 300 years of colonial times, firstly, an then 200 years of indepent history in each country. They are simply adding a new layer (rap) to this deep, rich and varied cultural fusion. Latin America is peak hybridation!
This music is simply a master piece. As a latin American (Brazilian) this is very strong to me and I have been listening to it since 2015 repeatedly and never get tired of it. It really expresses the struggle of our people and how we keep going , surviving, and working , making art & culture in the middle of it, striving and doing the best we can from the challenges we faced, historically being colonized by the Europeans, and recently by the USA (unofficially). And obviously suffering of multiple coups , and ditatorial governments , unequal society , Corruption and other miserable things as the drug dealers paralel govern. A Genius picture of “um pueblo sin piernas, pero que camina” ( a people without legs that keeps walking)
I really appreciate this reaction video.Every line of the lyrics are deep and have a historical meaning for Latinoamerica, but I have to be more specific with the chorus as most people tend to just focus on the historical facts this song points out. The chorus 'you can't buy the clouds...the rain...my happiness' hits very hard because Latinoamerica is a nation as a whole that has been abused and often our corrupted governments have sold all our resources to foreign first world countries for very little money, and nobody knows where the money they received goes to because there are absolutely no social programs actually helping our population, same thing with our taxes. This is why the song is describing an important part of what we are currently living even today, basically saying 'you steal/get all my natural resources, at least you can't buy my happiness, our rain, our clouds, but if you could, you would'. The video was also filmed in my home country, Peru. Cuzco is my favorite city in the world and i have traveled to many countries, currently residing in Sydney, Australia as well, and still Cuzco will forever be my favorite city in the world. Great reaction mate. Gained a subscriber 😁
@@jessikaeguia1946 thank you very much! You’re right, I totally missed that aspect of it, this is why I’m enjoying diving into this kinda music! It’s teaching me stuff I had no idea about, whilst also letting me find new music that I’m really enjoying ☺️
Latin America, I am Mexican, and I must say that the love of our people transcends borders. Across our entire region, we live with a deep affection for our people. We are all brothers and sisters, walking together, even without knowing the whole story or the burdens that each one of us carries on our shoulders. We will always be there for one another, without knowing names, without understanding each other's pains or joys, we will walk together through the world-without discrimination, without judgment, no matter how far apart we may be. We will be there for each other because love unites us and goes beyond borders, encompassing the entire world. In my country, Mexico, we have a beautiful saying: "It doesn't matter where you're from; a Mexican is someone who loves Mexico." Any person is our people, our joy, and our pain. With open arms, this is Latin America.
I freaking love that song!!! I cry every time I watch the music video! when I listen to that song, I feel ready to lay down my life for Latin America lmaoooooo
Siempre me hace llorar , lloro como un bebe, me parte el alma como argentina, pero a su vez como latinoamericana hace sentirme orgullosa de nuestra lucha y nuestra capacidad de reir y bailar a pesar de las crisis economicas y el hambre. Nacer aca no fue una eleccion pero es un privilegio...
im latina, argentinian. ive been listening to this song since childhood, but obviously i didnt understand the lyrics back then when my family played this song. im glad its reached as far as scotland. my bf is british and ive showed him this song bc its so meaningful to us and it makes me cry everytime :) im glad u liked it and analysed it
I just can't seem to find a way to not shed a tear every time I hear this song... i probably only listen to it about 4 or 5 times a year. it just hits deep. (i'm Mexican)
Great reaction, thank you! I'm not usually into rap but this song works so well, the whole package of music, lyrics and visuals in the video is great in my opinion. Another good one would be "This is not America" by Residente (the rapper who has now a solo career), it's like a complement to Childish Gambino's "This is America", very political and way angrier than "Latinoamérica", with a good music video to go along with it but tricky because it's full of lyrical and visual references to stuff that has happened in Latin America
Residente IS the raper of Calle 13. The difference betwren the lirics sanged by Chico Buarque and him IS the time the songs where made. Chico ,s song is in the years of dictator goberments and Residente,s song is when people could express their thoughts. ( Missing) People just desapeared if they had any thoughts not acording with the dictatorials goberments. The suggestions to reaction This IS not América, IS a good one. IS the entire history of Latinoamérica in a song. It IS a history class. Brillant. This one IS exactly what you said: I am going to Talk with proud about the entire Latinamérica. And sorry, the vives are not flamenco It IS almost all music from the Andes, the people Who present them speak Quechua one of the native languages of south América. Great reaction...and beautiful song
Loved that you chose to react to this iconis latinoamerican song ....this song represents our culture and mentality : a nation withot legs that some how mooves forward ... Very indigenus . Gracias from Colombia
A curious instrument used in this song is the quijada de burro (the donkey jawbone). The quijada, whether of donkey, horse or cattle, in this case also known as charrasca, cacharaina, charaina, carretilla, calanguana or kahuaha, is used as a percussion instrument in various parts of Latin America.
In 2025 this song is more than important and resonates a echoes in every corner of Latin America ! With the menace of trump and other fascists rising this is a hymn of resistance! ✊🏽
It is really very interesting to see you... since you show a genuine interest in what you are seeing... and yes... the lyrics of the Latin American songs are very powerful since many of them have been the product of pain and struggle
Hermosa reacción y excelente análisis! ❤ Una realidad de lucha interminable. América latina sigue siendo colonizada por los grandes capitalistas, cada vez más ricos😢 Si no somos solidarios entre los pueblos la tragedia va a ser mayor.
A great song to follow this one would absolutely be “This is not America” by Calle 13 as well. Latinoamérica shows the brilliance through resilience of our people, but This is Not America shows the Grit of our people amongst what destroys us constantly.
Saludos desde Venezuela. Siempre lloro al escuchar este canción y sentirme orgullosa de mi bella gente de toda América Latina, de su lucha día a día por salir adelante a pesar de tantos conflictos, problemas, injusticias. Esta canción es un himno a esa lucha que ha llevado años y demuestra que somos fuertes y no nos rendimos. Aqui se aprecian los diferentes ritmos musicales de diferentes países, el sonido de instrumentos autóctonos, las voces en diferentes idiomas y lo mas bonito, los paisajes y las caras de toda esa gente hermosa de diferentes países.
wonderful reaction! I find ur insight’s very honest and meaningful. Keep reacting to latin music! i think as a scot u will find it quite relatable. Saludos de uruguay🇺🇾
Hablar sobre la operación Cóndor y reforzar nuestra identidad cultural no solo refiere a que somos fuertes ante tanta desigualdad y problemas sociales. Si no también es un proceso de memoria, donde el dolor y las cicatrices que tiene nuestra sociedad nos recuerda que no debemos permitir, ni repetir la misma historia, nuestro dolor nos hace mas fuerte y nos enorgullece mirarnos y saber que seguimos siendo un continente en construcción. Nuestros dolores, tristezas y alegrías nos constituyen como una unidad identitaria cultural Latinoaméricana y Calle Trece tuvo la suficiente habilidad para remitir a esa sensibilidad latina que aun sigue con las venas abiertas(Galeano).
i left PUerto Rico before Residente began and i thank you for introducing me to him and his music. Like you i dont like rap but i do like it when its used to discuss real , raw topics instead of the garbage most rap does .
What a beautiful reaction. I think you understand everything! Lovely. As Latinoamerican i'm proud of this song, and makes me cry every time I hear it. Definitely every line has a reference. I'll put them in another comment to you.
Every time our people is discriminated by some U.S people or U.S politicians. This song unify us and make us feel proud of our roots as Indigenous Native Americans. Our people is in need because we’ve been stole our entire history, what is left is the things they can’t buy. WeStillHere
You should definitely check This is Not America...maybe you'll miss some references...but you won't regret it. Thanks for your reaction. Greetings from Argentina 🩵🤍🩵
A genius song through and through written & composed by puertoricans which makes it pretty much a miracle. Puerto Rico is still to this day a colony of the US, often referred as another state of the US but they can’t vote in the presidential elections, nor they are recognized as Americans… unless they apply and get citizenship. Thank you for reacting to it and for the extra gift of your accent: you got me with “lyrically” ❤
Almost everything was correct in your statement, except, we are American citizens since 1917 when US needed our kids to go to war and finally, after 19 years of having us as a colony (we were invaded in 1898), then they gave us citizenship. We just need to move to one of the states to be able to vote, can't do it from Puerto Rico. Everything else, greatly explained.
@@roblespsyc thanks for clarifying that. I thought puertorriqueños weren’t full US citizens. Maybe it is because here in Mexico, the main right that sets apart residents from citizens, is the right to vote.
The song 'Tierra Zanta' by Trueno is a song I would say is a newer version of Latinoamerica by Calle 13. Lyrics are available on his Tiny desk concert. His tiny desk is also one of my favorites, it was refreshing to see a young argentinian rapper with good songs, vibes and lyrics
In my opinion, Calle 13s most underrated song would be 'Preparame LA Cena'. Besides beign lyrically emotional, the visuals are what drives this song home. Cuz I believe every nation in the world has the struggles the song talks about.
ok, HEAR ME OUT, you gotta listen to this one by the same singer but is recent, it's called This Is Not America: ruclips.net/video/GK87AKIPyZY/видео.htmlsi=2dOd-W3Dfu1XNk7G The video and the music are pure art, since he mixes styles. There is a BUNCH of historical references but you can easily find explanations on the comments or on the web. Also thanks a lot for the reaction, calle 13 is AWESOME
Obrigado por reagir a essa música. É linda, forte e maravilhosa. Expressa todos os sentimentos dos latino-americanos contra a intervenção internacional que culminou com as várias ditaduras implantadas na América Latina coordenada pelos EUA. Sugiro que veja também a música " This is not América " também cantada pelo interprete de Calle 13. Um forte abraço.
This song always makes me so emotional, I was 7 when it came out, and I remember singing it in my music classes at school, this one and "This Is Not America" are for sure my favourite calle 13 songs Also the name it's pronounced calle trece, like 13 it's pronounced in spanish Anyways great video, so happy you liked the song ❤ If you make more videos about calle 13 or Residente (Reciente is the singer of calle 13) I recomend "This Is Not America", "Atrevete-te" and "Bellacoso" which are the most popular
Latin America I am, I am what they left I am all the leftovers of what they stole A town hidden at the top My skin is made of leather, that's why it can withstand any climate I am a smoke factory Peasant labor for your consumption Cold front in the middle of summer Love in the time of cholera, my brother The sun that rises and the day it dies With the best sunsets I am development in the raw A political speech without saliva The most beautiful faces I have ever met I am the photograph of a missing person The blood inside your veins I am a piece of land that is worth it A basket of beans I am Maradona against England scoring two goals I am what my flag holds The backbone of the planet is my mountain range I am what my father taught me He who does not love his country, does not love his mother I am Latin America A people without legs, but who walk, hey! You can't buy the wind You can't buy the sun You can't buy the rain You can't buy the heat You can't buy the clouds You can't buy the colors You can't buy my joy You can't buy my pain You can't buy the wind You can't buy the sun You can't buy the rain You can't buy the heat You can't buy the clouds You can't buy the colors You can't buy my joy You can't buy my pain I have the lakes, I have the rivers I have my teeth for when I smile The snow that makes up my mountains I have the sun that dries me and the rain that bathes me A desert intoxicated with peyote A sip of pulque to sing with the coyotes All I need I have my lungs breathing light blue The height that suffocates I am the molars of my mouth chewing coca Autumn with its leaves fainted Verses written under the starry night A vineyard full of grapes A cane field under the sun in Cuba I am the Caribbean Sea that watches over the little houses Performing holy water rituals The wind that combs my hair I am all the saints that hang from my neck The juice of my struggle is not artificial Because the fertilizer of my land is natural You can't buy the wind You can't buy the sun You can't buy the rain You can't buy the heat You can't buy the clouds You can't buy the colors You can't buy my joy You can't buy my pain You can't buy the wind You can't buy the sun You can't buy the rain You can't buy the heat You can't buy the clouds You can't buy the colors You can't buy my joy You can't buy my pain You can't buy the wind You can't buy the sun You can't buy the rain You can't buy the heat You can't buy the clouds You can't buy the colors You can't buy my joy You can't buy my pain You can't buy the sun You can't buy the rain (Let's walk) (Let's walk) (Let's draw the path) You can't buy my life (let's walk) The land is not for sale Rough work, but with pride Here we share, what's mine is yours This town doesn't drown in squabbles And if it collapses I'll rebuild it I don't blink when I look at you either So that you remember my last name Operation Condor invading my nest I forgive, but I never forget, hey! Here you breathe struggle (Let's walk) I sing because you can hear it (Let's draw the path) Oh, yes, yes, that's it (Let's walk) Here we are standing Long live America! You can't buy my life
Te voy a seguir espero tu reacción reacción El aguante y Guerra!!! Gracias!! Saludos 🇦🇷 (los dos temas son de calle 13 o residente co.o quieras llamarlo!)
You are a good person, and also intelligent. Colonialism does not only attack Latin America, it is everywhere, and it is one of the biggest problems. ❤️🔥 🇦🇷 🏴
el tipo de música que suena en el coro es "cumbia" ella es Toto La Momposina la que tambien canta "Rosa, que linda eres". La cumbia se escucha en todo el continente.
Latin America has a lot of great songs, with deep lyrics like this one. Some of them are kinda coded, or straight up coded, due to repression in the 60's, 70's and 80's. I'm from the Rio de la Plata so I know more about Argentinian and Uruguayan songs, but there are examples from all over the continent. And even the non political ones are some kind of great. Lots of word play, cross references, and twists. Also there's a funny side, and some trash too, I'm not going to deny that, so be careful out there 😅
essa musica me emociona muito toda vez que eu ouço ela, penso em todas as vidas de gerações que passaram no continente latino, toda a exploração e sabotagem de países que se aproveitaram e se aproveitam economicamente e socialmente, ainda sonho com uma américa latina unida e soberana perante a todos os problemas que esse capitalismo tardio impõe
Yes...IS an incredible song, the lirics are soooo good, and if while you are hearing It you do not regret how little we care about other people, you are not human. A máster piece
The sentiment that bind us latin americans comes from suffering, and bleeding of our land, the pride of being latin american comes from resilience in the face of this things
Mi himno, en estos tiempos tan difíciles donde USA quiere de nuevo deshumanizarnos y tenernos como su boogieman en el resurgimiento o mejor dicho el desmascaramiento del facismo en suelo estadounidense (nazismo y Sionismo rapaz), escuchar esta canción me da fuerza. Somos Latinoamérica, el pueblo que ha sobrevivido todo y cuando el polvo se asiente y los imperios caigan aquí seguiremos. Gracias por darnos tu perspectiva desde Escocia, no sé mucho de tu país pero entiendo siempre el amor que un pueblo tiene a su patria y el deseo de libertad, autonomía e independencia.
Residente is the solo project of rapper in Calle 13, he is friend of Bad Bunny, who made a recoed that you may review: Debí tirar mas fotos! (DTmF!) Is the album name
Another song that has a similar vibe is "Tierra Zanta" from Trueno (an Argentine rapper). Here is the link ruclips.net/video/POAdMW-4yfw/видео.htmlsi=q642lF1l-dAbFPRW but it's in Spanish and have no subtitles, maybe you can read the lyrics in English if you google it. It's another folklore instrumental (from the Andes music) fusion with rap/hip-hop vibes. And all the things that they do with the horses in the video are typical abilities from gauchos, or country people from Argentina that training horses to looks like if they were dead or who jump off the horse when it is still galloping.
Operación Cóndor was like the Night of the Long Knives in Nazi Germany where they killed every political oppositor and probable state enemy, but instead of being 1 night, was decades.
Rene tiene muy buenas canciones y algo nuevo hay un chico en la Argentina es trueno y su canción tierra zanta podrias reaccionar a esa tambien esta miy buena
Well.. I don't know hotO started but you are the best reach have seen.. maybe cuz u are a Scott I love calle 13 i was born in the Latin Caribbean and... this song is very accurate
I admit I'm not a fan of Calle 13, since I'm not into hip-hop or fusion rap (the group's genres). Oh well, I still gave a like to your video to support you. =)
I don’t think people realize how important this song is right now
This song is the hymn of Latin America
In the 70s the CIA coordinated militar dictatorships in our countries. It started in Chile when Salvador Allende won the elections and there was a socialist impulse in the whole continent
Operación cóndor

Accurate Thanks 😢😢😢😢 WE STILL ARE STRUGGLING BECAUSE OF THE FU...ING C.I.A. DESTROYING ALL LATIN AMERICA 😢
When it says that the "world's backbone are my Mountains", it actually refers to the Cordillera de los Andes, which goes all the way through Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile.
And Ecuador... hahaha
Cordillera de los Andes doesn't pass through Brazil.

A curious instrument used in this song is the quijada de burro (the donkey jawbone). The quijada, whether of donkey, horse or cattle, in this case also known as charrasca, cacharaina, charaina, carretilla, calanguana or kahuaha, is used as a percussion instrument in various parts of Latin America.
You understood everything man, specially the feeling it makes us feel every time we hear this song
La Bala or Calma Pueblo are two awsome songs of Calle 13. Very nice reaction mate!

In 2025 this song is more than important and resonates a echoes in every corner of Latin America ! With the menace of trump and other fascists rising this is a hymn of resistance! ✊🏽
It is really very interesting to see you... since you show a genuine interest in what you are seeing... and yes... the lyrics of the Latin American songs are very powerful since many of them have been the product of pain and struggle
Thank you for doing this one! ❤
Much love to you from Guatemala 🇬🇹, Central América
Hermosa reacción y excelente análisis! ❤ Una realidad de lucha interminable. América latina sigue siendo colonizada por los grandes capitalistas, cada vez más ricos😢
Si no somos solidarios entre los pueblos la tragedia va a ser mayor.
Wow!!!!! I really enjoyed your reaction! It was super interesting to get to know your thoughts about the music and the message!
Thank you!!
Hey man! I really enjoy your reactions! You are an intelligent and sensitive human being. Cheers from Argentina!
A great song to follow this one would absolutely be “This is not America” by Calle 13 as well. Latinoamérica shows the brilliance through resilience of our people, but This is Not America shows the Grit of our people amongst what destroys us constantly.
Saludos desde Venezuela. Siempre lloro al escuchar este canción y sentirme orgullosa de mi bella gente de toda América Latina, de su lucha día a día por salir adelante a pesar de tantos conflictos, problemas, injusticias. Esta canción es un himno a esa lucha que ha llevado años y demuestra que somos fuertes y no nos rendimos. Aqui se aprecian los diferentes ritmos musicales de diferentes países, el sonido de instrumentos autóctonos, las voces en diferentes idiomas y lo mas bonito, los paisajes y las caras de toda esa gente hermosa de diferentes países.
There are so many songs by Calle 13 you should check out, but the lyrics are always worth breaking down.
this song is one of the modern veins of Latin America. Thanks for the subtitles, the lyrics are so important
wonderful reaction! I find ur insight’s very honest and meaningful. Keep reacting to latin music! i think as a scot u will find it quite relatable.
Saludos de uruguay🇺🇾
Hablar sobre la operación Cóndor y reforzar nuestra identidad cultural no solo refiere a que somos fuertes ante tanta desigualdad y problemas sociales. Si no también es un proceso de memoria, donde el dolor y las cicatrices que tiene nuestra sociedad nos recuerda que no debemos permitir, ni repetir la misma historia, nuestro dolor nos hace mas fuerte y nos enorgullece mirarnos y saber que seguimos siendo un continente en construcción. Nuestros dolores, tristezas y alegrías nos constituyen como una unidad identitaria cultural Latinoaméricana y Calle Trece tuvo la suficiente habilidad para remitir a esa sensibilidad latina que aun sigue con las venas abiertas(Galeano).
i left PUerto Rico before Residente began and i thank you for introducing me to him and his music. Like you i dont like rap but i do like it when its used to discuss real , raw topics instead of the garbage most rap does .
i loove your musical analysis of the song!! it is reaally insightful
hi from argentina
What a beautiful reaction. I think you understand everything! Lovely.
As Latinoamerican i'm proud of this song, and makes me cry every time I hear it.
Definitely every line has a reference. I'll put them in another comment to you.
Also, youd like to react to This is not America, another great song
You understand everything ! Gracias ! VIVA LATINOAMÉRICA
A qui estamos de pie..... Que viva la America .
.❤️🔥🎤🌎🌈
Every time our people is discriminated by some U.S people or U.S politicians. This song unify us and make us feel proud of our roots as Indigenous Native Americans.
Our people is in need because we’ve been stole our entire history, what is left is the things they can’t buy.

When you opened your mouth and a Scottish accent came out I knew you would be able to appreciate this. Thanks for sharing your reaction!
Love this lyrics.
From 🇨🇷🇨🇷 thanks for your reaction to this song. Very powerful and moving lyrics Glad you had a translation. 🤗
Ah, yes, this could easily be the anthem for the whole region. Very inspiring.
Try their song "El Aguante", I think you'd have fun with that one
La "operación cóndor" desapareció a muchas personas en Latinoamérica, solo en Argentina desaparecieron a mas de 30 mil.
You should definitely check This is Not America...maybe you'll miss some references...but you won't regret it. Thanks for your reaction.
Greetings from Argentina 🩵🤍🩵
A genius song through and through written & composed by puertoricans which makes it pretty much a miracle. Puerto Rico is still to this day a colony of the US, often referred as another state of the US but they can’t vote in the presidential elections, nor they are recognized as Americans… unless they apply and get citizenship. Thank you for reacting to it and for the extra gift of your accent: you got me with “lyrically” ❤
Almost everything was correct in your statement, except, we are American citizens since 1917 when US needed our kids to go to war and finally, after 19 years of having us as a colony (we were invaded in 1898), then they gave us citizenship. We just need to move to one of the states to be able to vote, can't do it from Puerto Rico.
Everything else, greatly explained.
@@roblespsyc thanks for clarifying that. I thought puertorriqueños weren’t full US citizens. Maybe it is because here in Mexico, the main right that sets apart residents from citizens, is the right to vote.
You will listening Calle 13 (Puerto rico) with Mercedes Sosa from Argentina. The song "Hay un niño en la calle". It's magnific! Excelent!
❤ hola amigo. Reacciona a el con Mercedes Sosa. Con el tema. Un niño en la calle. Gracias abrazo 😊❤❤
love that song
100%
There is a live version, with the Venezuelan Philharmonic Orchestra
The song 'Tierra Zanta' by Trueno is a song I would say is a newer version of Latinoamerica by Calle 13. Lyrics are available on his Tiny desk concert. His tiny desk is also one of my favorites, it was refreshing to see a young argentinian rapper with good songs, vibes and lyrics
In my opinion, Calle 13s most underrated song would be 'Preparame LA Cena'. Besides beign lyrically emotional, the visuals are what drives this song home. Cuz I believe every nation in the world has the struggles the song talks about.
ok, HEAR ME OUT, you gotta listen to this one by the same singer but is recent, it's called This Is Not America: ruclips.net/video/GK87AKIPyZY/видео.htmlsi=2dOd-W3Dfu1XNk7G
The video and the music are pure art, since he mixes styles. There is a BUNCH of historical references but you can easily find explanations on the comments or on the web.
Also thanks a lot for the reaction, calle 13 is AWESOME
Amo a René es orgulloso americano. Y lo mejor dice todo l9 malo de nuestros pueblos no esconde las verdades
Obrigado por reagir a essa música. É linda, forte e maravilhosa. Expressa todos os sentimentos dos latino-americanos contra a intervenção internacional que culminou com as várias ditaduras implantadas na América Latina coordenada pelos EUA. Sugiro que veja também a música " This is not América " também cantada pelo interprete de Calle 13. Um forte abraço.
And the line " yo Canto por que se escucha" is hymns
This song always makes me so emotional, I was 7 when it came out, and I remember singing it in my music classes at school, this one and "This Is Not America" are for sure my favourite calle 13 songs
Also the name it's pronounced calle trece, like 13 it's pronounced in spanish
Anyways great video, so happy you liked the song ❤
If you make more videos about calle 13 or Residente (Reciente is the singer of calle 13) I recomend "This Is Not America", "Atrevete-te" and "Bellacoso" which are the most popular
Latin America
I am, I am what they left
I am all the leftovers of what they stole
A town hidden at the top
My skin is made of leather, that's why it can withstand any climate
I am a smoke factory
Peasant labor for your consumption
Cold front in the middle of summer
Love in the time of cholera, my brother
The sun that rises and the day it dies
With the best sunsets
I am development in the raw
A political speech without saliva
The most beautiful faces I have ever met
I am the photograph of a missing person
The blood inside your veins
I am a piece of land that is worth it
A basket of beans
I am Maradona against England scoring two goals
I am what my flag holds
The backbone of the planet is my mountain range
I am what my father taught me
He who does not love his country, does not love his mother
I am Latin America
A people without legs, but who walk, hey!
You can't buy the wind
You can't buy the sun
You can't buy the rain
You can't buy the heat
You can't buy the clouds
You can't buy the colors
You can't buy my joy
You can't buy my pain
You can't buy the wind
You can't buy the sun
You can't buy the rain
You can't buy the heat
You can't buy the clouds
You can't buy the colors
You can't buy my joy
You can't buy my pain
I have the lakes, I have the rivers
I have my teeth for when I smile
The snow that makes up my mountains
I have the sun that dries me and the rain that bathes me
A desert intoxicated with peyote
A sip of pulque to sing with the coyotes
All I need
I have my lungs breathing light blue
The height that suffocates
I am the molars of my mouth chewing coca
Autumn with its leaves fainted
Verses written under the starry night
A vineyard full of grapes
A cane field under the sun in Cuba
I am the Caribbean Sea that watches over the little houses
Performing holy water rituals
The wind that combs my hair
I am all the saints that hang from my neck
The juice of my struggle is not artificial
Because the fertilizer of my land is natural
You can't buy the wind
You can't buy the sun
You can't buy the rain
You can't buy the heat
You can't buy the clouds
You can't buy the colors
You can't buy my joy
You can't buy my pain
You can't buy the wind
You can't buy the sun
You can't buy the rain
You can't buy the heat
You can't buy the clouds
You can't buy the colors
You can't buy my joy
You can't buy my pain
You can't buy the wind
You can't buy the sun
You can't buy the rain
You can't buy the heat
You can't buy the clouds
You can't buy the colors
You can't buy my joy
You can't buy my pain
You can't buy the sun
You can't buy the rain
(Let's walk)
(Let's walk)
(Let's draw the path)
You can't buy my life (let's walk)
The land is not for sale
Rough work, but with pride
Here we share, what's mine is yours
This town doesn't drown in squabbles
And if it collapses I'll rebuild it
I don't blink when I look at you either
So that you remember my last name
Operation Condor invading my nest
I forgive, but I never forget, hey!
Here you breathe struggle
(Let's walk) I sing because you can hear it
(Let's draw the path) Oh, yes, yes, that's it
(Let's walk) Here we are standing
Long live America!
You can't buy my life
Viva Latino America ❤️🇧🇷
I love this song ❤
In Brazil we have _rap_ with _samba_ .✌️ There is a rapper called Marcelo D2 and some others who do this.
Ok mate you got to me reacting to our musicians, I had to subscribe and check all your reactions
Thank you!!
Te voy a seguir espero tu reacción reacción El aguante y Guerra!!! Gracias!! Saludos 🇦🇷 (los dos temas son de calle 13 o residente co.o quieras llamarlo!)
Just ran intp your channel. If you haven't reviewed War or Rene from Residente, you meed to. Pure genius.
ARGENTINA...NACION CON IDENTIDAD...!!!!
Calle 13 are master of any genre
La operación condor fue lo que nos jodió la vida a los lationamericanos
Molto bene grazie fryfru.
You are a good person, and also intelligent. Colonialism does not only attack Latin America, it is everywhere, and it is one of the biggest problems. ❤️🔥 🇦🇷 🏴
el tipo de música que suena en el coro es "cumbia" ella es Toto La Momposina la que tambien canta "Rosa, que linda eres". La cumbia se escucha en todo el continente.
Check out: This Is Not America by Residente, Residente is the Singer of Calle 13, it will blow your mind away
No entiendo nada de lo que dices, aunque me lo imagino. Me encantó tu reacción ❤
Latin America has a lot of great songs, with deep lyrics like this one.
Some of them are kinda coded, or straight up coded, due to repression in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
I'm from the Rio de la Plata so I know more about Argentinian and Uruguayan songs, but there are examples from all over the continent.
And even the non political ones are some kind of great. Lots of word play, cross references, and twists.
Also there's a funny side, and some trash too, I'm not going to deny that, so be careful out there 😅
essa musica me emociona muito toda vez que eu ouço ela, penso em todas as vidas de gerações que passaram no continente latino, toda a exploração e sabotagem de países que se aproveitaram e se aproveitam economicamente e socialmente, ainda sonho com uma américa latina unida e soberana perante a todos os problemas que esse capitalismo tardio impõe
This is my favorite song of Residente.
REACT TO ¨WAR¨
Yes...IS an incredible song, the lirics are soooo good, and if while you are hearing It you do not regret how little we care about other people, you are not human. A máster piece
Calle 13 has made music of every genre they where different they have one called el aguante Irish genre recommend it
The sentiment that bind us latin americans comes from suffering, and bleeding of our land, the pride of being latin american comes from resilience in the face of this things
You must react to This is not America , from Residente , who is the signer of calle 13 , when they split ....it is a bangner ❤❤❤❤
listen to residente : "this is not america", residente´s response to childish gambino "this is america"
You have to check Latin America Calle 13 with the Venezuelan Symphony, that's something else!
Mi himno, en estos tiempos tan difíciles donde USA quiere de nuevo deshumanizarnos y tenernos como su boogieman en el resurgimiento o mejor dicho el desmascaramiento del facismo en suelo estadounidense (nazismo y Sionismo rapaz), escuchar esta canción me da fuerza. Somos Latinoamérica, el pueblo que ha sobrevivido todo y cuando el polvo se asiente y los imperios caigan aquí seguiremos.
Gracias por darnos tu perspectiva desde Escocia, no sé mucho de tu país pero entiendo siempre el amor que un pueblo tiene a su patria y el deseo de libertad, autonomía e independencia.
Rene o calle 13 tienen canciones realmente impresionantes
Te vas a seguir sorprendiendo si los escuchas.
Residente is the solo project of rapper in Calle 13, he is friend of Bad Bunny, who made a recoed that you may review: Debí tirar mas fotos! (DTmF!) Is the album name
👏👏👏👏
Hola, gracias por reaccionar, deberías escuchar al rapero venezolano Canserbero, toda su musica del álbum muerte te sorprenderá.
Another song that has a similar vibe is "Tierra Zanta" from Trueno (an Argentine rapper). Here is the link ruclips.net/video/POAdMW-4yfw/видео.htmlsi=q642lF1l-dAbFPRW but it's in Spanish and have no subtitles, maybe you can read the lyrics in English if you google it. It's another folklore instrumental (from the Andes music) fusion with rap/hip-hop vibes. And all the things that they do with the horses in the video are typical abilities from gauchos, or country people from Argentina that training horses to looks like if they were dead or who jump off the horse when it is still galloping.
Totally ❤, Tierra Zanta
❤🙌🏻
Operación Cóndor was like the Night of the Long Knives in Nazi Germany where they killed every political oppositor and probable state enemy, but instead of being 1 night, was decades.
Rene tiene muy buenas canciones y algo nuevo hay un chico en la Argentina es trueno y su canción tierra zanta podrias reaccionar a esa tambien esta miy buena
Residente saca canciones así, muy sentimentales una de ellas es "Rene" probablemente te guste
its weird , "latinoamerica" show why we love our country , but "this is not america" learnd us why are we fighting for :S
Well.. I don't know hotO started but you are the best reach have seen.. maybe cuz u are a Scott I love calle 13 i was born in the Latin Caribbean and... this song is very accurate
I am going to STRONGLY recommend "Guerra" by Residente, who is the Rapper & main writer for Calle 13.
Please react to Trueno ft Víctor Heredia "Tierra Zanta" amazing lirics and video ❤
I admit I'm not a fan of Calle 13, since I'm not into hip-hop or fusion rap (the group's genres). Oh well, I still gave a like to your video to support you. =)
