ChocQuibTown - Somos Pacifico

Difficulty: Intermediate

Colombia

The Colombian Pacific coast is a forgotten paradise. Its habitants complain about the lack of attention from the rest of the country, but it might be this bit of isolation that helps them maintain their rich culture. ChocQuibTown comes from the world’s rainiest lowland, and it is there that they learned to mix African drums and Latin beats with hip-hop and funk, creating a totally new sound that’s firmly rooted in their tradition.

Tu Rock es Votar - Armando - Part 2

The ensuing cloud surrounding the election left a bitter taste in the mouths of many Mexicans.
