Download this Episode of Beat Latino (MP3)
We Latinos have long sung about leaving our homeland and creating a new life and identity in a foreign land that we sometimes come to call home. The tunes selected for this hour of beat Latino highlight the heartaches as well as triumphs of the emigrant/immigrant experience, and are mixed with chants and sounds from the first Mayday Immigration March in Chicago, Illinois.
