Having "Cabeza caliente" (hot Heads) as parents isn't always a bad thing!
Growing up I would listen to Spanish revolutionary music, while all my friends listened to main stream music. My parents explained to me in great details as a child, and i remember the meanings of these songs. Here are some songs I grew up listening to, and music that really helped shape Latin America when there was much bloodshed!
Los Guaraguao
Ramon Leonardo (Dominican)
Mercedes Sosa( Argentinean)
